The story behind the image

We had arrived on a Saturday in Las Vegas. In the late afternoon we started to explore the famous Las Vegas Strip with its countless hotels, casinos and restaurants. We slowly made our way to the Mandalay Bay Hotel, and at sunset, zillions of tiny lights began to glow. On our way back, the night completely took over, and I captured the busy traffic in front of the Paris Las Vegas hotel in a long exposure.

While Las Vegas does not belong to my preferred destinations in the world, I like the dynamic and vibrance of the city, especially at night.
