Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

Las Vegas Photos

Posted in Travel, Photo by Elliott Back on May 20th, 2008.

I recently went on a short weekend vacation in Las Vegas, and while I was there I took a few photos for you to enjoy. Here are the ones that came out best, the highlights as I’d like to call them. You can download high resolution versions from Flickr, if you like.

The Mirage

Circus Circus

Circus Circus’ high flying trapeze act, visible from the gaming floor!

Ibis

The Ibis was spotted at the Flamingo, trying hard to blend in.

Flamingo Reflected

The Flamingo, as seen reflected off the inner courtyard, which has very shiny windows.

Casino Royale

My girlfriend, Wendy, got the 007 reference and made the appropriate and cute action for this shot of Casino Royale!

Random Fountain

Wendy and her mother posing in front of a shopping center fountain.

Caesar's Palace

A beautiful sculpture/fountain at Caesar’s Palace.

Hoover Dam

High-voltage power lines fanning out from Hoover Dam.

France!

Las Vegas isn’t France, but Paris Las Vegas has an Eiffel Tower replica.

Circus Circus Tables

Joshua Trees

Some Joshua Tree near the Grand Canyon.

Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam and Lake Meade; it’s amazing how far the water level has fallen (the white marks) since it was created.

Grand Canyon

Wendy at the Grand Canyon west rim.

Grand Canyon

We went on the skywalk here, an interesting experience given that I’m terrified of heights–but Wendy loved it.
