Thoughts on Las Vegas










Views from sunrise to sunset.
The first photo was our bedroom view.

I never figured I would visit Las Vegas someday.
When Solal mentioned that he would like to go there during our trip, I was so surprised. I first replied: "No way!".
But a friend convinced me that Le Cirque du Soleil shows (we went to see "O") and the Grand Canyon were worth to see.

Las Vegas represents the opposite I am usually drawn to (no offense Hannah!): gambling, money, artificial reproductions.

But I can honestly say that I am really happy I have seen it: it is a such unique experience. It doesn't look or feel like any place else.

On a side note, we began a new blog with Marie, my partner in crime when it comes to photos. It will last only during our trip. We take a photo at the same time each day with 9 hours of time difference. If you want to have a look: here it is.

I know exactly what you mean. I've never ever wanted to visit Vegas. But you've taken some beautiful photos, and I would like to see the Grand Canyon someday...

magnifiques photos!! :)

i know exactly what you mean about las vegas...i have friends who tell me i don't really belong here because i'm so not about anything that vegas stands for, and I totally live for the beach....but it's definitely one-of-a-kind. Nothing else quite like it! Glad you enjoyed my little desert town :) You came during a good time, October has the best weather...It's hell here in the summer.

Love the idea of your new blog!

You're having such "out of the ordinary" experience on this trip! Your photos tell so much about your visit (but no, I wouldn't want to fly everyday!!)

Totally feel the same way as you did about Vegas.
But you've made it look beautiful on the pictures!

intéressant ce billet puisque mon amoureux aimerait faire un voyage à Las Vegas et je n'ai aucune attirance pour la ville, un peu pour les mêmes raisons que toi... Mais j'adore N-Y, à suivre, bon voyage!!
