Las Vegas '05


We stayed at two different hotels while in Vegas, Aladdin and Luxor.  This map of the Las Vegas Strip shows the location of both hotels and also their relation to the other resorts on the strip.  We visited just about every hotel/casino north of the Aladdin on our first two days and hit the other hotels/casinos south of the Aladdin on the last two days.  Wednesday was spent at the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.  Our room at the Luxor was much nicer than the Aladdin.  Both casinos were very similar, but the Luxor seemed to have a much busier atmosphere.

We rented Jet-Skis at Lake Mead, so there aren't any pictures from that portion of the trip.  Just about everything got soaked while we were riding and I lost my sunglasses when I fell off, so using the camera was out of the question.

There are also no pictures from the casinos since taking pictures was prohibited.

 

 

 

We took a handful of pictures, but only about 60% turned out okay.  These can be seen below.
