More Impressions on Viva Las Vegas

My enjoyment of Las Vegas I think really dates back many years, to growing up and day dreaming about Las Vegas, having seen it in Rat Pack specials on T.V. where it is shown as a glamorous place filled with energy; filled with life. There was always a sense in my mind that Las Vegas had stories to tell and I was struck by the beauty of the city—not just by the energy and the night life, but actually by the desert panorama.

I had the chance to drive down out of the mountains one night and coming into the vast desert below and seeing Las Vegas unveiled as though from behind a theater curtain. The sky just seems bigger and the lights seem that much more intense, because they’re in contrast to this vast open plain in the desert.
