Las Vegas

Las Vegas what a great place to relax, have a gamble (which Craig and I totally forgot to do, don't know how when there are casino's galore), have a few beverages and most of all it's SO MUCH FUN (great place to go to for a boys or girls trip). I do not recommend ballerina jumps though :-).

some resort in the middle of no where, apparently it doesn't do so well...

The road to Hoover dam, the traffic was so banked up, we had never seen anything like it (it is hard to see in the photo though). They are building a new road and bridge (you will see below) to bypass Hoover Dam and hopefully this will help the traffic flow more quicker, the works are 2 years behind schedule.

Our pilot told us that the amount of concrete used for the dam wall could wrap around the world.....that's a lot of concrete...
