Las Vegas at night
During the last week, we visited several Las Vegas areas at dusk and at night. There are so many lights here! And I wanted to take some pictures of night time Las Vegas. Below are pictures taken on Fremont Street (downtown Las Vegas) as well as the always busy Strip.

Clever images on the ceiling
And, a variety of colors
Valley of Fire, Nevada
The Valley of Fire is located less than an hour north of Las Vegas, close to Lake Mead. It gets its name from the bright red rock formations, but also because it gets to be over 120F (50C) in the summer.
One area is known as “Mouse Tank” and contains a valley filled with Indian petroglyphs. Even though time is starting to erode them, it is still possible to make out the huge amount of indian art.
But there is more to it. There are many geologic formations of different colors and different shapes, giving an erie effect to the landscape. Perfect for hiking, and photography.
Very sandy in many places.

Baby arches (?)
“Fire Wave” – unique formations
