Bridge to New York-New York – Las Vegas, Nevada

After passing through the Excalibur Hotel, I continue north, crossing a bridge over Tropicana Avenue.

I like this view with the glowing bridge and the next hotel in the distance, New York-New York. As the name suggests, the hotel takes on a New York City theme, with the main building looking like a cluster of famous skyscrapers. The glowing greenish sculpture on the right is the Statue of Liberty, standing next to Ellis Island. The landmarks are not to scale or positioned properly to mimic Manhattan fully. Still, I like the design, one of my favorites. The curvy red structure is a rollercoaster that travels around the periphery and even briefly runs through the inside of the hotel.

You can see I used a slow shutter again. Not only does it improve the image quality, but it creates a motion blur that adds dynamism to the image.
