Very nice video, amazing.

[pixiedixie22]

Must say that I'm lovin' that "Donny and Marie Wall"!

[rexlv2000]

That's really cool, egh? The MGM and Mandalay Bay does the same thing every once in a while! One person lit up and covering the whole side of the building. :)

[ZipDrumBoogie]

Too bad the Stardust is no longer around - that was my fav sign! Loved hearing Elvis : )

[rexlv2000]

I do wish that I could have gotten my own video of the Stardust neon before they tore it down. Elvis fit right into this video!

[jbdale]

Another great video! I once stayed in The Flamingo, well near The Flamingo. Okay it was the Motel 6 behind the Flamingo, but it was on Flamingo Drive!

[rexlv2000]

Thanks for taking a look. I know the Motel 6 you are thinking of with 800 rooms.

An Elvis impersonator I once knew worked there in the housekeeping department cleaning rooms. He was friends with my girlfriend! Next I saw him he was singing at the Westward Ho! Small world! He was good!

[rexlv2000]

Thank you for that update Annet! All my little helpers!  I liked that family vid you made of the kids! Precious!

[ajdpadbury]

Rex, that was brilliant, I like the vlogging introduction too! Your camera takes great night time shots, is that your usual one? I hope my casio exilim will be as good, I need to test it out!:)

[rexlv2000]

I am glad you liked it Anthony. Same camera. I think your Casio can do the trick too! I keep hoping that you will scan over one of those palace guards that never winks! Showing his face from angles, etc. ( he would want to choke you ) Gulp! You and Dominika taking turns smiling at him. All those shots? Just a thought.

[ajdpadbury]

I can see the headline now "Palace Guard Goes Berserk and Machineguns "Annoying" Camera-toting Tourist!" I would rather let them be LOL!:)

[londonpenda]

Doesn't anyone sleep there.?

Colourful stuff Rex;)

[rexlv2000]

Answer: No!

No time for sleep! I make room anyway! I do enjoy sleeping when I get a chance. I guess you noticed that heavy traffic on LV Blvd for a Monday night.

[metalman111]

I live in Vegas. It sucks. Can't wait to leave this sewer and never come back.

[rexlv2000]

Thanks for the comment. I call that the ying and the yang. You have a very good point there!

[ew1951]

I had to give Bateman's comment a thumbs up, since I like honest expressions. I feel the same way, half the time...so this comment had me roaring with laughter for over 5 minutes.

I've been ying/yanging about this place since I first moved here. Maybe a vaction in

Santa Cruz could re-hydrate me and make me appreciate a 24 hour town.

[rexlv2000]

I know what you mean. Santa Cruz might help for a short period of time. You could get on their roller coaster and see if it breaks down! I would be doing my hanging at Carmel instead. ( Carmel by the Sea ) I feel much more comfortable in Carmel. Now that is laid back! Jags everywhere! My kind of place! :)

[rexlv2000]

Thanks Ray. I appreciate that! Your hint on cameras settings has helped a lot. You da man!

[johnnymoondog]

The Vegas tourist board oughtta pay you to do all these Virtual Vegas Tour videos !

[rexlv2000]

I would hate to become dependant on money! I am glad to do the videos for free! I have fun with it and if the viewers like it I like that too. I did Sam's Town last night. I am playing around with the editing now. Google Sam's Town LV. The place is big and there are not too many dull moments.

[johnnymoondog]

Thanks Rex !

I will google that as you suggested .

[ew1951]

These are really nice shots, pans and angles here Rex. That was smart of you to start at the back and work your way to the front and then all the way across the street for a full view of the building.

I didn't know they replaced the Toni Braxton sign with Donny & Marie. The Strip looks pretty crowded with lots of cars. I'm less than a mile away and haven't seen it in 3 months. So....your videos help keep me(somewhat)up to date. Please keep shooting these. I'm really behind the times. {>)

[rexlv2000]

I had the time and I was by myself. So it got done right! lol

Just kidding! You know LV so well that I will take that as a fine compliment. As you know we are going to be seeing a whole lot more of Marie Osmond. There might be some very big suprises too! I have not been keeping up with her lately though.

[PierceScan]

Great video max! and great great Elvis song choice!! Hope to see more Vegas vids. Rock on! -Louie-

[rexlv2000]

Thanks Louie. I bumped into a swarm of cops last night at Sam's Town! I did not ask what was going on but I did get video. Another day at the office. You would have loved it the way you keep up with cops. An ambulance was taking the culprit away! :)

[RoyceGrandeur]

good video 5*

[rexlv2000]

Thank you to my Hawaiian friend.

[chicken4114]

5*. elvis music is a great touch

[rexlv2000]

It sure did fit well on this video! Elvis had a lot of exclusive dealings with the Hilton chain.

[stumpie2]

hey rex, nice video, id sure hate to pay their light bills((smiles))

[rexlv2000]

If you were to see the light bill it would change your thoughts about life! How do people do it?

[YTOwl]

I really want to go to LV :) lol

[rexlv2000]

Hope you get a chance. It is a lot cheaper if you just watch the videos. But there is something for everybody! Everybody!

[badbearwatch]

Bravo! 3 more months and I will be there on the Strip myself-thanks for giving me some great ideas for camera angles ( to show off the neon downtown too). Thanks for sending this to me,and the warning about gambling -'Heartbreak Hotel' lol.

[rexlv2000]

I know you will be having a good time. When you make your videos you can send one to me too.

[wyllieohagan]

Thanks for the glitz fix there Rex.

[rexlv2000]

Oh thank you. It will give your eyes a good workout! Very stimulating... \Smiles

[marcmickey]

[rexlv2000]
