Las Vegas, Nevada (VEE)

On another recent work trip to a trade show, I got to go to Las Vegas for the first time.  This post just has a few pictures from that trip.

Thankfully I have a friend who lives there and he showed me around when I was free in the evenings.  The first night we ventured over to Old Las Vegas and wandered around Fremont street.

 On the way back we had to stop in the wedding chapel area (VERY sketchy by night!) to get a quick picture.

On my second night there, we had tickets to go see Cirque du Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio.. amazing!  My face hurt from smiling throughout the show.  If you go to Vegas, you've got to see O!  Afterwards we watched the Bellagio fountains do their thing through a few songs.

 After the show and dinner, we drove out to the edge of time to see the famous Las Vegas welcome sign.
