Las Vegas Fremont St Experience

On one of our evening tours we went to Downtown Las Vegas to experience the older part of Vegas and saw all the old original Neon signs that they are now restoring to their original beauty. So of course we had to spend a couple of hours photographing them all... enjoy









The ElCortez Hotel Casino was one of the original Hotels in Vegas.























These 3 Neon signs originated in the 1940's











Some of these Neon Signs originated in the 1940's and 1950's


















I had fun Zooming my lens when shooting the lights.

Our Evening with Cher

The highlight of our Vegas trip was seeing the Cher Concert the night before we left Vegas. She's still got IT! Great voice - spectacular costumes and sets and not hard on the eyes - even at 64 years old!! WE LOVE CHER!



Walking the Strip during the day

Lots of Disney & Looney-Toon Characters outside the Casinos during the day to pose for photos with kids and adults.



































The new Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino as well as the New Shopping Center next door and the new Aria Hotel behind it are all very Slick and Modern. The main bar in the Cosmo as well as all interiors are dripping with diamonds - that's the 'theme' glitzy Bling-Bling - loved it.
















































The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Casino is beautiful but not as striking as it is at night.

Blanche & Lucy visit Valley of Fire in Las Vegas

Less than an hour north of Las Vegas we found the most beautiful red rocks and great hiking with loads of Petroglyphs - and unfortunately some very disrespectful graffiti..... The dogs had a great time hiking and so did we....a must see next time you visit Vegas.
