Level 2

The Venetian - lower levels (floors 2, 3, and 4 where the audio was) after hours...

The Venetian - one of the tributaries (or one of the branches, depending on how you look at it) of the main halls above on the lower levels. This was during the show... these levels are not as busy as the tower, and various brnaches, those that had more rooms with exhibits, and those closer to the escalators, did better than others.

The chandelier in the EAR room. And look at those soffits. Every room on the lower floors looked like this. Certainly a high-falutin environment for an audio show.

The Venetian at night in Las Vegas.

Palm tree. Trolley. Barbed wire. Show attendee using a cell phone. Dazzlingly lit hotel. Yep. Las Vegas.

There is a lot of construction going on, which is slowing down traffic and creating traffic jams in and around the convention center. Sometimes it is faster to *walk* the 35-40 minutes to / from the Venetian to the St. Tropez.
