Vegas night scenes – Travel Photo Mondays

Night time is when sin city comes alive with all the glitz and glamour that you’d expect from this city whose motto really lives up to its motto ” What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” The brilliance of the night scape and dazzling lights really put on a spectacular show even if your walking down the strip, which it seems every night is filled with thousands of thrill seekers checking the night-time scenes.

There’s nothing like seeing the entire strip from a vantage point above. Hanging out at the Cosmopolitan swimming pool for a travel conference, it was fun to check out the crowds below walking through the strip, although the party scene up at the pool was also fun with open bars, food stations and a cool band. Check out the pool scene below and some of the flashy interiors at the Cosmopolitan.

Downtown Vegas – It’s live!

Downtown Vegas is a different vibe, it’s totally retro cool with these older casinos turned hip with their old school neon lights and night-time scene happening with the Fremont Street Experience. It seems like everything is happening all at once when you enter the  Fremont Street promenade with live acts everywhere, go-go dancers shaking their booties on top of outdoor bars, live bands singing and people zipping overhead through a course beneath the largest video screen projecting electric light shows. It’s almost over the top and on hyper drive walking through the promenade.

In East Fremont street, things are a little more subdued but just as lively with the hipster crowd hanging out at popular bars, eateries and nightclubs.  All the small casinos on this side have been converted to cool hangout spots for locals and tourist to enjoy something truly unique and exciting in this revitalized area.

Night time Scene from my room

I think by far my favorite late night-time scene is from my fantastic room at the Monte Carlo Hotel on the strip and looking out on the spectacular City Center on the strip. My bed was all the comfort I would ever want in Vegas, but it also came with an amazing living room and kitchen. The bathrooms were huge including a large Jacuzzi whirlpool in the bedroom area overlooking these magnificent views. Needless to say I really enjoyed the views and soaking after a very long day touring Sin City all day and night.

 

Ah yes, my delicious bed at the Monte Carlo Hotel

Here’s my absolute favorite shot of the day, because I was in heaven the minute my head hit those soft pillows. Good night from the Monte Carlo and sweet dreams for Travel Photo Mondays. Please do visit the bloggers below participating today.
