Photographer’s Note
When we went on our 2-week trip to the National Parks of Utah and Colorado our first stop was here in Las Vegas. We got lucky to get a room with a good view. So at early sunset took this photo behind a dirty window glazing. Despite the dirt on the window I was happy with the result.
On the left side is foreground is part of the Paris Hotel Building were we stayed. The hotel and casino sign is at center. The buildings under construction is a project the developers call the City Center. There was a glow of yellow light throughout. My gues is that the the lights bounced at the high rises that face each other at the "Strip".
This has been processed through an HDR program.

great pov and composition, i guess much has changed since i was there in 1980.*g* the colors and light are fantastic,
looks a little bit like HDR, love the dramatic sky. it seems there is still some heavy construction on its way.
well done & best wishes, thor.

Hi Andre,
Very impressive shot with amazing saturated colours and not a HDR. The composition is excellent with the vertical building on foreground. Very well done and good PP. TFS,
