Thursday Challenge - Communication

Communication -  (Talking,  Sign Language,  Telephone,  Technology ...)
 is the topic this week at Thursday Challenge

I don't know why Dolphins kept "communicating" with me so I dug out some of my Dolphin pics from my Las Vegas trip some years ago.

Here are the Dolphins at the Mirage communicating with their trainers:

The Mirage, Las Vegas

The Mirage was our hotel in Las Vegas. It is a beautiful hotel.

Lots of things to do at the Mirage (other than the casino) - the tigers, the secret garden, the dolphins, the volcano.

Here are some pics of the Mirage

Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

The Caesars Palace is named after the Roman General Julius Caesar to evoke thoughts of royalty.

It's a grand hotel. The ceiling simulates the sky - an interesting feature.

Bellagio, Las Vegas

The Bellagio is based on the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy.

The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the ceiling was quite amazing.

And the fountains set to music were so much fun to watch. The day we were there, they danced to "Hey Big Spender".

Here are some of my pics.

Luxor, Las Vegas

Las Vegas is such a fun city. Over the next few days I'll post some of my pics from Las Vegas.

And I'll start with The Luxor.

It's the closest I've been to the pyramids. (The real thing is of course on my places to see list).

The Luxor looks pretty grand from the outside but the inside is quite eerie.

An interesting fact about the Luxor (taken from wikipedia): The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed position spotlight that points directly upward and is claimed to be the brightest beam in the world.

Here are some pics

Two States in One

Here is the Nevada - Arizona border at the Hoover Dam.





And here is a pic taken form both states simultaneously. That was pretty cool.
