Las Vegas at Night





















We can easily enjoy the beautiful sightseeing of Las Vegas City during the night, when the hotels and casinos turn their neon signs on and light up the city's night atmosphere. Our first night experience was attending live show at hotel Rio. The show was located at the first level with the main stage on the casino area and with several moving stages that were slowly moving around their rail, hanging on the ceiling. The fabulous dancers performed their abilities at the main stage and the hanging stage, while a few of clowns did their atractions among the casino's alleys. When the show was ended, the clown and dancers distributing a light-weight necklace to the lucky audiences. I said lucky, since they just threw the necklace toward the crowd of audiences. After satisfied with live show at Rio hotel, we moved to Bellagio hotel at the strip area, a hotel that offers a dancing fountain show every 15 minutes at their giant pool. From the location of dancing fountain pool, we can also enjoy a strategic view of other hotels nearby, such as hotel Paris, Aladdin, Ballys, Flamingo, and Caesar Palace. For your information, Vegas offers hotels with special theme likes New York, Egypt, Sahara, and Paris. For example, the Paris hotel has a miniature of the Eiffel Tower at their front yard, while the New York hotel has a miniature of the liberty statue and the Chrysler building. The Sahara hotel has a miniature of an african palace (while The Aladdin hotel offer an arabic palace), and the Circus hotel, as its name has a lot of circus symbols at the yard. The Luxor hotel, is an Egyptian pyramid shaped hotel that burst a white light from the top of its pyramid toward the dark night sky. Since the light is so focused and so strong, even the astronaut at outerspace also can observe this light. At the Bellagio hotel itself, we also has an opportunity to see indor panoramic at the hotel's lobby which the theme is changing every 5 years. This years, it offers a panoramic that consists of miniature of majorUS point of interest, such as the NY bridge, the capitol house, and the statue of former US president crafted on the hill side, Florida's forest, and others. Moving from the Strip hotels area, we were heading to Freemont street, the other major point of interest in Vegas. The uniqueness of freemont street is the street itself is covered by a long ceiling structure, which is spanned along the street, that actualy is a live graphical display, controlled by a computer system and showing a short film. The film is about an invasion of Allien creature to Vegas. The US fleet command can get ride of the allien mother ship, yet there are escaping alliens who finally reach Vegas and quietly play poker at the casino. What a funny story that packages in (maybe) the longest LCD display on the world. At the freemont street, we can also enjoy a live piano show on a truck, shop at specialized store, dine at restaurants, and of course play at the casinos. The freemont experience was the end of our night tour at Vegas. Well it is a faboulous city with its night life.
