The story behind the image

We 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. Sunset happened as we approached the Mandalay Bay Hotel, and zillions of tiny lights began to glow. We turned around to see the busy traffic on the Las Vegas Boulevard South in front of the New York, New York hotel. The sky was clear and dipped in blue, pink and purple colors.

What! A! Sight!
