McCarran International Airport

"Las Vegas”源自西班牙語，意思為“肥沃的青草地”，內(nèi)華達州發(fā)現(xiàn)金銀礦后，大量淘金者涌入，拉斯維加斯開始繁榮。1931年在美國大蕭條時期，為了度過經(jīng)濟難關，內(nèi)華達州議會通過了賭博合法的議案，拉斯維加斯成為一個賭城，從此迅速崛起。以賭博業(yè)為中心的龐大的旅游、購物、度假產(chǎn)業(yè)而著名，已成為是世界知名的度假圣地之一。讓我們跟隨小異的腳步以“一日游”的方式玩轉拉斯維加斯吧！喜歡旅游的童鞋趕緊關注滬江部落紅人小異（戳我加關注）哈！拉斯維加斯——夜晚篇，稍后也會以日志的方式發(fā)布出來~

[1] 麥卡倫國際機場旁邊的這個標志算作一個landmark: Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas.
透過標牌看到的金碧輝煌的建筑和大片棕櫚，也算是LV的標志風物了。（說到麥卡倫機場，也是美國最繁忙的國際機場之一：每天超過850次航班, 每個月為賭城帶來250萬的訪客）

McCarran International Airport is the principal commercial airport serving Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada, United States. Maximum capacity for the airport is estimated at 53 million passengers and 625,000 aircraft movements.

Theme Hotel

[2] 很多大型酒店和賭場都有自己的主題。以地域為主題的酒店通常將各地的地標建筑造在了這里。金字塔是永恒之光的象征, 法老王相信它是升天的途徑。整個金字塔外觀全部都是用玻璃覆蓋，面積有13英畝。飯店前的人面獅身像比埃及的還要大，也如法泡制在其左前爪有開口，日落后會從雙眼射出雷射光, 再映至噴水池造成的水幕上, 造成各種視覺效果。

The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos and the hotels. There are many hotel casinos in the city's downtown area, which was the focal point of the city's gaming industry in its early days.

Hard Rock Cafe

[3] 以搖滾為主題的酒店。房間設計師是華人Calvin Tsao，里面有大量搖滾樂隊藏品。賭場不大但風格亦是搖滾風味十足：輪盤是崁在鋼琴形狀的桌上。吃角子老虎的把手是吉他頸部的造型。到處都有喇叭放送搖滾樂，樂迷到此報到，定有意外發(fā)現(xiàn)（Cafe不一定指咖啡廳，往往只是說明24小時營業(yè)）。

Hard Rock Cafe is a chain of theme restaurants founded in 1971 by Americans Peter Morton & Isaac Tigrett. In 1979, the cafe began covering its walls with rock and roll memorabilia, a tradition which expanded to others in the chain.

Petit Paris.

[4] 將巴黎鐵塔縮小一半復制, 還是有50層樓高。另有巴黎歌劇院, 羅浮宮, 塞那河, 而壯麗的亞力山大橋則橫跨購物區(qū)上空, 將游客領至登上鐵塔的電梯. 凱旋門則是真跡的3分之2大小。

The tolerance of Las Vegas for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs.

Lake

[5] 小巴黎對面是百樂宮，高莫湖的水舞燈秀投資四千萬美元，包括容量五十萬加侖的水箱, 1175個噴水孔, 6200個燈光設備. 采用的音樂有Rondine Al Nido, Luck Be a Lady，Singing in the Rain，Time to say goodbye等等。入夜后每半小時演出，路邊免費參觀。

Bellagio called also "the pearl of Lake Como" was already famous in Roman times. Its beautiful and strategically important position has written its history.

Bellagio

[6] Bellagio 百樂宮，前老板Steve Wynn是個傳奇人物。而且姓氏在LV顯得尤為好，諧音win，中文穩(wěn)贏，呵呵開玩笑，他自己的官方翻譯是“永利”。

Inspired by the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy, Bellagio is famed for its elegance. One of its most notable features is an 8-acre (3.2 ha) lake between the building and the Strip, which houses the Fountains of Bellagio, a large dancing water fountain synchronized to music.

Inside Bellagio

[7]室內(nèi)雕塑，貌似是植物做的，手里拿的是魚竿。據(jù)說整個酒店的設計靈感來源于意大利貝拉焦的科木湖渡假村。

The Bellagio employs approximately 10,000 people. In the fall of 2006, the casino floor was remodeled and new uniforms were issued, changing the original color scheme to a more elegant type.

Las Vegas Boulevard

[8]拉斯維加斯林蔭大道(Las Vegas Boulevard，也叫The Strip)是拉斯維加斯的主要街道。這是一條從東北到西南走向的街道。街道兩邊酒店、商店、購物中心相互毗鄰，延延綿綿，占據(jù)了街道4公里長的主要路段。我們就住在這里。

Las Vegas Boulevard is a major road in Las Vegas Valley of Nevada, best known for the Las Vegas Strip and its casinos.

Venetian

[9] Venetian是The Strip上的另一個豪華酒店，從名字就可以看出是仿照威尼斯的設計。原來是沙丘飯店Sands,于1996年11月26日炸毀后在原址起建，由 Sands原來老板Sheldon Adelson投資。以意大利最浪漫的城市威尼斯為主題，也不忘用奢華的古典歐風來打造大廳。

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a luxury hotel and casino resort situated between Harrah's and The Palazzo on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, NV, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel.

Canaletto

[10] Venetian內(nèi)的Canaletto餐廳，由威尼斯來的主廚掌勺。裝潢得很威尼斯化，連燈具也是威尼斯名水晶工廠制作的。分成三區(qū)：樓上、樓下、及" 戶外"。有比較少見的北意大利產(chǎn)的酒供應。據(jù)說其實意大利的酒品質非常好，只是法國酒早出道于國際市場，用聰明的廣告穩(wěn)霸市場而已。p.s. 由于是室內(nèi)，所以那是人造天空，但云彩也會變幻。

The Venetian is (along with the adjacent Sands Expo Convention Center and The Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort) part of the largest five-diamond hotel and resort complex in the world.
