Sin City has never looked so beautiful

Every city in the world looks different when it’s illuminated at night, apart from those Amish towns in Pennsylvania which we presume are just pitch black, but Las Vegas is a different proposition all together.

Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Vincent Laforet has turned his lens to Nevada’s most famous city by capturing its neon lit landscape from 10,800 feet in the air.

Speaking with Mashable he said, “”From that high, this one little strip of like, Eiffel Towers, it looks like a Monopoly board. It looks like a toy set. It’s a little strip of like, 20 or 40 hotels, you know? It’s a joke”

Take a look at some of these breathtaking images and you’ll know exactly what he means.
