Just Before Christmas…

Twas just before Christmas, with no snow in sight, Bellagio’s Conservatory is a beautiful sight.

This giant stack of presents can be witnessed when entering from Via Del Nord, the shops and skywalks over Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd.

This is just before entering the casino area, coming from Via Del Nord, the depth/height of this ornamentis not measured well by the picture. It is H-E-E-U-G-E!

The rest of the pictures are going to be thumbnails, much faster and easier for me, and it allows one a larger view. While there is no explanation of each thumbnail, it’s fairly easy to figure out, the fountain/water is always in the center between two entrance doors coming in from registration. The obelisk is at the far left when entering from registration and it stands in the entrance to a hallway that leads to shops.

Perhaps this post – and all of the blogger pictures – could be a testimonial. I usually carry a camera with me, no matter where I go, and I always run into this, “What’s the camera for?”

At times I say, “It’s a boat anchor.” At other times, “It’s a card protector.” Sometimes I take mercy on the questioner andstate flatly, “To take pictures with, do you want yours taken?”

Maybe some of the IDIOTS read here and now they can figure out what the camera’s for.
