About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Las Vegas, the Strip from Venetian to Bellagio, part 2

Yesterday we walked along the Strip. Actually... we didn't walk... we ran and very fast :) Let's start our second day in Las Vegas and walk again... but just slowly... With some attention to the details... And let's start from Piazza San Marco in front of Venetian hotel where we were staying during our trip.

 

But before we go, let's stop at the 'canal' and look under the bridge... It's hard to believe, but half of the reality is fake... there are no canal after the bridge... it's a mural! Really good one, cuz even staying just in front of it we were arguing if this is a picture or real water running away... Fake...

And now let's go... Let's pass eclectic Harrah's casino (so bright and fancy looking) and look... across the street ;) 


Believe it or not, but this is just a shopping mall. Rome shopping mall, huh?


Oh no, this is definitely not Rome. There was no way to build any of these palaces two thousand years ago. Those are definitely from our days.


Las Vegas is the magic place, where you can find everything. Different architectural styles, mix of reality and dreams and... even wizards are not unusual here. They just sit in the air and beg for some change ;)

Bellagio dancing fountains are famous and it's just impossible not to stop by and wait for such an entertainment. 




Yeah, they are amazing, but... pictures are unable to bring the real impression. Even the video couldn't but... let's give it a chance!



Looking at dancing fountains we walked around the lake and enjoyed the view at Paris (I am sorry, don't take me wrong, not Paris, France, but Paris, Strip, Las Vegas... just a casino ;) ).

Bellagio is one of the most lavish places in Vegas and worth stepping in and looking at. Interesting... we expected everything but not a Chinese poster above the entry door.

Oh, it was the Chinese new year coming and Bellagio was decorated with traditional Chinese art. But before we look at it, let's look up - at the ceiling. Right! It was Chihuly glass! Magnificent!


And... art of flowers... or flower art... Don't know how to name this, but... it was something, I should say!




Imagine - these figures are made from flowers! And the chickens too ;)


And the picture...

We made a circle, spent some time admiring the flower art and decided to leave, through the shopping mall, where you can buy the finest things ever. Provided by most famous brands from all over the world.




Let's stop here and take some breath. We definitely want to walk further, but, probably, after lunch ;)


 Pictures were taken on January 21-23, 2017.
