The Sin City From Air

Long time since I posted anything here... Actually had a very hectic last month of the year.. So first of all ... heres wishing u a Happy new year!

Recently saw some snaps of the sin city (Las Vegas) with the brightly lit Eiffel Tower restaurant .. that deceives u to thinking u were in the city of light (paris). I also remembered having seen a couple of posts on a friends' blog.. highlighting the fountains @ Bellagio and the interiors @ the Venitian... amazing city I thought.. but as I hovered over the city for some time .. thanks to a delay in landing the flight on time .. I got to see a different Vegas .. something that nobody else had shown me so far...

Barren mountains with no hint of life in the near vicinity

Makes you wonder if the earths gravity failed for a moment and the flight was attracted towards mars! :D


But then ... no alien would probably construct asphalted concrete roads in mars.. hmmm...


now! that seems like some remote human civilization .. or is it ?


and there we enter the city... have u ever seen a corner of any city ?? ah there!! I did...


and this was a more "rounded" border of LV


and for those of u who cant beleive its the same LV with the casinos herez the proof.. a strip of the "strip" of the sin city...

Personal experience says that the view is not that clear from a aeroplane window. Which was yours?? A340-Airbus??

The view was good as u can see.. clear window glass and clear skies :) Guess the flight was a Boeing 747.. am not sure though! it was a US airways flight from Philadelphia to LV.
