I feel like I am in the cartoon from space. Very neat image. I love the pale blue sky.

I knew that I had seen it before. Such incredible structures and architecture in Vegas. We visited Vegas a year ago November.

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
A very clean shot! But, the real question is, "Did you go on the roller-coaster on the top"? :0)

@Craig: NO, but we went go the free fall tower, that was mad, being so high up
MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
It's like Blade Runner or something! It's s great shot. Glad to see you living it up. (We stayed in a down-town seedy motel which was like something out of Starsky and Hutch!)

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
You have caught much of the essence of the place in this one . . I never quite know where ground level is !

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Vegas is such a fascinating place. I've never been...not really tempted though...not sure. Great image.

@Laurie: you would love it
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
Wow thats an incredible shot, great angle.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Beautiful shot with a perfect blue sky as the backdrop. One can never escape the "golden arches." :-) I love the speed limit sign on the rail.
An interesting place to spend the night. It seems like that would be a place where once your upstairs, you better hope that you'll be there for a while given how long I am assuming it may take to get up there with crowds and limited elevators.

@Steven: cheers Steven, not so much of a climb, were you stay is the place behind the tower
Lesley from Lincoln, United States
No offense to anyone who loves this town, but you can have it. I'll take Bryce Canyon any day! By the way, the shots of Bryce are fabulous! Sorry to be so late commenting. We were on a little road trip this past weekend.
