Day 4 Oasis RV Resort Las Vegas, Nevada

We spent most of today walking along the Las Vegas Strip. There are two free parking lots in town. Planet Hollywood and Treasure Island both allow you to park for free. We chose to park at Planet Hollywood. They make you walk a long way through their indoor shopping area before you make it to the street. The inside of the mall was very opulent. At one end, the ceiling was painted to look like the sky at dusk, giving you the illusion the you were actually not inside at all.

We passed a store filled with sport memorabilia. This is Shaq’s size 22 basketball shoe!

Outside, walking along the street, you are assaulted with sights and sounds and smells…an over-stimulation of the senses…but jaw dropping! We started with the Bellagio.

The decadence, the luxury, the beauty of this place.

The ceiling in the lobby is covered with more than 2,000 hand blown Chihuly flower blossoms. It is gorgeous!

Another Chihuly arrangement.

We didn’t gamble, but I was getting ready to take a picture of the casino.

This lady with her three little dogs was walking through. She allowed one of the little dogs to poop on the carpet inside the Bellagio!!! I was flabbergasted!! She whipped out a little orange poop bag and proceeded to pick up most of the dog poo…a young guy walking by made her go back and get the rest. A casino guard came to assist…

The conservatory and botanical garden was my favorite part of the day. The theme for the Spring 2019 exhibit is Japanese Spring. You could smell the cherry blossoms.

We walked down the Boulevard, taking in the sights.

They are still building…

We stopped for lunch at the Sugar Factory.

By the time we walked back past Caesar’s Palace, the fountains were all spouting pink water!

The Strip from the pedestrian bridge at Planet Hollywood.

We aren’t city people, but this is a special city. It was fun to spend the day here.

Tim and I have both noticed that the planes appear to be suspended in the air for a long time as they take off and before they land. I’m not sure if it’s because we can see so far, or if it might be due to the elevation, or maybe even the clear, dry air.

We spent a lazy afternoon and then grilled some bison burgers.
