Las Vegas was built on a desert and in order to attract visitors to the City, it must have something for everybody's individual whim and fancy. Besides, who can live by gambling alone, right? After our sky high visit to the Stratosphere Tower, we took the "Deuce"; a 24 hour bus service along the Las Vegas Strip and found ourselves in the Mirage, Venetian & Treasure Island hotels and casinos. Adrian & I had made a pact to visit all the hotels with entertainment attractions and shows. Thus, began our challenge...
The Mirage
Main attraction here was Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden. You have to pay to get in. Nevertheless, their rare white tiger was on display for the public's viewing at the entrance of the hotel. Lucky, lucky us!
They have a nice selection of desserts at the Carnegie Deli...yummy ;)
And my Grandmother's all time favorite - anthuriums and orchids.
The Venetian
Our next stop across the road was the Venetian; a hotel, casino and shopping mall fashioned after life in Venice, Italy. I loved everything about this place. At least, I could experience a bit of Venice, its life with all its grandeur and splendor of Venetian architecture. This without having to fly all the way there :)
This gondola ride takes you right inside the Grand Canal Shoppes
Inside the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes...
Treasure Island (TI)
The best public entertainment spectacular so far - the Sirens of TI show. Let's see if you agree ;) As for the plot, well...it didn't really make any sense so just enjoy the dancing and live action. In short, sexy sirens lured some pirates to their lair for some supposedly "nocturnal" activities.
