20th Oct: Walk the Strip!!!!

 

Every Casino I visit on this main Strip, is creativity at its best with their own creation of cities & era's , which are larger than life as they are stunning. There are time's when it is difficult to fathom if one is inside a Casino or outside in the open, considering the ceilings with its day look is so Real!!!

 

Bellagio, with its absolutely impressive, glass petunia and lily pad ceiling, in the lobby by Dale Chihuly, the undisputed king of the glass art world. The Halloween decorations were incredible, specially the effect of real apples falling down from a cart!!! The water fountains, dancing to opera & classical music, with graceful choreographed moves. Kya scene tha…

 

Caesar, brings to the forefront the Roman culture… laga hum us yug main pahunch gaye!!! Replica of Statue of David, was an eyeopener!!!;-) And the interesting toy shop jiska entrance was made to resemble the Trojan Horse!!!

 

Planet Hollywood, with names like Bruce Willis & Stallone on the board, brings in loads of tourist, hoping to spot some celebrity… aab humara kya … me no think hum kissi se kum, was busy loosing my mullah!!! If it ain't the sightseeing's , then they are definitely here for the Miracle mile shop & the recreation of Alladin's life style, which still hasn't been dismantled after Planet Hollywood took over Alladin!! Wonder what the décor now will be ….. Hollywood Sets???

 

Paris, was … Paris created with Eiffel Tower & Arc de Triomphe thrown in for effect!!! Had buffet here, and ate as if there is no tomorrow…. Tasted just about everything, felt like stuffed Pig's .... was a total Feast!!!

 

Venetian, was the one place which was filled with entertainment for all ages at the replica of St. Mark's Square.Totally enjoyed the soprano singer's, the juggler's et all. Also has a miniature Bridge of Sighs, lagoon where the gondoliers take their passenger's on their Gondola's, while singing to them … adorable!!! And the painted fresco of Michelangelo's Vatican's Sistine Chapel which cover's the ceiling leading from the hotel's registration area to the casino ….very impressive!! Some of the most interesting shops were here including a place called, Welcome to Las Vegas, where I bought some cute sovieners !!! Venice Visited!!!

 

The waterfall, on a tropical surrounding with Dolfin's checking as to who all are visiting, is how Mirage, welcomes us. Famous for it's sea life aquarium & white tiger's, And all we get to see is a royal Bengal tiger , who had camouflaged himself so beautifully with the painting at the back , that , it took us a while to realize, that the tiger was not a part of the painting but for real!!!:-)

 

From there we take the tram to Treasure Island!!! One look and I know I have reached a place for adults!!! Has some exotic shows & the enthralling show, Mystère by Cirque du Soleil, which we would have watched, had we got the tickets !!! sighhhhh … Although TI has gone away from it's Pirate theme, the ships are still there, waiting for a war to rage!!! And the most striking was the Pirate type Bike … HD , I think …. Wish I could have got it back with me!!!

 

The towering mountain at the front of Wynn, is elegant. Wynn is one of the most opulent of all Casino's I have seen so far. From their striking mosaic pathway of flowers & trees, to the 18-hole championship golf course, to the eye catching restaurant's. The only place where we saw a Ferrari showroom & were impressed with the girls at the casino!!! Ahem!!! A place where I definitely want to stay at …….

 

By now, I have Casino's coming out of my ears & nose!!! And have had ample of browsing around the shop's. Saw all the Hi Fashion label's , don't think there is any label that you will not find in these casino's!!! Bahut ho gaya aab …. Daytime visit of all these Casino's!!! Next time around it shall be only during the night, when it is … light.. action … show time!!!!
