Vegas- Part 1 - A Visual Diary -

Hi Ladies!

Nice to be back!

I will bore you a bit with vacation pics - I will be back to outfit posts soon!

My pics will be a mix of my I-pod and my small Cannon camera

What is it to say about Vegas?

Over the top, decadent, trashy, dirty, rich, poor, opulent, classy, hot and cold, questionable, grandiose, earsplitting -

Would i go back ? No - But it has to bo seen to believe it!



The view from our room - We stayed at Le Paris
We had supper in the Eiffel Tower Restaurant
Very fancy dinner !

We saw 3 shows in Vegas - Love and O from Cirque du Soleil and Phantom of the Opera

The shows in Vegas are extraordinaire!

I was so lucky to see such magnificient shows!

This is so weird...this morning my husband sat down to share with me his pictures from his trip to Vegas...he had almost the exact same pictures. You guys may have even been at the same places over the last few days! He had the Eiffel Tower one taken from the dancing water fountains and he took alot at the NY place...he was fascinated with the car dealership inside! Looks like you had fun and you look so cute. I had to work last week and that is why I did not go with him....but I am like you, I do not know if I would even want to..but the pictures are fun!

You are so cute in these photos! Thanks for sharing your good times. I've pretty much sworn to never go back to Vegas, I just can't deal with being part of the huge environmental tolls it takes to feed a massive desert city. Thanks for letting me rant. Can't wait to see your Grand Canyon photos! I loved it there. One of my grumpiest friends once described the Grand Canyon as "the most amazing thing I ever saw in my life." I love that such a curmudgeon said that!

Did you get hitched, Ariane, did you, did you?!
Vegas looks amazing, everyone I know who has been there says it's an extraordinary place to visit, like no other.
You look as though you enjoyed it anyway, love your cute little skirts! xxxx

I love your photos and confirm that I really must go to Vegas one day :)
Glad to see you back and can't wait for more blog updates!

Joni James said...

I agree with the comments about Vegas and not wanting to go back. Once or maybe twice is plenty. We went one year and it was the first time in 11 years they had snow. We were freezing because we didn't bring coats thinking it was going to be so warm.
Glad you saw some great performances. They're definitely the best thing down there. ;)
Love your sleeveless blouse!

The Grande Dame said...

Oh it does look so exciting and overwhelming. Beautiful buildings, the pool is spectacular! Hope you had a nice break away from reality. Looking forward to your next post!

Connie said...

Oh Vegas Love it and Hate it. These pictures are great. I especially love the last one. Sooooo cute!

It looks pretty crazy!

The Style Crone said...

So over the top! I've been in Vegas twice but not for over 30 years. Sounds like a lovely time and will be waiting for your outfit posts.

I have been to Vegas, and had a wonderful time - a trip to the desert, great food, A Cirque De Soleil show and a backstage showgirl tour, etc. Would I go back? Probably not, I just wanted to see it once. I'm glad you enjoyed it - you look like you are having a lot of fun in your photos!

Terri said...

It has been years since I've been to Las Vegas and have not seen most of this myself. I love to see you wearing Izzy's top. But, most of all I wish that I could see a Cirque du Soleil show myself.

Vix said...

Welcome back! Love the print of your top in your first photo, it's fabulous! Glad you enjoyed your trip even if you didn't like it enough to return. xxxxxx

Lorena said...

I love that las picture of you - and there are places like that. You went, you saw them - but you don't really have an interest in going back. That happened to me in Morocco.
I plan to go to Vegas at the end of the year.. let's see how that works.

O D Y S S E Y said...

That last photo...sooo fun!
I've been to Las Vegas once but didn't care for it. Definitely a place to be experienced, and as you indicated, once is enough. :)
Your hair is looking even prettier than ever.
