Pair of Excalibur Hotel Las Vegas Keycards and Upcoming.

August 5th, 2010

This video shows that the security level in Excalibur hotel in Las Vegas is high as the guest elevators in both of the towers are guarded twenty four hours, and the signs on the security console show “Your Security is very important to us. Please show your room key.” Note: There is a thirteenth floor in this building and shadywood79. See elevator video for details

I might do this (depends if security allow this) as every time I walk to Costco there are security consoles too but you need to show membership card upon entering the warehouse store. I will be in Las Vegas from August 4-8 doing lots of Las Vegas elevators. Stay tuned for Las Vegas elevator videos.
To shadywood79: I will make videos for you.

Paris in Las Vegas (HD)

July 23rd, 2010

Posted by admin in ballys hotel las vegas | No Comments »

Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA. Its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a half scale, 541-foot-tall (164.6 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe, a replica of La Fontaine des Mers, and a 1,200-seat theatre called Le Théâtre des Arts. The front of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre. The Paris is linked via a promenade to its sister property, Bally’s Las Vegas, through which it is linked to the Las Vegas Monorail. A unique architectural aspect of Paris Las Vegas is that the back legs of its Eiffel Tower actually come down through the ceiling into the casino floor. In fact, it was planned to be full scale, but the airport was too close and the tower had to be shrunk.

Guest star Justin Cole speaks about 1980 MGM Grand Hotel & Casino fire on the Las Vegas Strip.

June 12th, 2010

Posted by admin in ballys hotel las vegas | No Comments »

Justin Cole (cousin of Aaron Auxier aka Ritz) guest stars on Sin City 90210 as he shares interesting information about the tragic fire at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in 1980. This video was shot as a school project for Justin’s college fire class in Los Angeles, California.

The fire at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino stands as the worst disaster in Nevada’s history and plays quite an important role on the current Las Vegas Strip high-rise market (including condo, condotel, timeshare, hotel, and casino). This is because the disaster was so devastating, Nevada soon became home to some of the world’s strictest fire codes (which has impacted construction costs ever since).

In another words, locals, as well as tourists, should be grateful for today’s modern properties such as Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Veer Towers, Caesar’s Palace, Paris, New York New York, Mandarin Oriental, Treasure Island, Luxor, Wynn, Encore, and many more.
