Las Vegas ( Spanish for "The Meadows"), officially the City of Las Vegas and often known simply as Vegas, is the 28th-most populated city in the United States and the most populated city in the state of Nevada. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.
The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino–hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, and music videos.

Most of the prominent Hotels cum Casinos cum Resorts are located on One Major Road - called "The Strip". True to its name, Stripping is a common feature of 'The Strip'.

Sharing my experiences of the city I visited on the way to the Grand Canyon, in July 2017

The City is set in the middle of desert and is continuing to develop outwards. The Google Earth picture shows the arid and dry desert around the city.

True form of "Jungle mein Mangal"

Wide roads and always full of Traffic. Bridges at all major intersections with Escalators and Elevators for crossing

[Amrik Singh]

Hardly any business in Daytime. Kiosks under canopies for eating and soliciting customers for lively night shows

[Amrik Singh]

Empty chairs are testimony to my observation

Caeser's Palace is an important Landmark of the city. Spiritual dedication also exists in parallel. Atonement of Sins committed is also definitely necessary.

[Amrik Singh]

Plenty of informative Signages around shrine. Roles reversed. Now it is not Lord watching us, but we watching the Lord, while another divine sleeps nearby peacefully

[Amrik Singh]

Beautiful Sculpture of Lord Brahma installed - well adorned.

[Amrik Singh]

Sleep well !!!! Maybe catching a nap prior to Night Duty. Your Servants have installed Surveillance Cameras everywhere.

Problem is resolved as I was doing something wrong

Caeser's Palace, Mirage, Treasure Island and Venetian - Four of the Town's important landmarks. Not to forget another, just feebly visible behind the top of Mirage, bearing signage of Trump Tower. Note the empty roads ... Yes !!! It is afternoon and shall be getting busier as the day turns to night.

Caeser … Guards his own Palace. Wonder why and how a Roman Emperor is reduced to a Nepali Bahadur, the agile Watchman.

The Mirage - Another of the Landmark Casino with beautiful Waterfall at the entrance




Such beauties are abundant and it is a nightmare for visitors to remember what they saw and where.




One of the most beautiful place with a touch of Venice ….. Venetian (Interior Pictures shall follow later)

The Venetian - Panoramic Views created by stitching 4 Pictures each






Decorative trimming of Street Plantations




Famous Casino / Hotel - Treasure Island (with Trump Tower in the rear)






Eating House 'Senor Frogs' … Its proximity with Trump Tower may be the reason of excessive croaking from the Tower Owner




Panoramic view of Eating House 'Senor Frogs'

Another major in list of Casinos / Hotels is 'Palazzo'




Grand Towers of 'Wynn' and 'Encore'. Escalator and Bridge to cross Roads is clearly visible here. Giant Digital Display Boards add to the beauty - especially at night




Trump Tower stands shining Gold. Though slightly off the famous 'Strip', it is still a prime spot





Fountains are almost everywhere. They keep the visitors fresh from excessive heat of Summer which is quite harsh. Even otherwise, the city comes Live only at night which is quite bearable.






A Visitor beams with a Smile. Water Bottle around waist and back-pack and … uhhh … something looking like Camera Bag.
Know him - That's me




Colourful creation at the entrance of 'Encore'






'Fashion Show' … One has to be there to see the beauty and extravaganza … no words to describe
