Vegas & Niagara Falls

Today with lot of free time on hand I started going through all my old snaps, of my once upon a time US trip. Putting up few of those pictures here.

I have seen many stories done on Vegas on the Travel and Living channel [TLC now], and mostly it revolves around the wild life in Vegas and how the city never sleeps. That all is so true and once you enter Vegas you can clearly see yourself enter an artificial bigger than life world complete with the glitterati and the razzmatazz.

Venetian

I was so impressed by the huge and aesthetically pleasing casinos, specially the Venetian and Paris. The moment you enter them you are in a different world with streets and artificial sky and everything, it is difficult to remember you are inside a mere building. But then it is not a “mere” building, is it.

Night View of the city - Can see Bellagio and its fountains

The lighted view of the entire city from the top of Eiffel Tower of Paris casino is also worthwhile.

Bellagio Fountains

My euphoric moment in Vegas was watching the dancing and lighted fountains of Bellagio in the night. I’m sure I wouldn’t have tired watching them again n again.

Red Rock at the outskirts of the city

Just at the outskirts of this happening city is a serene landscape of red rock. Here many people do rock climbing or rock scrambling. Yeah that’s also something that can be done in Vegas :-)

Niagara Falls

About Niagara falls, I and one of my frens used to joke that anybody and everybody who goes to US (every desi to be precise), has a “Niagara pic” on their facebook/ orkut. Only after visiting these falls I realized why that is so, it has to be experienced to be appreciated. Only after getting drenched in the mist of these majestic falls, with its deafening roar drowning every other sound, I could feel the rush one gets by just being there.
