Its been some time since I was in Las Vegas. I used to go every year for the CES Consumer Electronics Show and the last year I went was much different as I went with a friend of mine and his son and uncle in 2006, pretty much all expenses paid including fine dining at the Four Queens. We stayed at the Four Queens in the old part of Vegas on Freemont Street. Lots has changed since these photos were taken but the lifestyle of the Las Vegas experience is alive and well.
One of the days we planned to go to the Ballagio that night so I decided to grab my Nikon and walk from the Four Queens in the morning and meet them later that day. The weather was great and the walk was several miles in some pretty intense heat. I made my way through a few of the casinos during my walk and finally met them at the Balagio. Here are a few shots from my walking experience.
Throughout Vegas hotels there are fabulous store fronts with amazing extravagant works of art. This photo is a model of a Chris Craft vintage boat made of mahogany and gold plated metals prince in the several thousand dollar mark.
The shops that sell Murano glass from Italian artists have some absolutely amazing works of art. These musical instruments made from blown glass artists from the Murano factory are working instruments. They sell for thousands of dollars.
