Dancing Water At The Bellagio

Looking at all that water cools you down on a hot autumn day.

White Xmas In Vegas

We always have a white Xmas in Vegas, but only indoors - real snow is not for us. Irving Berlin wrote the song "White Christmas" in sunny California, because he was missing the real thing - a Jew yearning for snow? Not me - I'll take the skating penguins.

Photographing Xmas

You'd never know this was the slowest week in Vegas by the crowds at the Bellagio Conservatory - no one was looking at anything, except through their lens.

Bellagio Conservatory: The Colors Of Fall

I like to check up on the Bellagio Conservatory to make sure it's as intricate and lovingly planted as ever. It is.

Bellagio Conservatory At Easter

It's springtime at the Bellagio - it sure smelled wonderful.

Vegas Overrun By Giant Rabbits

The Bellagio outdid itself in celebrating the Chinese New Year - the year of the giant rabbit. Pictured is the money our Asian guests bring us.

Merry Xmas from Vegas - the Bellagio always provides a feast for the eyes.

Merry Xmas to all my blogger friends and thanks for visiting. Next week this photo blog is one year old.

Vegas Poker Rooms

The MGM has one of the bigger poker rooms - very well run, but wedged between Studio 54 and a bar, it's very loud. I go to the Riviera to meet elegant men - that's OK, I'm not so glamorous myself. The Fontana Room at the Bellagio is often used for tournaments - you can see the dancing fountains in the window.

Bellagio Conservatory - Fall

Fall has arrived at the Bellagio (if not anywhere else in Vegas) with raining trees, laughing trees and a replica of the Bellagio itself nestled amongst the pumpkins.

Bellagio Conservatory - Summer

Summer is sprung at the Bellagio Conservatory - a giant ferris wheel that looks like sunflower and bits of lighted water spurting everywhere.

Kodak announced today that it's discontinuing the film Kodachrome - digital is better, I think, and so much cheaper. But for sentimental reasons, it's the end of an era (and the beginning of a new one).

What's With The Umbrellas?

It seems every luxury casino has hanging umbrellas in its decor. From top: Palazzo, Wynn, Bellagio. Are umbrellas code for you can't afford to shop here or is there only one decorator in town?

Bellagio Conservatory - Spring

Spring is sprung at The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens - ah, the scent of fresh flowers. The theme is gardens from around the world. I was quite taken with the fountains in shape of balls, but who keeps a giant, decapitated head in their garden?
