Finding Fall - in Vegas?

So one of the best things about our trip to Vegas, is that the temperature was cool. This Houston heat does not play around. Like, we literally just opened our windows for the first time since April. No jokes.

But the thing is, apart from the cooler temperatures, you couldn't really tell that it was Autumn in Vegas. Because, there are only really palm trees - which obviously don't turn..

However, when we went exploring in Aria, a newer casino in the middle of the strip - we found fall. I guess they decided to bring Fall to the party people who never stepped outside. It sure was pretty.
