Aria

While walking and tram riding, I found the Aria to be a beautiful subject for some photos.

SLS Las Vegas

The SLS Las Vegas is growing on me. It was Sunday, so I was looking for a nice place to watch some football and grab a bite to eat. Enter Umami Burger. Nothing fancy, but exactly what I was looking for. Truffle Burger, Make ‘Em Manly Fries, Moroccan Gun Powder Iced Tea, and NFL Football on a super big screen were the perfect combination.

Mix Lounge

Dec21

You step off the elevator on the 64th floor and you try to maintain your cool. The views at the Mix Lounge will make you want to jump around like when you were a kid. It doesn’t help that the DJ is pumping out tunes and the dance floor with floor to ceiling windows is the first thing on your immediate right. Be cool, stroll out to the balcony, and take a few photos like this place is no big deal. Find a table with the best view of the Las Vegas Strip – there will be plenty of time for eating, drinking, and dancing like a crazy person as the night goes on. 🙂

800 Degrees

Dec21

If you are like me, and you love pizza, check out 800 Degrees in the SLS Las Vegas. You start by viewing the menu while they hand toss your pizza dough. You then select your style of pizza – for me it was Verde, a green pesto pie. Watch as they build your pizza and add the toppings you select – for me, bacon and meatball. Order a salad and a drink while the chef places your pie into the oven. By the time you pay and settle into a table, your awesome creation is ready for you to devour. Yum!

New York

Dec20

Ever wonder what the New York, New York looks like at around 4:00 in the morning? I took this picture from my rental car while I was stopped at a lengthy stop light on Las Vegas Boulevard. Car photography helps keep you awake when you have been listening to DJs all night long and you are on your way back to your nice warm hotel bed. 🙂

Light Nightclub

Dec20

Hello Light Nightclub. Unfortunately, we started off on the wrong foot. You said the doors opened at 10:00 pm, but in reality you made everyone stand in line until 10:30. You had the gall to charge me $12.00 for a single small can of Red Bull. You claimed that “The production and artistry you will experience at LIGHT are something you won’t see anywhere else in the world”, but six dancers on poles intermittently throughout the night is not earth shattering. Luckily, we became friends as your DJs, sound equipment, and light shows turned out to be awesome. A huge shoutout to DJ Stellar and his supporting cast who made the night a truly special one! I would love to see you perform again some day. The party went on until 4:00 am and everyone was having a wonderful time. 🙂

Mandalay Bay

Dec20

My nighttime destination was Mandalay Bay. I wanted to experience the nightclub called “Light”. I got there a little early, so I took a stroll around the hotel to learn more about the place.

Bellagio Fountains II

Dec20

You can always find me admiring the Fountains of Bellagio. My favorite show is now the one designed by Tiesto. Check out the link to see a video that gives you an idea of what his Fountain show is like. Enjoy!
