JUNE 1999
 |
I began my 1999 summer vacation by flying to Las Vegas. Enroute I had a quick plane change in Phoenix. I stayed at the Stratosphere Hotel for my three days in Las Vegas. |
Even though I visit Las Vegas about once per
year, there is always something new to see when
I come back. All of the huge resort hotels
above had opened since my visit a year ago.
Above is the erupting Valcano at the Mirage.
Above is one of the casinos on Fremont Street.
The Fremont Street Experience boasts a canopy
of more than two million lights arching across
a four-block expanse of downtown Las Vegas.
While there I saw a couple of the animated
sound and light shows.

from the Rio Hotel.
