Walk Around The World

Walk around the world in Las Vegas

- in the guide book it's said to take 2h,

but it took more than 5h

so not an easy task! 

 First destination: Egypt

at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard

and Hacienda Avenue

- the Luxor Hotel & Resort is pretty spectacular

- the main building is a 30-story high pyramid

built in 1993

 The entrance is guarded by an impressive

10-story high Great Sphinx

(the rail is for monorail, 

in case walking is not your thing,

take the monorail to the next hotel)

 A sandstone obelisk

 Pharao hounddog

 Inside is decorated with Egyptian-themed furnishing,

including statues, hieroglyphic-inscribed tapestry

and faux trees

Not seen so well in this pic 

but there's escalators just like in the airports

to take quickly to the next destination

Let's continue to New York!
