Vegas - larger than life.

It's such a cliche, "larger than life", but when you go to Vegas the phrase just keeps running through your mind day after day. The place is ridiculous.

The Palms, which is about half a mile off Strip, & right opposite The Rio, have installed a new Video Screen on the exterior of their building. Which is 30 storeys (90 yards) high.

Extraordinary clarity, too, & it can be seen for miles. Passengers on aircraft approaching or leaving McCarron Airport can read what it says with ease, though to be fair, McCarron is barely a mile from the centre of the Strip. No City on earth has a better placed Airport, & not a soul complains about noise pollution.

Here's that Palms Video Screen;

    Head to the strip from Palms, turn right, & Paris Hotel has it's own Eiffel Tower. Just a miniature one, but a big miniature.

    Head another half a mile along the Strip, & on the corner of Las Vegas Bvd ("The Strip") & Tropicana sits New York New York Hotel, where they have a replica Statue of Liberty.

    Of, & that backdrop of the New York city skyline behind it? That's a trick of the eye, it's actually one building - the New York New York Hotel, built to imitate New York.

    This tops the lot though.

    I was in Palazzo last night, which is a pretty posh Hotel, sandwiched between Venetian & Wynn, & is where the Sky Poker qualifiers are holed up.

    And this blew my mind away......

    Yup, that's a toilet door.

    Even her Maj at Buck Palace does not have a toilet door that big.

    Tikay where are the Vegas blogs we all yearn for? If you haven't got time fair enough but if you aren't bothering because you think no one would be interested I think you're wrong! ☺

    Even though I couldn't go to Vegas this year myself I would love to hear about other peoples fun in the sun :smiley:

    And especially stories of certain Sky Players who may or may not have been perfectly behaved......
