Cruisin' the strip
When SFS and I first arrived in Las Vegas, I was a little overwhelmed. It was the first time I had ever visited the city, and there was SO MUCH to take in! Lucky for me, SFS' uncle has lived there over 30 years and knows a ton about the area! Being the nice guy he is, he drove us up and down the strip and showed me the lay of the land. And, being the kooky girl I am, I stuck my head out the window and took a picture of every darn thing I saw!
Don't believe me? Check these out:
Here's the Stratosphere:
Treasure Island:
The Mirage:
The Monte Carlo:
New York, New York:
Excalibur:
The Luxor:
(Complete with an obelisk...)
Mandalay Bay:
And the MGM Grand:
Towards the end of the our tour, we even got to visit one of the most famous landmarks in Las Vegas...
The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign! (I bet you didn't know that was its official name!)
As if it wasn't cool enough, there's even a little mound in front of the sign which offers a perfect picture opportunity... so SFS and I posed for a quick one!
Many thanks to SFS' uncle for showing me around town and not minding a crazy tourist hanging out his car window all afternoon snapping away with her camera! I hope you're having a great day- thanks for visiting my blog!!
