Speechless Sunday: A Kiss For A Song

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace NV License # 56750

One of the photo themes I'm working on is called "CityCenter Reflections". The new $8.5 billion development from MGM Mirage features striking architectural design creating lots of visual interplay with light and glass.

In this shot, the ARIA Resort & Casino (the largest LEED Gold award winning building in the United States), is reflected in the exterior of Eva Longoria Parker's new restaurant, Beso, which is Spanish for kiss.

John - They certainly don't do things in a "small" way in Las Vegas!  That's the biggest "kiss" I've ever seen:-)

John,

Who would have thought a "Desperate Housewife" would have their own restaurant. I find reflection pictures fascinating.

What a change, when I think of the MGM, I think of the run down hotel on the strip, not the new kid on the block.
