Did you know that this is not the only “Welcome to Las Vegas Sign? On our first trip to Las Vegas, we did not come upon this sign. Instead, we found another one located in the city and mistakingly thought THAT was the famous sign. But somehow it did not look like the sign we always have seen in pictures. On our second trip to the city, we set out and looked for this sign and finally found it.   Bella Italia! Vanish into this hotel for a feeling of Italian flair. Not only can tourists shop and play games here but also can, as in Venice, travel in gondolas through canals. The inside of the Venetian was elegant, chic and traditional. It is like going through a trail of luxurious Italian architecture and arts.   Viva la France! Even in Vegas the Eiffel Tower dominates the city skyline. This half scale exact reproduction is 460 feet high and has elevators inside to bring visitors up to the top for a breathtaking view of Vegas. The Paris Hotel highlights are definately a must see in the dark. When on the strip, they cannot be missed.   One popular attraction is the fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel. Every 15 minutes the fountain perfoms a water show to music such as “Viva Las Vegas” from Elvis. Inside the Bellagio Hotel has a light and airy appearance to it. It is innocent, free and cheerful. It is like a child’s world full of colors and balloons.   The highlights of the “Big Apple” smack in the middle of Vegas.

When standing inside, the doors to the rooms are visible and they go all the way to the top of the pyramid.   The Fremont Street Experience is quite a distance from the Las Vegas Strip but is worth the visit.
