Quite a view to wake up to the next day.
Vegas, way out the Nevada desert.




It's easy to forget you're not in Italy, but in Vegas. Indoors!









Very Venetian, eh? The system is huge, a gondola ride takes a good while.




This guy can make things fly!
...orbiting around his ear!




[your picture here]

The Mirage, Caesar's Palace is just behind.


Now, back to Treasure Island.

Watch the Brit's sailing in! (movie file)

A peek inside Luxor. It's funny how that giant pyramid is essentially hollow...but I guess all rooms need a view, eh?

It's all about those little details...









This is the King of Atlantis.




His daughter...




...and his son, both fighting over the throne.




...and maybe I just need a stronger flash for my camera?




All these are robots, moving quite a bit during the show.




So, I guess, the outcome...power before beauty?
We all know how Atlantis ended up.









Well, see who's got the last word in this argument...!




All tired, hangin' out in the lobby back home.
