Las Vegas Character

Ahhh Las Vegas, either you love it or completely despise it.  There are very few big cities in the world that has this polarizing effect.

It is difficult to describe Las Vegas without oxymorons.  It is crass but sophisticated.  Dirty but immaculately clean.  Dark but bright.  There had been very few cities in the world that managed to keep its persona over the years.  Las Vegas is one of them.


Slot Machines inviting right after the passenger gets off the plane

In contrast to the old and not so tidy airport, a stretch limo awaits a VIP guest


There is character with the imitation of the Statue of Liberty at New York New York Casino


100x smaller, the Eiffel Tower at Paris Casino towers the Las Vegas Strip


The authentic sophistication of the famed Bellagio fountain show on a man-made fake lake 


Even nights and mornings are manufactured at Ceasar's Palace Hotel 


H&M turns up the volume here in Las Vegas


Disneyland for the Gamblers - Harrah's Las Vegas


And then you have culture like the LOVE Cirque de Soleil
