Reflections of My Travel

We came to Vegas for rest… Ironic, right? We must have needed it though since even the hubby slept until almost 10:00. We took our time getting up and around, grabbed the camera bag, and headed out to find breakfast on the strip. After eating, we made our way down the strip walking through the various casino resorts. I am amazed by the detail that they put into the themes of these casinos. I remember being especially impressed by New York New York and Paris

last time we were here. Strange that I didn’t take any indoor pix of these this time. This time we got to go into several that we didn’t see last time. While I had a great appreciation for the Venetian’s gondoliers,

I didn’t feel that the theme was carried through as completely as Paris. While walking through the Venetian, we ran up on these gorgeous umbrella displays

but I soon figured out that they were actually a part of the Palazzo which we had unknowingly crossed into.  

All in all, I think Caesar’s Palace has a more Italian vibe throughout than the Venetian. 

But my favorite place to hang out a while is still Bellagio… more specfically, the Bellagio conservatory.

I want to live in there. All of the beauty and fragrance of a spectacular flower garden without the terror of bees!

I absolutely love that place!!! After several hours of walking around, we finally made our way back to bed for a lovely afternoon nap. It was good to be able to elevate my feet to get my throbbing toes to quiet down a bit. I am very proud of the fact that I managed to do all that walking today without stubbing/banging my toe or having someone step on it. I am concerned though about the outrageous size of them and the fact that my right big toe is now completely numb. Oh well, it will pass. After resting up, we went for dinner and then walked over to the Luxor which I’ve never been in.

The pyramid is actually pretty cool and I’m glad we saved it for night so that I could see it and the sphynx fully lit.
