Las Vegas Monorail, with the northeast end of the Las Vegas Strip in the background, as seen from a building on Paradise Road between Sands Avenue and Flamingo Road, facing north. This southbound train is traveling from the Convention Center Station to the Harrah's / The Quad Station. In other words, this is the section of the Monorail that turns west from Paradise Road (or turns north from Sands Avenue if you are on a northbound train). The blue building on left is Fontainebleau Resort Las Vegas (still under construction) and the white tower on right is Stratosphere Las Vegas, with Las Vegas Marriott and Turnberry Place residential towers in between (or in front of them). The snow on the mountains (the Sheep Range) was fresh, as it had been raining in the area the day before. Here is another picture (wider but not including the Monorail) taken from the same spot.
