How many of you expected me to come back from Vegas with shots filled with neon and slot machines?
And how many of you expected me to come back with exactly what you're seeing?
I definitely went the other direction with my camera and from my perspective I captured the softer side of Vegas. We stayed on the strip the entire time and surprisingly it's not all gambling, cigarettes, and sin....it's mostly those things, but not all.
This bright pink gate was in the conservatory/wildlife area of the Flamingo.
The Bellagio had the best non-Vegas features, such as this carousel.
And the art installations....oh my...gorgeous stuff! I'll share shots of those soon.
There was also a newer store on the strip called the Sugar Factory.
It was a mix of super pricey candy, sassy tee shirts, I think they might have even had a makeup counter?, and an attached restaurant.
{I could easily see a playboy bunny shopping there}
These are gorgeous and definitely not surprised :) I love them all!

ReplyDeleteLove the Bellagio, but I think I love your shot of the carousel more!
ReplyDeleteoh Katie these are wonderful and I love the blur and bokeh especially in the carousel.
ReplyDeleteThese are not the Vegas most people have pictured in their head. I love it! Thanks for the perspective. They are sweet shots!
ReplyDeletewow!! what beautiful pictures of vegas!! these are just stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you captured! Surely not Vegas! Such sweet tones.
ReplyDeletethis is a side of vegas i'd like to visit!
ReplyDeleteI love your perspective on Vegas. Funny, I work with a very christian man who recently went for a seminar and he said while Vegas has its sinful side, it also has a clean, fun, family side, too. You just have to seek that side out. Your pictures really are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was married in Vegas, and I love that you captured such a different side of than people normally think of. Wonderful shots.
ReplyDeletebeautiful side of Vegas! Like this side much better! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the carousel!
ReplyDeleteI have neer been to Vegas, as I didn't think I liked the vibe that was usually seen there. These make it much more palatable and a place I think I might be more comfortable visiting! Thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeletegreat shot! lollipops are the best!

Ok, so I love the way the light looks like it's dripping off of the carousel!!! Beautiful captures. The gate photo is my fave though. It looks like a secret passage or something. Very magical!
ReplyDeleteLove these. So pretty. You take AMAZING photos.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Sugar Factory when we were in Vegas in June. We got some ice cream from them...it was expensive but awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photo is the lollipops, but they are all awesome!
Beautiful indeed! Too funny about that Sugar Factory. Sounds like the perfect store to me. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I ever have the opportunity to go to Vegas, these are the kind of shots i want to come home with.... Beautiful!
