The truth is that in Vegas, Christmas Day sounds and looks like any other day in Vegas: flashing lights, bells, overweight white men dressed in red carrying bags full of presents and over-consumption of food.
I haven't decided if that makes Christmas here easier or not?

There are at least two free, hotel displays which everyone goes to see: the fountains at Bellagio's and the volcano eruption at Mirage.While they are both technically amazing they are also very funny, or at least they had me laughing out loud.
The fountains are fantastic. They are choreographed to dance and twirl to either opera or pop tunes.

The other thing is that both these displays take place right beside the busiest road in Vegas, the Strip. Drivers and pedestrians all stop to watch these displays which take place every hour or half hour. That only partly explains the horrendous traffic jams.
Ahhhh..... just as I remember them... I am so jealous! They are so camp too... make sure you see Treasure Island too!....
ReplyDeleteGreat pics by the way....!
David Bailey watch out!
Your post about the fountains did make me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteThe big freeze cotinues here and our car got stuck on ice going up to Ryfield, we had to park at the old school and walk up! Very festive!!
We missed you both, especialy for Racing Deamons. Interestingly this year you could improve your score by missing a turn and not getting a minus figure!!
I think they should have Racing Demon in the casinos here - our family would make a killing!
