Travelling
Las Vegas
Many people think of Las Vegas and the images of the movies comes to mind: flashing lights, casinos, showgirls, etc. People think we all live in the hotels and gamble every day. But Las Vegas is a nice southwestern US city. The valley has much to offer, especially Henderson, which is the southestern part of the Las Vegas metro valley.We have Lake Mead and Lake Las Vegas for boating and water sports, Mount Charleston for hiking, camping and skiing. There is wonderful shopping and restaurants here. Nevada topography is very different from many parts of the world. Great sites abound, such as the Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon and more. It is a short drive to the west rim of the Grand Canyon and and even shorter driver to take a helicopter ride over it. Southern Utah has Mt. Zion and a wonderful ski resort.
Henderson has palm trees and parks and of course we have lots of sunshine. Not unusual to wear shorts in March and also in December. And while Las Vegas can be considered a dangerous city, Henderson was ranked as the second safest city in the US recently. And of course, we have the shows, the casinos, the events that everyone expects. I once heard it said that Las Vegas could be seen completely in a few days and little reason to return after the first trip. I have been here for 8 years now and have yet to see everything!
Arizona and Utah also have red mountains. They are the neighboring states to the north and south of Nevada. I think in Sedona, Arizona, it is even more striking and beautiful. And yes, we have a hot climate, which is one of the reasons I live here!

Узнала отель Bellagio Las Vegas))) Как я люблю его фонтаны!!! В последний вечер нашего путешествия мы были там))) И конечно вспоминаю Цирк дю Солей!!! Грандиозное зрелище.
Some of the photos I took and some were taken by my girlfriend when she was here with me. She is an excellent photographer.
The fountains are indeed spectacular. And they change them regularly to match new music and always have many classics as well. Which Cirque du Soleil show did you see, as there are many of them.

Steven, thank you for pictures. Las Vegas, Nevada, Sequoia Park - this is my dream! At the beginning of October, I'll be in New York. I do not know if I'll have the opportunity to see the western part of America. Near Almaty is a smaller version of the Grand Canyon - called Charyn canyon.
Beautiful pictures. This has some definite similarities to Nevada.
Sequoia park is in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but this is in California. It is approximately 5 hours by car from Las Vegas due to having to circle the mountain. I have never been there, but have passed near and have been to Death Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Я видела представление цирка "KA - Backstage". Очень понравилась сцена - трансформер, когда на ней работали акробаты и сыпались под сцену тонны песка))). Понравилось, что артисты работали и в зале, казалось, что зрители являются участниками шоу))). У артистов очень красочные костюмы))) Жаль, что нельзя делать фотографии во время шоу.
Ka is an amazing show. We went to see it in January. That is an amazing scene with the sand, and all are quite incredible.
Very sadly they had a fatal accident in June. Despite the dangerous acts they perform, this was the first tragedy in their 29-year history.

I have not visited Lake Powell as yet. Have been to Mount Zion and Brian Head ski resort in Utah, but Lake Powell is a bit of a drive from Las Vegas.
I visited practically all your west in several years journeys.
Goto Bedlands in South Dakota. They are incredible!
I remember Zion Park, beautiful
