Shopping, Playing, Touring

Christmas is definitely in Las Vegas -- the poinsettias were gorgeous everywhere we went. These were at the new Palazzo.

And we went a lot of places! I showed you a bit of the Caesar's Palace display the other day. Here's a different view.

And here is another spot in Caesars -- massive ceilings and sculpture.

Yet another spot in Caesar's that was fun but a little cheesy was the conversation with the gods -- all animatronics (or godotronics?)

The Forum Shops inside Caesars provided lots of good window shopping...

And fun at FAO Schwartz.

I wonder how many others try to recreate the scene from "Big" with the plastic piano!

Outside, a spectacular fountain.

There are lots of fountains in Las Vegas. (I don't want to think about the environmental issues related to these...) The fountain show outside the Bellagio was hourly and worth a look.

And I loved this fountain by Paris. Some kind soul took this one after seeing me trying to take a photo of myself!

Here's a detail of one of the fountain sculptures.

I love the Venetian. My favorite window shopping place was a mask and puppet store. (I'm saving the puppets for another time!)

This was where we saw the Renaissance-style singers with the delightful holiday program.

There were lovely stained glass windows in many spots.

And I leave as I started, with poinsettias -- these from Bellagio (as is the window above).

Countdown to Blogaversary! I can't believe I've done this a year!
