I love the colors and the composition of the Ceasar's Palace photo. My first thought was that it would have been nicer without the Ceasar's Palace logo-but then I thought it was kind of an interesting juxtaposition of the classically beautiful with what many would consider the trashy neo-modernism that Vegas and Ceasar's Palace represent. So I could go either way on that issue. Maybe you could crop it to see if you could pull the statue more into the forefront of the frame-enlarging it (and straightening it)- while getting rid of the logo. Look at it both ways and see which way you prefer it.
I like the blurry, dreamy quality of this photo (Ceasar's Palace) and I think it fits the subject, but I think it'd be more effective if it was just a little less blurry. As it is right now, it doesn't look as if this effect was intentional-it looks out of focus, and so for me, that quality becomes distracting in a noncomplimentary way- although not overwhelmingly so.
The orchid is pretty too-beautiful colors.
