Description
This is actually a re-post. I used this image in a collage almost two years ago but in sorting through my files I saw it again and decided it deserved its own post.
This was taken from the 52nd floor of the Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas - I happened to be there through a fortunate circumstance - I'd received an email from Vdara offering some pretty nice rates and decided to take them up on the offer.
When I checked in the desk clerk told me I'd been upgraded to a nicer room. So far so good. But . . .
when I got to the room - which was spectacular inside - I found the view was terrible - bare concrete, parking structures and a view of the hotel's delivery dock. The front desk said there were no more rooms of that class available but if I was willing to downgrade he could put me on a higher floor with a better view.
This was the result - a large, comfortable room on the 52nd floor with a view that went on for miles: Bellagio's fountains, the Flamingo, Bally's and Paris casinos and lights to the horizon. Sometimes you get lucky!
enjoy
PS: I forgot to mention that I'd just got settled into this room when I got a call from the hotel manager apologizing for me having to take the downgrade and comping me a appetizer at the bar in the lobby.

Spectacular views indeed - it pays to persevere! I usually say: 'the squeaky wheel gets the oil' - and how lucky was that for you ? and not to forget the great service you received! - no doubt, you will always remember it and be back one day and that is precisely what they want you to do ... 1 happy customer = 2 new customers! breathtaking image, BB

Quite the view I would also be quite sick since I am afraid of heights not too bad inside a closed room like that I love that view and the pretty lights.........I will never get there but I can through your wonderful pics........... Also see that Donny and Marie are somewhere on stage there..........Would also like to see them too..........she acts so down to earth on talk shows...... Thanks for sharing this very pretty colorful image I love it Hugs Susan~

Beautiful! You definitely made the smarter trade. A good room with a spectacular view beats a spectacular room with a lousy view any day. A great example of the results of asking nicely and people's general inclination to help if they can. How funny that they compensated you for their calculation that you had taken a downgrade. Superb capture! Wonderful detail of the lights going off to the horizon and all the excitement of a Los Vegas night. Beautiful colors, lights, and contrasts.

I love the night view of Vegas and go up to tower each time.luckily you were in a room that was not swaying in the wind.I never noticed how much the Stratosphere moves in a strong wind until I tried to shoot night shots
