1. These are great, and capture some of the splendor of Vegas well.
I was there a few months back and took lots of pictures, enjoyed it, but mine were not clean and splendid like yours, they were full of people. I think the architecture on Las Vegas Boulevard is wonderful in spots, and you got a great sample going.
I especially like the ghosts shot.

2. Thanks Mira...
...there really is a lot of great architecture on the Strip. I took these pretty early in the morning -- not surprisingly, the Strip is not really a big early morning scene. :-)

I love the ghosts too -- I just happened to catch it at the right time, and I love that the people showed up only in the reflection. Also that it's only 3 people or so -- looks like a whole line of them.

5. Thanks Solly Mack...
...that tall blue building, one of my favorites, is slated to be demolished. Construction flaws meant the Harmon Tower was never used at all except as a big splashy billboard.

That's Vegas, baby!

4. WOW! This is definitely a Vegas
that I've never seen. I though Vegas was all "neon" and garish buildings! ;-)

My particular favorite is "Ghosts". Such a neat composition.

6. Well the Strip is pretty much still neon and garish buildings...
...but there are lots of great sights as well, including City Center (where all these shots are), the Bellagio, the Wynn, the Venetian and others. Also there's downtown, which is the old Las Vegas, which has a whole different sort of photographic appeal.
