Images of the fabulous Las Vegas Strip in southern Nevada, taken in April 2008.
The first night in Las Vegas I walked the length of the strip from the Luxor, where I was staying, to the Sahara so that I could get shots of the casinos and their marquees during the twilight hours when their lights were just beginning to be turned on. I took most of these images that first day and spent the rest of my time playing a little blackjack where I “just about broke even” for the time I was there…isn’t that what you’re suppose to say?
