Las Vegas Snow - December 2008



So it wasn't until my 17th trip to Las Vegas in December 2008 that I really noticed the nearby mountains. The Canon SX10 camera with 20x zoom is mainly responsible for that. I shot this photo the morning of December 16 from the window of my room on the 20th floor of Mandalay Bay. It had been snowing in the areas nearby Las Vegas at higher elevations but not right on Las Vegas Blvd. until the next day, when McCarran Airport was closed as flights were routed to Salt Lake City, Utah. Imagine getting on a flight for Las Vegas and being hijacked to Salt Lake City. Ugh. It's not quite the same.
