The Cosmopolitan, Crystals, and Aria

26-Dec-2014 • Las Vegas, Nevada United States

The day Marc and I arrived in Vegas, I was floored by what I saw. We approached the Strip from the southern part of town and the developments were truly amazing. I love fancy places, and the City Center made up of the Cosmopolitan, Crystals, and Aria did not fail to impress.

This was the wallpaper used on some walls inside the Cosmopolitan's bars and lounges.

The sight of strands upon strands of glass beads from the ceiling all the way to the floor was just fabulous.

I hope the carpeting on the floor stays as clean and looking new for a long time.

Aria was another place I wanted to see. I had heard a lot about it from friends and family. This was really another mall filled with very high end stores and shops. Frankly the only thing that sets this mall apart from the rest is its newly built site. All the stores here can be found in practically every hotel and casino along the strip like the Wynn, Bellagio, The Venetian, and more.

The building's architecture however did not fail to impress.

An American Christmas is never complete without the Grinch. His statue here made entirely of sweets and chocolate was so beautiful.
