Vegas Part 2

Currently Listening
Wonderful World
By James Morrison
You Give me something

After all the many weddings, it seems to be easy street for a little so I am having a Saturday to myself. I want to catch up on the tennis and watching the soccer anywhere that has FOX sports!
My predictions:
Chelsea Vs Liverpool (1:0 Liverpool)
Man Utd Vs Arsenal (2:1 Arsenal)

Definitely one of the most visited Casinos in Las Vegas is Bellagios. George and the crew of Oceans 11 made this place into must see destination.
This is the ceiling of main entrance of Bellagio. The amount of detail that goes into this part of is stunning.
The sad corruption of a beautiful ceiling.

Uh Huh! It was beautiful when you have music to it.
It was so amazing how everyone including people driving, just stopped to admire this spectacle.

This was our bar at the top of our Hotel.

Willy and I spend so many nights talking about random things. He was like my roommate in most of the places we stayed. Definitely a laughter to my day.
The best Hotel Casino was the Wynn Hotel. (http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/index.jsp)
This guy is a tycoon in the Hotel Casino Business. No one is as innovative and creative in the business as he is.Some of the unique things about the hotel are:
*He has put his name on it so it has to be good
*It has an exclusive golf course that has been designed by some the biggest Pros of the PGA.
*It has a Ferrari Store. Just in case you win the millions you've always sought. A great place to spoil yourself is at this store.
*Best chefs that have been sourced from all over the world.

Seriously I could list so many more special and unique facets of this Casino so I'll let the photos do the talking. Lets just say that I didn't win too much money here.

The casino is really beautifully crafted. Each detail of it is purposely made.

As we were sitting outside on one of the bars at the Wynn, we watching in amazement as the water fountain changed ...to this...
to this...
and then to this..
By the end of the shows we saw here, we became numb to everything being so creative and arty.
The last hotel that we visited was the Venetian.
Most famous for its man made stream of water in the middle of the hotel, it was one Eunji didn't want to miss.
Also our last day in Vegas coincided with Julie's birthday. We thought it would be nice to give her a ride in one...along with Dave and Eunji...we're still not sure why Steve was on this.
Steve looks like he had so much more fun the rest of them. Willy and I decided that we would save this special ride with someone a little bit more significant in our lives.
Our Mothers! The Venetian was the most generous Casino that I visited. I managed to pool back some of the money I lost in the other Casinos. This is the last remaining tour group. Seriously only Asians take shots like this. Steve was granted the chance to become an Asian with us. Some of the classic European artwork which featured in the hotel's ceilings and walls.
Well that concludes my Las Vegas Trip. It was an mind blowing journey through Sin City. I can't explain in words being there. It needs to be something people try at least once in their life.

I guess these photos will spur memories of an entertaining holiday.

I just want to congratulate Steve and Mel on their marriage. You guys did it!
