Lake Tahoe travel pictures

Thumbnail of tour boat at Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. We finally got to visit Lake Tahoe, California. Both my wife and I were dreaming about being able to visit Lake Tahoe for a long long time. With a toddler and a newborn we kept thinking that it will be a while before we could enjoy some time at Lake Tahoe. However, in the middle of September, we attended a wedding for some good friends of ours in Sacramento and then we decided to go visit Lake Tahoe since it’s only one hour away from Sacramento. It was well worth the effort. There is a lot to write about Lake Tahoe, but for now enjoy only the Lake Tahoe photo galleries.

The Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas, Nevada - The Strip thumbnail. This is the last gallery from Las Vegas, Nevada. These are shots taken from the strip and…of the strip itself. I thought that it’s great to have a few pictures just of the strip in Las Vegas, because at night it becomes spectacular indeed! I have included some pictures taken by my brother…his pictures are actually much better than mine. See more pictures from the Las Vegas Strip. Also read my Las Vegas family travel destination guide.

The Wynn and Encore in Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas, Nevada - The Wynn chandelier thumbnail. Supposedly, the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada is only for the rich. It definitely looks like it even if we only judge by the Ferarri and Maserati dealers that are on site. Too bad you don’t get to just walk in the showroom. I guess they’re afraid that regular people like us would leave their fingerprints on the cars. They look cool no matter what…even if only seen through the window. The hotel and casino don’t look very impressive from the inside…except for the shopping galleries. Beware, strollers with small children are not allowed inside the Wynn…I thought that was plain terrible…but oh well, what can I do? See more pictures from The Wynn in Las Vegas.

The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas, Nevada - Venetian thumbnail. Venetian is another European copy…scaled down a little obviously. Yes, it has the gondolas, with Italian singers and all…I’m still not sure if the songs are taped (they look and sound very real), but it is copied nevertheless. It’s ok though, ’cause you only drive a few hundred miles from Los Angeles and you get to see Venice…or something pretty close to it. See more pictures from The Venetian in Las Vegas.
