"Las Vegas is the only place I know where...




"Will That be on Your Tab?"
IPhone
Las Vegas, Nevada



...money really talks.  It says, "Goodbye"."
-Frank Sinatra





"Cluster of Jewels"
Las Vegas, Nevada



"Contemporary Las Vegas is astonishing at night, it is a brilliant cluster of jewels,
of all shapes, sizes and colors.  Glowing in the middle of a vast, black velvet canopy."

-Tomas Taj Ainlay, Las Vegas:  The Fabulous First Century










"Vegas Blur"
Las Vegas, Nevada



Alan:  This isn't the REAL Caesars Palace, is it?

Hotel Clerk:  What do you mean?

Alan:  Did, uh, Caesar live here?

Hotel Clerk:  Ummm, no.

Alan:  I didn't think so

-The Hangover






"The Cosmopolitan"
Las Vegas, Nevada


"Vegas is purposely constructed as a self-enclosed isolated biosphere.
Sort of what a recreational colony built on the moon might be like."

-Marc Cooper, The Last Honest Place in America







"A Bride Around Every Corner"
Las Vegas, Nevada


"Marriage is a big deal,
but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas
and get married to see what it's like for a minute?"

-Lindsay Lohan



















"I hate Disneyland.
It primes our kids for Las Vegas."

-Tom Waits














"In a city of illusion, where change is what the city does, it's no wonder
Las Vegas is the court of last resort, the last place to start over, to reinvent yourself
in the same way that the city does time after time."

-Hal Roebman, Neon Metropolis







"Man...I really like Vegas"
-Elvis Presley


They also say "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".   Unless they were hosting a casting call for "What NOT to Wear" while I was in Sin City,  I'd say...I concur.







Here's where I'm linking up today ..."The Party's On"

Please join me on Sundays for Song-ography.
This week's song title is Aerosmith's "Pink"

  5. Such great shots!

    To me, Vegas is just a gigantic Atlantic City - and having grown up there all the fuss and pomp and glitz is of no interest to me lol! When I go to Vegas it's to see family!

  7. It's such a glitzy downtown strip. Definitely no longer a Deano, Sammy and Frank Sinatra kind of town.

  15. Your photos are stunning! The "Cluster of Jewels" is absolutely beautiful!!

    Vegas seems mysterious and little scary to me. You did a great job in capturing its individuality in your photos and quotes.

  16. Right, that's it - you are in SO much trouble - how can you expect me to take in all these great shots and comment on all of them, oh my..... that second shot with the lights of the hotels and then that waterfall shot against the other waterfall. Words? I have none.... thank you for sharing, as always, what a pleasure to view this, and appreciate it. Renee

  17. Fantastic collection of Vegas and perfect accompaniment of quotes. What NOT to Wear - I thought they had finished filming their final season (gonna miss Stacey and Clinton - even if sometimes I think they need a re-do themselves).

    Hugs~
