Daylight in Las Vegas

Here are some pictures of Vegas in daylight.

This is not Italy. It's the Venetian hotel/casino. Just ignore that giant Rita Rudner on the building in the back-she's wrecking the ambiance.

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris casino. It's half of the size of the original. Kevin said they originally wanted to make it full size, but couldn't because the airport is too close. I guess I can see their point, but gosh.

Kevin and I went up to the top of the Eiffel tower. That big hotel is the Bellagio. It's a really pretty, rather pricey hotel/casino.

We stayed up top to watch the fountain show in front of the Bellagio. I'm sorry for the picture. I had to take it through these tiny pesky bars that are all over the place. The Paris casino owners are fussy. They don't want people throwing themselves off of the fake Eiffel Tower, thus ruining peoples' nice vacations.

Can you see the balloon in front of Paris? Further down (out of the shot) is Excalibur, where we stayed the night last summer, on our way home from our big roadtrip.
