Las Vegas at Night
Vegas lights up the night like no other city in the world—in fact, as seen from space, it is the brightest metropolitan area on Earth! From the flashing signs on the Strip to the Hoover Dam and placid Lake Mead, experience “the entertainment capital of the world” through incredible terrestrial and aerial photographs in Las Vegas at Night. Watch your favorite casinos glimmer against the night sky, including the exotic Luxor pyramid and sphinx, Bellagio’s beautiful fountains, the dramatic Mirage volcano, stately Caesar’s Palace, and the enormous MGM Grand (all two city blocks of it!). View Las Vegas from every angle. Spectacular helicopter shots show the flashing casinos as well as the jet black desert that surrounds the city. The excitement of the city’s nightlife is alluring, but watch the serene shimmer of houseboats floating atop Lake Mead and you may decide to spend some time relaxing on the water. Fly around the Hoover Dam, impressive in its size and scope during the day, but wondrously illuminated at night. A perfect souvenir for travelers and locals alike, Las Vegas at Night captures the heart of the city’s glamour as well as its culture and natural beauty.
