Beautiful Las Vegas

Just got back from quite the fun trip to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada. My folks were celebrating their 25th anniversary and decided to renew their vows at the Wynn's Wedding Chapel. Saw lots of friends and had an all around good time.

Photos weren't allowed at the ceremony, but I managed to get more than enough shots throughout the rest of the trip. Did my share of heavy drinking and even did a little winning at the roulette table. Time was short, so I'll have to head back sometime soon to do the rides on the Stratosphere.

Whizzing past the Rio on the freeway, it looks like Prince is playing there soon

The Wynn was really hi-class. Very secluded since it's set back a bit from the Strip

Yes, he signed the building. And probably a check just as large to build it...

Did I mention this place was fancy? Smallest tables were $15. And that was at about 8am!

These crazy "flower-balls" were hanging all over the lobby

View from my hotel room. They project colors onto the big white thing at night for a music/light show

Kara, Sandy, and Mary get together for a welcome dinner

Mary is in Vegas and ready to do evil

Dramatic gestures? Must be Dale!

Time for a stroll down the Strip. Bye-bye Wynn!

Fashion Show Mall. I hope the fashion is better than the architecture

Must... stop... to gamble!

"Cold Beer and Dirty Girls" Who could ask for more!?

Hooray Fremont Street! 72oz Daiquiris and 50 cent roulette!

Thanks for the money, Binion's!

Wynn looks spooky in the dark

SHOE!!!

Next stop... Bellagio

These glass flower sculptures cover the lobby roof

They're everywhere!

Caesar's is old school. You almost expect to see Evil Knievel jumping the fountains

They're expanding the Venetian. I think it may become the largest hotel on the strip...

Surprisingly, Bally's was the busiest casino I photographed. I couldn't get a shot without pedestrians in it

Paris. Never liked it, never will

Attack of the nerds

Grandma Smith and Grandpa Bill

We have a winner!

Respect knuckles from Grandma

Time to cash out all her winnings

And back to the Wynn for a good night's sleep. Walking the Strip is tiring!
