neon (vegas) skies - nothing is subdued in the neon capital of the world |

1 Aliens have landed. The new MIB ride. No, it's the Fashion Show Mall and their new attention-grabbing front entrance. No more yellow submarine themed restaurant. (No one cared for the Onion Ringos.) |
 | |
2 I think they're gonna do all sorts of video and light projects off of it so that you can't miss it as you pass by on the strip. |
 | |
3 This picture had Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" playing in head. So naturally, I had to buy the song at the iTunes store. |
 | |
4 Steve Wynn is trying to top his Bellagio with a new $2 billion dollar casino. It's right across the street from the mall, so even if the casino turns out to suck, you can go shop to forget about it. |
 | |
5 The St. Louis Arch casino. No wait, it's just a new McDonalds. |
 | |
6 Lunch was provided for the crew of Matte Elsbernd's photolog by McDonald's which asks "When was the last time you deep-fried your dinner?" |
 | |
7 Bally's already has an odd-looking front area, but with the clouds, it just looks weird. |
 | |
8 On my walks home down Newbury Street in Boston I used to pass by the Burberry store. For some reason, I've always found myself calling the Barbary Coast the Burberry Coast. They don't exactly have ANYTHING in common. |
 | |
9 Hey look! Milli Vanilli are playing a concert in the lounge at the Barbar Hotel & Elephant Casino. You can even pick the songs for them to lip-synch from the karaoke catalog. |
 | |
10 You'd think I was being paid, I'm showing so many pictures of this hotel. But alas, I have never even been in it during the 7 or so times I've been to Vegas. |
 | |
11 Tragically, a young British girl died in the Flamingo's pools while I was there... |
 | |
12 Reflections of me. Yes, you can see my hair, not storm clouds up in the top right. I cast a big shadow and carry a stick. |
 | |
13 The glamorous power lines that help the city of neon turn on the lights to begin with. |
 | |
14 That's the Eiffel Tower, part of the new Freedom Fry themed casino, or Paris Paris as the tourists like to mistakeningly call it. |
 | |
15 This picture makes that big, ol' expensive hotel look kind of like a bat with it's wings outstretched, ready to drink your blood... |
 | |
16 Sometimes I just like to walk and take pictures when it doesn't look like I am and when no one expects it. Of course, I never know what I am gonna get or how it'll turn out. Most didn't. Those are the Giorgio Armani mannequins as I walked by. |

17 Their faces have been blurred to protect their identities. (Or should that be just "identity" or perhaps they have multiple personalities. Both of them.) |
