Viva Las Vegas!
My wife and I decided to escape the cold DC weather in favor of some warmer desert air and celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend in Vegas. Our trip started with a comical Southwest Airlines flight, whose flight crew kept calling our destination “Lost Wages.” We decided to stay at the new Aria hotel, part of Citycenter (which is LEED Gold certified – my wife made me add that!) and i have to say that I’m impressed! This hotel is totally swanky and the room alone is amazing. It’s a techies dream. All of the room features are operated by a smart touch screen control system – from the curtains to the temperature.
After checking out the room, we took a walk around the hotel and grabbed some delicious tapas at Julian Serrano, and checked out the new Crystals shopping mall – only half occupied but beautifully designed. Check out the cool stair case and the art installations.
I think the time difference is catching up with me, so i think it’s time for me to get some shuteye. By the way, all of the photos were captured with my two favorite Point-n-Shoot cameras, the Leica D-Lux 4 and the Olympus E-P2 (17mm F/2.8)
Pardon the digital noise in some of the images, the room is extremely dark and the cameras were working hard at ISO 2000 and up….
This charging center is built in to the hotel room desk and lets you charge any multimedia device and plug in anything to be projected on the flat screen TV.
