Las Vegas #1

This picture was taken in November of 2003. We made the decision to go there because a person has to go and visit the city with 11 of the 12 largest hotels in the world just once.

Las Vegas is a photographer's paradise. Whether you're in a building or outside, day or night, everywhere you turn your head there is a great picture to be taken. The culture and the colors and the things that you'd never see anywhere else...very unique place. I saw many photographers - the serious type, carrying big rigs - with the same look of eagerness that must have been plastered on my face.

Interestingly, the highlight of the trip for me was going to the Hoover Dam. We're not gamblers, and all that glitz, glamour and noise can get to you after a while. Walking the kids through so many casinos sure didn't make us feel any more comfortable, either. So it's good that they have decent day trips that are conveniently available.

All of the Vegas pictures in this and the following blogs were taken with the 3800, a testament to the quality of what it could do with just three megapixels.
