Under the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada - November 7, 2011

Under the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada - November 7, 2011

     I took this photo on my birthday a few weeks ago when I was in Las Vegas, Nv.   This Eiffel Tower, outside of the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas,  is half scale the size of the real Eiffel Tower in  Paris, France.   It is wonderful and I got to play and win at blackjack in this Paris Hotel.  <grin>

Colorado River Delta Behind the Hoover Dam - November 6, 2011

       I took this photo a few weeks ago when I was in Las Vegas and went to see the Hoover Dam.  In this photo you can see how low the water level is behind the dam. The large pillars are for the  penstock water intakes/spillways.

Dancing Fountains Outside the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas - November 5, 2011

Dancing Fountains Outside the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas - November 5, 2011

     When I came outside of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas a few weeks ago,  classical music started to play and the light and the fountains began to move beautifully.   It was mesmerizing to watch.   This is one of the many  photos that I took  of the fountains in motion that night.
