Las Vegas. The city of excess. (II) Λας Βέγκας. Η πόλη της υπερβολής(II)

One can find a beautiful side of Las Vegas. And for me it is the side of the desert surrounding it. The beautiful, vast and clean Nevada desert. I tried to take some photographs from my hotel window before sunrise.
Μπορεί να βρεί κανείς την όμορφη πλευρά του Λας Βέγας. Εγώ την είδα στην έρημο που περιβάλλει την πόλη. Την όμορφη, ατελείωτη και καθαρή έρημο της Νεβάδα. Προσπάθησα να τραβήξω μερικές φωτογραφίες από το παράθυρο του ξενοδοχείου, πριν την Ανατολή του ήλιου.

Your photos of Vegas have captured it quite well, most definitely a city of excess and one I make every effort to avoid -- just not my kind of thing although I think it's good to see it once. But when you have compared it to the things of real worth, you do see what is so sadly lacking! Great lesson/reminder for all of us! Have a wonderful weekend, Costas!

I have to admit I do like the night life and glitz of Las Vegas but only for a very short time.
