We had two nights in the
Venetian. What a hotel, enormous rooms (three TVs – lounge, bedroom and
bathroom), a canal system with gondolas (albeit powered by electric motors and
symmetrical unlike the real ones)…
Saint Marks Square
Where you could eat out comfortable in the knowledge that the
weather would not have an impact on proceedings.
Once we had managed to exit
the building (no easy task), outside was all that we had anticipated – plenty
of glitz – I have no idea of the power bill – but it all helps to contribute to
the Hoover dam.
One decoration that caught Helen’s eye is this colourful
ceiling display by American artist Chihuly.
Many of the neon lights have
moved over to pixels which makes the clarity of displays similar to a TV. It’s just
that this is some 3 metres wide and 10m high!
Mind you when there is a glitch
the glitz reverts to Windows...
Although the Eiffel tower was
a little less dramatic than the real thing I suspect many Americans would
question the point of travelling to Europe when they have it all in Vegas.
