The story behind the image
In Las Vegas you will either stay all day at the pool and all night at the casinos and shows, or you roam along The Strip. We did exactly this and realized that the city is not really attractive during the daytime (so we spent our second day in Vegas at the pool.)
But in the late afternoon this outset dramatically changes. As soon as the sun goes down and its light gets more saturated, the miracle starts to happen. At least for us, that’s what happened. We walked along the Las Vegas Blvd., and experienced the super warm light of the setting sun as it hit the Paris Las Vegas hotel. The (smaller) replicas of the Eiffel Tower and the Academie Nationale de Musique in Paris, France, were just perfectly illuminated.
Nice.
