Like the resort town on Lake Como for which it is named, the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas has an atmosphere of easy sophistication and a lakeside feel, thanks to its famous water features and classic Italian styling. This AAA Five-Diamond luxury Las Vegas hotel on the southern half of The Strip has all the entertainment, nightlife and exciting gaming that visitors expect, as well as gourmet dining, exquisite art collections and a relaxing spa. Modeled after the classic resorts of northern Italy, the striking 36-story tower brings a touch of refinement to The Strip, attracting discerning leisure travelers and professionals alike looking to travel to Las Vegas hotels.
The grounds of this luxury resort in Las Vegas celebrates the beauty of nature with a meticulously maintained botanical garden with exotic flowers and lush plant life and the famous Bellagio Fountains, a breathtaking show of lights, music and choreographed aquatics. The environmental inspiration continues in the lobby, which is crowned by countless Technicolor glass flowers, which were handblown by artist Dale Chihuly. Vast archways line the reception area and decorative marble floors maintain the Italian aesthetic. Accommodations offer a more updated feel with refined furnishings and decor in an elegant neutral palette with rose or blue accents. Room sizes range from standard king and queen rooms and quintessential Las Vegas suites to enormous 4,075- to 8000-square-foot villas. Amenities include plush robes, fine linens, stocked mini bars, electronic draperies, flat-screen televisions and private workstations with high-speed Internet. Villas come with full-service bars, dry and steam saunas, personal workout rooms and private courtyards. Spacious bathrooms are done in Italian marble and have Roman soaking tubs and separate showers.
Partnering with celebrity chefs from around the world, including Michael Mina, Jean-Philippe Maury and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the Bellagio is home to some of the best Las Vegas restaurants, ranging from casual to fine dining. There are six fine dining establishments, including two AAA Five-Diamond restaurants: Picasso, which serves French and Spanish cuisine by master chef Julian Serrano, and Le Cirque, which features a signature menu of French specialties in a picturesque setting overlooking the waters of the replica Lago Di Como. Contemporary international cuisine is offered at five eclectic restaurants, including Sensi and Olives. For casual dining there is the Buffet Bellagio, Café Bellagio and the alfresco Pool Café; for a quick bite there are a number of smaller venues serving snacks and lighter fare.
Nightly entertainment at the Bellagio includes the Cirque du Soleil show O, performed nightly in a theater resembling a European opera house, as well as several bars, the Bank nightclub and lounges teeming with energy well into the morning hours. The large casino offers a sophisticated gaming experience during a Las Vegas vacation with all manner of slots, table games, cards and race and sport wagering. Club Privé, the exclusive high rollers lounge, has not only high-stakes gaming, but also a curated selection of upscale liquors.
The property boasts five pools and four whirlpools, and the Bellagio spa and salon can facilitate complete rejuvenation through massage, body treatments, facials, and couples manicures and pedicures done in private rooms or poolside cabanas. The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art has earned praise from visitors and critics alike for its exhibitions, which include the works of such masters as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Monet, Picasso and even the visual musings of comedian Steve Martin. There are two wedding chapels on site and a variety of high-end boutiques for shopping. Guests have access to golf courses nearby, including the world-famous Shadow Creek.

GROTTES DE LACAVE et Armand Viré, le film Un voyage hors du temps [EXTRAIT]
Le film ayant été auto-financé, vous pouvez faire un don paypal pour soutenir le film à ludovic-maury@orange.fr . A partir de 12€, vous recevrez le DVD officiel contenant quelques bonus (bien me préciser l'adresse de livraison sur paypal). DESCRIPTION DU FILM :
Un voyage hors du temps propose une réflexion sur les rapports symboliques que l'homme entretient avec les grottes depuis les temps préhistoriques.
Les grottes de Lacave furent découvertes en 1905 par Armand Viré, grand spéléologue et biospéléologue, ami d'Edouard Alfred Martel et de Louis Armand (découvreur de l'Aven Armand), avec qui il descendit dans de nombreuses cavités dont le gouffre de Padirac, les grottes de Bétharram ou encore celles de Dargilan. Méconnu du grand public, Armand Viré joua pourtant un rôle tout aussi important que Martel dans la reconnaissance du milieu souterrain.
Note du réalisateur : « Le documentaire Un voyage hors du temps nous propulse dans la peau d'Armand Viré, un des premiers spéléologues, le jour où il découvrit les grottes de Lacave. J'ai choisi une approche poétique et sensorielle du monde souterrain, comme si à la manière des grottes elles-mêmes, le film se donnait davantage à ressentir qu'à regarder. Il nous interroge sur notre rapport à la nature et sur notre conception du temps. La quête du monde souterrain, poursuivie par Armand Viré durant toute sa vie, apparaît alors comme un reflet d'une quête universelle, d'une aventure intérieure nous révélant toujours un peu plus à nous-même. »

Perrot State Park, Trempealeau, Wisconsin
Nicholas Perrot, a 17th century French Canadian fur trader spent the winter here in 1685. In 1731 Godefroy de Linctot built a fort at the mountain whose foot is bathed by water, sometimes written La Montagne Qui Trempe a Leau and now called Mount Trempealeau. Platform mounds associated with the Mississippian culture of Cahokia have been located in the nearby village of Trempealeau. Effigy and burial mounds of the Hopewell culture are also found in the Park. Today you can get excellent views of Mount Trempealeau and the Mississippi River Valley by climbing the trail to the top of the 520 ft. Brady's Bluff. Or canoe through the bottomland to see some of the thousands of birds that nest or pass through this magical terrain. There are 98 campsites in the park. The tent sites by the water have spectacular views of Mount Trempealeau. The Great River State Trail for bicycling can be accessed directly from the campground. Cyclists can then explore three other bicycle trails in this extensive trail system. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith.
