The Kerbers Viva Las Vegas

(Pics from our late June trip...)


Katie with a Blue Man after the show at the Luxor (all 3 Blue Men were greeting fans after the show)

Me with a different Blue Man. To sign autographs they just kissed whatever you gave them. And no, I am not drunk.

Katie with members of the band of the Blue Man Group. They always performed in the dark and looked like florescent skeletons.

Katie at a fountain outside the Flamingo hotel. Pink was a big thing there. Even the windows of the casino are tinted pink.

Me in front of a waterfall at the Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo.
This is the closest I ever come to not blinking in a pic.

Katie in front of the Eifel Tower near the Paris Casino.
You can see Bally's casino to her left.

Another shot of Paris Casino/Hotel. It supposedly costs $10
or so to take an elevator to the top of the Eifel Tower.

Katie in front of a fountain outside Paris. There were a ton of Greek/Roman style fountains all over the strip - especially at Caesar's Palace.

The ceiling of the lobby at the Bellagio.
It's adorned with hundreds of gigantic, blown-glass flowers.

The courtyard at the Bellagio contains thousands of fresh flowers and flower creations. Each season it changes. This was their summer display.

Another flower creation. The smell of the flowers was really amazing - hard to believe they can upkeep such a project.

Huck Finn and a dog taking a snooze in the courtyard. Yes, Huck's hat and the entire dog are created with flowers...

Tom Sawyer in the courtyard, hooking what I assume is a big one.
He actually swayed back and forth.

Also in the Bellagio courtyard, this mural can create a decent illusion if you put your hand just right. Katie's rose-filled dress was beautiful.

Upper shot from the Bellagio courtyard. The eagle is made of flowers of course (and sits perched on a huge recreation of the Liberty Bell.)

Katie in the courtyard where a "mini" water show also occurs every 5 minutes of so to a song.

Katie after dinner at Mandalay Bay. The elephant heads blowing water from their trunks was quite the unusual fountain.

Not sure what this bird was, but it was hanging out at the Wildlife Refuge at the Flamingo.


The actual flamingos at The Flamingo Hotel Wildlife Habitat. If you look at the two in the back you'll notice they're standing on only one leg.


A shot of the strip. You can see the Flamingo, Bally's and Treasure Island (on the far left). If it looks dark in this shot it's because a row of trees is just beyond the street lamps towards the bottom of this pic.


Shots of the water show at the Bellagio. It happens every 15 minutes at night, each time to a different song. I believe this shot was taken during Elton John's "Your Song."


Another shot of the water show. We were there 4th of July weekend so the next night every song played was patriotic.
