It had been many years since I last visited and there were many more casinos that have come down only to be replaced by fancier and newer hotels. Straight from the airport, we take one of those airport shuttles directly to the hotel.
The inside of the shuttle is fairly standard. Looks like a mini bus and the rates were much cheaper than a taxi. The only thing is you have to wait for the shuttle to get full before leaving. The rates at this time were only $4.75 a person. Now that is cheap.
The driver was pleasant and new his way around the strip. He completely avoided Las Vegas Blvd and still gave us a nice tour of the casinos from a distance.
The parking structures are stacked up to 6 floors high depending what casino you are visiting. This makes it convenient for the patrons to drive and park. It also made for a nice perspective view from the ground.
I want to say the next building is of Bellagio Hotel which was a brand new casino at the time. It has the great water fountain themes in the front.
This shot is a peak a boo of the the Eiffel Tower in front of the Paris hotel. The clouds in the background make it cool.
These casinos have a ton of nice architecture with great details. I know everyone is here to mostly gamble, but if you appreciate buildings this place has many to admire.
I am guessing this building is the Venetian Hotel which is where the company booked us to stay. At the time, I think this was the latest 5 star fancy shmancy hotel to open. Quite honestly, if we didn't win this trip, we were not going to be able to afford to stay here.
