Vegas' life
That night we (Drena, Vanessa and I, with Leonid) ate at the swank Bellagio's Japanese restaurant with Udi from Israel; he runs a B2B diamond web portal that lists a good % of the worlds polished diamonds. The bar area of the restaurant has 3 fish tanks with UV fluorescent Jelly Fish flapping about – really cool.

After dinner we sat on the balcony watching the enormous water canon fountains that dance to music, with the 1/3rd scale Eiffel Tower in the distance across the strip.

Here are a couple of shots in a bar with some notorious dudes, John and Jonathon ('my camera's bigger'an yours') and Lieve's unbelievable vivid yellow Rock that really is 'unbelievable'.

The next 5 shots were taken in the old original Vegas area before the action moved a few miles away to 'the strip'. The group shot from left to right: Vanessa, Deborah (Peter's fiancée), (Drena hiding), Lieve, Paul, Moi and Peter Y. After dinner we went 'outside' into a covered Mall, about 500 yards long. The ceiling was an LED array that very ½ hour has a 'show'. We saw racing cars dragging up and down the 'strip' with crowds either side – it was quite amazing.
