text 8 Apr las vegas: first night on the strip

getting ready to leave the hotel.  i always took too long, and jeremy always let me know.

new york new york was right across the street.

i had to get a picture of these gorgeous candied apples.

we ate a late lunch at a deli in new york new york’s ‘greenwich village’.  i had the sam & emma’s sandwich and tried really hard to finish it, but alas.

inside new new york casino.

we ate dinner in our hotel, at wolfgang puck bar & grill.  after that, we went out and explored the south end of the strip: excalibur, luxor, and mandalay bay.  excalibur is themed like camelot- it’s a huge white castle with plenty of turrets and towers.  mandalay bay is just a very luxurious hotel with plenty of gold and white finishings.

luxor is exactly what this picture shows.  ancient egypt done vegas style, with a black glass pyramid, a giant sphinx, and a miniature nile river.  the beam at the top of the pyramid is the brightest in the world.
