When everyone thinks of Las Vegas they think of bright lights, casino’s, and tall buildings.
What they forget is that all that lights and action is in the middle of the desert and mountains.
I loved staring off at the mountains and we had a stunning view of them from our hotel room. Monday night I didn’t feel good and went back to the room for a small nap and shower and when I got up this was my view:
On our plane ride home we almost (literally) missed our plane. The lines were awful and we spent hours in them. Lucky for me so did the person who had the window seat next to me on the plane and missed their flight. I got to stare out the window the whole way home in awe. On the East Coast we have lots of green. Trees, ocean, and rivers. My views were of the Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountains. I loved all the pictures I took on my way home…can you believe almost as many as I took on my 6 day vacation!
I never knew just how beautiful the United States was in so many ways.

I love the pictures from the plane! Gorgeous shots!
Wow… those are great shots from an airplane. You are right, it is beautiful!
I just love Vegas – not just the city, but the surroundings. We were there the same time that you were – it’s so spectacular!
Aww! We shoulda got a drink!
I love Vegas! My Best friend is from out there so we get to visit alot. I love it! They have the LONGEST days out there and I love that, although I am usually exhausted when it’s time to come home!!
The plane shots are amazing. Sorry someone missed their flight, but I am glad you got the pictures.
OMG Jennifer, I’m so blind. I swore your title said “Nevada DeSSerts” and I’m sitting here scrolling through the pictures thinking “you tease, there’s no desserts here” LOL My brain needs a spell check.
Anyways, those pictures are awesome. I’ve never really felt the need to visit Nevada but after seeing these I really want to.
Those are gorgeous pics!!
Gorgeous! I’ve been to Vegas once and would love to go again sometime.
I love the airplane views!
It’s beautiful 🙂 I didn’t get to see out the window when we had a connecting flight in Vegas. Boo!
Dang, those are cool! Amazing!
And I finally realized that my link to you has your old blog name. Fixed now! And thanks for the heads up about the winter coat next week. There is just no escaping it! 🙂
WOW — those are amazing “from the plane” photos!
Very cool pictures!
Too cool!
Great pictures! There is definitely more to Vegas than just the strip!
Thanks for the linky!
Gorgeous views!!
Good ole Vegas!!! GREAT pictures!!
I miss VEGAS…I used to go three times a year before my grandmother passed away
Those are wonderful pics, it was beautiful.
The scenery is really nice. I’ll remember to give myself extra time at the airport if we finally manage to get to Las Vegas.
Me likey some Nevada deserts!! gosh, I miss Vegas. Last time I was there was just driving through. need to go back!
The last year that I lived in LV I lived just a block from the Strip (yeah, scary)- but the coolest thing was that when it was cloudy at night you could go outside at 2 am and it would be bright as day because of all the lights reflecting off the clouds. The desert may be a lot of brown from a distance, but up close there are actually a lot of colors and it’s gorgeous.
Very cool pics!
Awesome pictures. I love the ones that you took from the airplane. I really want Melinda and I to go to Vegas. i think we would have a blast.
Happy WW!
Wow…you really did have stunning views. Absolutely gorgeous!
Wow, how incredibly beautiful. I need to go to Vegas!
Great photos! Vegas is really lovely in the morning, as the sun comes up, and everyone is asleep. It seems so special when it’s quiet there!
I took that exact same plane ride on the way home from Vegas 2 weeks ago. I was in awe! Louisiana is flat, flat, flat!
Wow, those really are gorgeous shots!
Nevada truly is beautiful. We are blessed to be living in such a beautiful country. I loved your photos!
Oh what lovely views. I really miss seeing them. Thanks for the view again.
So beautiful, I’d love to go to Vegas!
That’s beautiful. I’m hoping to go there soon.
Fantastic pctures!
Those are amazing! I got a bit of vertigo (I’d be scared to fly over myself) but truly, our landscapes are really just amazing in this country.
Jennifer I just got back from Vegas and live in TN so the desert and mountains were AMAZING to me. GREAT pics!
Happy WW!
Kas
Amazing pictures! How high were you when this pictures were taken?
??? It was Delta from NV to CT. I have no clue how high they drive. Pretty though!
They are all gorgeous photos!
Fabulous photos. Glad you got to see the other places in the plane.
Oh my gosh, those pictures are INCREDIBLE!!
Beautiful pictures! I was in Vegas that same weekend, but I was there for a wedding, and WISHING I was at the ABC expo! It was a big wedding weekend though, tons of people were there! 10-10-10!
We had a wedding 10.10.10 in the Bellagio. I posted pics for that here:

Looks like you had a really nice time! I wasn’t expecting to open your WW and see what I see every day! Yes, I live in LV and no I don’t live in a hotel!! 🙂 (I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked that!!) Hope you had a wonderful time. You had some pretty nice weather!
Happy Wednesday!
