Fremont Casino in Las Vegas

This is the 2nd gallery that showcases Fremont Street in Las Vegas (view first gallery).  If you aren’t familiar with Fremont Street, or perhaps never heard of it before, Fremont Street is the way Las Vegas used to be. You won’t find any new, first-class, ritzy casinos here. And the casinos are all far smaller than the monsters you find down on the Las Vegas Strip. (more…)

The Fremont Street Light Show & the 4 Queens Casino

The Fremont Street Light Show & the 4 Queens Casino

Fremont Street in Las Vegas is the way most of Las Vegas used to be. Neon lights, accessible “gentlemen’s clubs”, inexpensive rooms, cheap (if not necessarily good) food, cheap touristy trinkets, and the list goes on. And all that, and more, is why I rather like visiting Fremont Street. You see, as the rest of Las Vegas has gone through a boom (and now, for the time being, a bust), and caters to the higher end visitors, Fremont Street still caters to the visitors who visit Las Vegas on a budget.

The Bellagio Hotel & Casino at Dusk

The Bellagio Hotel & Casino at Dusk

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino is one of the finest hotels in town and also plays host to what is in my opinion the finest free sight available…the nightly showing of the Fountains of the Bellagio. These fountains…and there are hundreds of them…prople water 100 feet into the air, all of which is choreographed to different music. The fountain show is fun, beautiful to watch and is just soooooo Las Vegas…being totally different from anything you’ll find anywhere else. (more…)

Graceful Waters of the Fountains of the Bellagio

Graceful Waters of the Fountains of the Bellagio

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is one of the nicest hotels in the city. And is also one of the best tourist attractions around. Ever evening the Fountains of the Bellagio perform a water show like no other. This water show plays out right in front of the Bellagio Hotel itself, in the rather large pond/lake that is there. You get spectacular views and see something you won’t see anywhere else. (more…)

Towering Columns of Water

Towering Columns of Water

The Bellagio is considered one of the premiere hotels in Las Vegas. It is not inexpensive…but unlike many places that charge an arm and a leg, at least at the Bellagio you do get what you pay for.

The photographs in this gallery showcase both the Bellagio Hotel itself along with the gorgeous Fountains of the Bellagio, the most unique water show you are likely to find anywhere. Be sure to check out the other galleries that showcase the Bellagio, too. For more information about taking photos of this watershow, read the article I prepared called How to Photograph the Fountains of the Bellagio. (more…)

Admiring the Fountains of the Bellagio in Las Vegas

Admiring the Fountains of the Bellagio in Las Vegas

The Bellagio is widely considered one of the premiere resorts in Las Vegas…and it has prices to match. It is also my favorite place in Vegas too…both to stay at and to photograph. The rooms of the Bellagio range from excellent to superb. The food is expensive…but well worth the price. Even their buffet is superb…a rather rare thing in Las Vegas, sadly.

And then, of course, there are the Fountains of Bellagio. Vegas has numerous attractions and unique things. Yet, I still find the Fountains of Bellagio the most unique “sight” in town. (more…)

Photos of the Paris Hotel & Casino

The Paris Hotel and Casino

The Paris Hotel and Casino

The Paris is a relatively new hotel and casino that sits right next to Bally’s and across the street from the Bellagio. With the exception of the Stratosphere, I think the Paris is the most easily identifiable of the hotels in Las Vegas, simply because where else are you going to find a 1/2 size replica of the Eiffel Tower?

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel and Casino is a beautiful structure and was constructed to be an exact 1/2 size replica of the real Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Despite the huge size of the Eiffel Tower, the structure itself doesn’t have much in it. Just a very fancy and high-priced (but exceptionally good!) restaurant and a tiny observation deck at the very top (see Views From the Top of the Eiffel Tower). (more…)

South Las Vegas Strip Seen From the Eifffel Tower

South Las Vegas Strip Seen From the Eifffel Tower

This photo gallery showcases the views one gets from the top of the replica Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas is one of the largest structures in town, and from the top in the VERY TINY observation deck, you get tremendous views of all nearby casinos as well as much of Las Vegas as well.
