"Big Things can happen in Las Vegas!"

Las Vegas is the largest city in the state of Nevada and located in Clark County in southern Nevada. It is also the 28th most populous city in the U.S.

Geographically, it sits in a basin within the Mojave Desert and as such the area surrounding Las Vegas is dominated by desert vegetation and it is surrounded by dry mountain ranges.

USA ~Las Vegas - The Historic neon signs ~

....Fantastic "glittery" postcard (doesn't show so good here) from gambling capital of the world...  the glow of the city is visible from space...from nephew Ben his third trip to Las Vegas... Thanks for thinking of me Ben! :D

With nice Earth Day 2014 Global Forever Stamp.


Las Vegas is famous for its creative and distinctive flashing lighted signs.

The signs of Las Vegas generally do not exist for very long. The city and the tastes of its residents move on and signs that look dated are replaced with newer, flashier designs.

 Nostalgic favorites such as the Hacienda Horse and Rider and the original sign for the Stardust have now been torn down. In 1996, the Las Vegas Neon Museum was opened to house these discarded signs.

 A three-acre lot known as "The Boneyard" serves as a final resting place for hundreds of signs that once lit up Vegas' Glitter Gulch.

USA ~Las Vegas~

Received a great card from Egypt today, the blue of the sea and sky are amazing. The Red Sea is one of the best places for diving!
And two cards and lovely magnets from my nephew who just came back from a trip to Las Vegas...


My nephew stayed in the Sahara hotel that's on the magnet.:-)

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise.The Venetian is a part of the largest five-star hotel and resort complex in the world with 8.108 hotel rooms and suites.
... The back of the card:It's as if they dropped the "real" Venice right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. This property is incredible.

The loop of the wild rollercoaster ride at the fabulous sahara hotel and casino. My nephew did take a ride in this amazing loop!
