December 2005. I went to New York and then on to Las Vegas to attend my sister's wedding. Spent 3 days in New York and 4 days in Vegas. What a fun trip!
New York, New York
Just a few pics from New York. I wasn't here for long and didn't do anything touristy.
Las Vegas
Most of these pics are from the Las Vegas Strip. That's where all the glitzy fantastic hotels and casinos are. My hotel was Mandalay Bay which is the soutnernmost one on the Strip. I also visited the Stratosphere - an observation tour at the very north of the Strip.
Hoover Dam
Did a Discovery Tour of the Hoover Dam. It was quite interesting to explore one of the world's civil engineering wonders.
Grand Canyon
I did a fly-over tour of the Grand Canyon. It was such a fantastic experience. The scenery and sites of the Grand Canyon are out of this world! Unfortunately, my pics don't do it justice. I'd need a better camera to be able to take better pics.
Shark Reef
Mandalay Bay, the hotel I stayed at, is home to Shark Reef - North America's only predator based aquarium.
