Las Vegas and Valley Of Fire State Park


In my last post I mentioned that we were based in Las Vegas while touring the area.  We stayed in The Venetian Hotel on the Vegas strip.  At this point, Kirk and Joan's daughter Natalie and her husband Burt joined us on our adventure.  Here are a few photos of the Venetian Hotel, then on to The Valley of Fire State Park.

The Canal. 
All of this structure is inside the Venetian.  The sky is painted on the ceiling. 
You can take a ride on the canal in a gondola if you like.

All of these structures are inside the Venetian in the area called The Canal.

On leaving the park, we drove through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

 We finished off the day with a show at the Linq featuring illusionist Mat Franco who won American's Got Talent.  He was amazing.

  1. Wow, the Venetian was plenty of bucks I bet! Did you take a ride in the gondolas? I wouldn't miss it! Reminds me of the Hotel in Nashville that had a stream running through it. They filled it with bottles of water from lakes and rivers from all over USA. Love the red rocks.

  2. It is far less expensive when compared to other telephone services, especially by those being used by major organizations. A small business phone service could still be useful for small Business Phone Service enterprises because of its reliable and accepted functions and other specialized features.
