Vegas and Beyond!

I'm a slacker! I took these photos in late January and early February and I'm just now getting them up. Anyhow... enjoy!





On the way to Vegas from Orange, CA there are a few random things like:
A GIANT thermometer!


and


A road with a name that has too many 'Z's





Then once you reach the Nevada Border you start to see casinos pop everywhere. You can even gamble at the gas station. It's much like the state of Victoria in Australia. Haha... (long story).

The Nevada border.

Just a few hours later (it seems like), and you hit Vegas and Las Vegas Boulevard!

The Vegas Strip is on this street!

The Strip during the day.

Large M&Ms on the strip.

Art at the Bellagio.

Then I ended the day with a huge piece of chocolate cake at the Rainforest Cafe.




DAY TWO

The Hoover Dam! Where I took DAM pictures! I love it!

At the Hoover Dam they're building a freakin' HUGE bridge. It's a sight to see in itself!

The plans for the Bridge.

The beginning of a bridge.

And then there's the Hoover Dam. One cool place I tell ya.







A power generator in the Hoover Dam. HUGE!! (Since you can't really tell from the picture.)

Inside the Hoover Dam.

View of the Colorado River from a vent in the dam.


DAY THREE

Mostly we wandered around Vegas. It's really something you have to see for yourself. We didn't take many pictures, but we thought this slot machine was pretty good.




DAY FOUR

The flight over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon was AWESOME!!



The Hoover Dam from the air!

Then there was the Grand Canyon. The south rim.






















All in all it was a great trip!
