Las Vegas – Part 2

This post showcases the Strip during the day. For photos of the Strip at night, see Las Vegas – Part 1 and for a complete Las Vegas guide with shows, attractions, adventures, and quick tips, see Las Vegas, Nevada.

Las Vegas – City of Lights! The famously glamorous city sits in the middle of the desert, surrounded by striking mountains in Nevada, USA. It’s a place of fantasy, where the world’s most iconic experiences and landmarks come together in one electrifying city.

These photos were captured during our visit in late November 2011, mostly during the day, when the Strip is bustling with activity. Strolling along the Strip offers a vibrant mix of hotels, attractions, street performers, and unforgettable photo opportunities, this part highlights the city’s energy and sights in daylight.

    Great photos! I don’t like gambling (meaning I don’t like losing money) but it would be worth a trip because there is a lot to do in Vegas.
