So have I taken you by surprise and flown to New York as part of journey? Nope. This is not the New York skyline, but rather the skyline of New York, New York, the hotel/casino in Las Vegas. Fooled ya'!
I took this at sunset from the roof of the New York New York parking lot. Although you can't see it in this picture, there is a roller coaster ride that goes all around the inside and outside of this casino. As I was taking this photo, people were screaming as their roller coaster came screaming down a steep incline on its way to take them upside-down before heading back inside the casino. And before you ask, no, I did not ride it.
Las Vegas is a one-of-a-kind twilight zone that is unlike anyplace else in the world. Across Las Vegas Boulevard from New York, New York is Paris, another luxury hotel casino on the strip. The day after I took this photo, I walked the streets of New York New York, then had lunch at a sidewalk cafe outside of Paris that is an exact replica of some of the wonderful sidewalk cafes that I have eaten at in the real Paris. I was fun and as I sat there eating my steak sandwich with frit (french fries) and drinking Beaujolais I could watch the people stroll by my table and see the incredible water show every few minutes across the street at the Bellagio. What a city!
