Las Vegas By Day

Early in the morning the city center gets the morning sun and that's why the glass looks so yellow. That's the new Aria hotel.
The Prada Store at City Center for all you shopping enthusiasts.
The tower on your right is one of the 2 new towers of the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino. It doesn't open until mid December. The building on the left is part of City Center.
So here I am taking a picture of myself in the mirrored sliding glass door on our balcony. It was Limo Man's idea. It's amazing how clear everything is in the reflection. The big building behind me is the Planet Hollywood Westgate Tower. We actually went over to take a look at what they had to offer and got stuck in the "Time Share Trap". At the end of the presentation our guide started to take us into "the room" and Limo Man and I both stopped dead in our tracks and said "We aren't going into the room". Period...
The Wynn on the left and the Stratosphere tower on the far right. I don't know what the big building in the middle is but they seem to be still working on it.
City Center on the left and both of the towers of the Cosmopolitan on the right.
Las Vegas is growing by leaps and bounds but with the economy the way it is today they have a 14% unemployment rate and most of the hotels are working with skeleton crews. Sad...
