Bonus Post: The Magic of Orlando Found In Vegas!



I left my beautiful Orlando area to visit Vegas. I flew in last night and was out and exploring Vegas at about 11 PM! The first thing I noticed was that Vegas is grand (and shiny) they spare almost no details here. Sound familiar? The attention to detail really gateway-ed me into noticing that some of these sights remind me of things I've seen already at Orlando Theme Parks! 



Stay Tuned on this post to join me on my journey to finding Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld here in Vegas!




These guys found at the Bellagio's Botanical Gardens area remind me loosely of both Grandmother Willow from Pocahantas as well as the interesting creatures found on E.T's ride at Universal Stuidos!


This one may be a little obvious but I'll say it anyway! France Pavillion in EPCOT! Although this is an amazing landmark in France is it sad that my first thought went straight to the France Pavillion as opposed to the Eiffel Tower in actual France?! 


This coaster in the skyline at New York New York reminds me fondly of Rock-it at Universal Studios! 



This pub called the Nine Fine Irishmen reminds me of the pub called Finnegans in Universal Studios and a little of the Rose and Crown pub in EPCOT!


This landscape shot is reminiscent of Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom!



These pictures of the Luxor are definitely reminding me of The Mummy ride in Universal Studios!



These pictures from the Excaliber look like they belong in the old Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom!


Like in Peter Pan the movie! Must I say more!


Of course this resembles the many amazing aquariums that you can see at SeaWorld! This can be found at the Golden Nugget on Fremont street.


Here at the Four Queens on Fremont street I am enjoying a beer sampler that reminds me ever so fondly of having a beer flight/sampler at Big River at Disneys Boardwalk!





All these lights here on Fremont street are amazing and mesmerizing just like those of the Electric Light Parade at the Magic Kingdom. They truly are amazing and do catch you attention just like the parade does!




Visiting the Hofbrauhaus reminded me of going to the Biergarten in the Germany Pavillion at EPCOT's world showcase. Completed with a 1 liter (34 oz) Bier!


These busts in the pub at New York New York called the Nine Fine Irishmen look eerily similar to the ones in the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom! Note: they do not sing catchy tunes though... Sad face.


This character a cirque du soleil resembles Malificent from Sleeping Beauty!


This statue of Poseidon reminds me of the many many times I dragged my family through the Poseidon's Fury show at Islands of Adventure! Statue can be found in Vegas in Cesars Palace.


I can't look at a Pegasus without thinking of Hercules' best friend and quite possibly the CUTEST Disney baby ever! This statie can be found in Vegas at Cesars Palace.
 


In Cesars Palace you will find an aquarium. In the aquarium you will see this Guitar Fish that reminds me of the Guitar Fish you can find in the aquarium at Manta in SeaWorld Orlando!



These are the pictures from the show Le Reve that I saw with my Mom at the Wynn hotel and casino. This acrobatics show reminds me of both Odyssea (which used to play at SeaWorld) and Allure; The Call of the Ocean (which still plays in  SeaWorld Orlando).

  
Also at the Wynn hotel and casino you will find some kind of Topiaries and Gardens. The ones featured during my visit has the Bauble made up entirely of flowers! I must say it made me wish it was Flower Festival time at EPCOT!


This picture of the facade of the Venetian reminds me of sitting outside in Italy during food and wine at Epcot sipping some wine and watching the people pass.



Here at The Flamingo hotel and casino you will find a gardens that features lots of different types of birds. Obviously there are Flamingos at the Flamingo but it also features lots of other birds such as this Black Swan. Watching the Flamingos and Black Swan swim around reminds me of watching the Flamingos and other birds at SeaWorld in Orlando.


At Treasure Island hotel and casino there is a bar that serves Alaskan beer. I was so excited to see what I am calling "Shamu Beer" but what is really called Alaskan Summer Ale. The beer wasn't very good but I loved the Orca!

I hope you enjoyed this journey through Vegas with me! I certainly loved walking through Vegas finding all these amazing sights and more! Have you seen anything that reminds you of an Orlando Theme park while vacationing somewhere else? Share in the comments!
