Las Vegas Trip 2013: Further Down The Vegas Strip - The Cosmopolitan, Bellagio and Venetian...Kid Free!


At the beautiful Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas

Intricate glass bead work from every angle

Stunning hotel, we spent lots of time admiring the décor

Still day two here in Vegas, and after a long afternoon of swimming, daddy was nice enough to bring the kids back to the hotel for a nap, so momma and nana could meander further down the Vegas strip and explore some of the newer hotels and casinos. We got to explore inside The Cosmopolitan, Bellagio and Venetian. These are all beautiful hotels, of which we shall stay in one day, mark my words. The Cosmopolitan was perhaps the biggest surprise, because I had no idea it even existed prior to exploring. It is quite lovely inside and has numerous spots for photo opportunities with its elegant chandeliers. Nana and I spent lots of time here admiring the beauty of all the sparkling glass alit with the loveliest lilac and pink hues.

After the Cosmopolitan, we headed down to The Bellagio and took some photos outside by the water, then it was off to The Venetian. At this point it got to be quite a long walk, but it was worth the trip to quickly visit the Venetian. The last time I was in Vegas, the Venetian was brand new and still under construction, so it was nice to see what it looked like in completion. It is a beautiful hotel and, having been to Venice myself, I can say that the outside features and building replicas are a very nice tribute and do bring some Italian charm amidst an otherwise dry and arid desert.

Beautiful day for a walk outdoors

Inside the Bellagio; lovely hydrangeas

Beautiful replicas of Venetian buildings and structures

Amazing hotel - the interior is just as impressive

Gondola ride, anyone?

Love this hotel. One day, we will stay here
