To add to the feeling of being under the skyline, you have street entertainers like the one pictured above. Along with the usual upscale shops, there are great restaurants and bistros, spas, and even a museum. Go down to the casino level and you will be blown away by the decor and excitement of the casino.
Th Grand Canal Shoppes along with much much more is located on Las Vegas Boulevard, otherwise known as ‘the strip’.
Gardens of Exposition Park
Exposition Park is located in an area of Los Angeles called University Park, which is directly across the street from University of Southern California. Surrounding the gardens of the park you have several museums. Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California Science Center, California African American Museum (CAAM), and IMAX Theatre at the Science Center. There is also the Memorial Coliseum and the Sports Arena.
After sleeping late this morning, my husband and I wanted to get out and got to the African American Museum. We both love art galleries and museums, and was looking forward to finally making this happen. The doors opened at 11am and we were there at 12noon. This was the first time either of us had been to Exposition Park, even though my husband had lived in Los Angeles many years ago.
These are some of the beautiful flowers that were in the rose garden other than the roses. It was quite beautiful and relaxing there, and it was also surprisingly clean. Exposition Park is located across the street from USC, the cross streets are Vermont Avenue and Exposition Bvd. This is the link to information on the park and all that it has to offer.
I am looking forward to going back to visit the history and science museums.
