Las Vegas is everything that everyone has hyped it up to be. The place is Times Square on steroids and is just wild and is the epitome of sin and vanity. Although it would never in a million years be my kind of city, I can appreciate what it&#8217;s all about and temporarily fall in love with it.

The place is Times Square on steroids and is just wild and is the epitome of sin and vanity. Although it would never in a million years be my kind of city, I can appreciate what it&#8217;s all about and temporarily fall in love with it. My girlfriend and I covered a lot of ground, beyond the strip, for some great photography that I think will sell like hot cakes on <a href=\"http:\/\/charleneprecious.etsy.com\" target=\"_blank\">Etsy<\/a>. My cousin also drove up from Los Angeles and we cruised through the Arizona deserts together to see the Grand Canyon, which, by the way, is absolutely majestic. On the way back to Nevada, we caught the beautiful sunset, pulled over to the side of the open road and got a little photo-happy, so I&#8217;ll start you off with this photo of me, strolling (or pretending to) along the country road. That same night, when we got back into Vegas, I made it a point to drive back and forth through the strip and through Fremont Street (Old Vegas) and it had to have been the most exciting drive of my life.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best feelings in the world, for me, is coming home from a vacation and having thousands of photos to go through. You think you know how excited it makes me, but you have no idea. :)<\/p>\n<p>Sit tight! Tons of new photos coming.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/charleneprecious.com\/blog\/im-back-november-20-2011\/arizonaprofile\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9283\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/arizonaprofile.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"arizonaprofile\" width=\"540\" height=\"810\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9283\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/arizonaprofile.jpg 540w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/arizonaprofile-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>I&#039;m Back! - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/im-back-november-20-2011\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"I&#039;m Back! - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Las Vegas is everything that everyone has hyped it up to be.
