On our way to Las Vegas, we stopped at Hoover Dam. This is a picture of the back of the dam that creates Lake Mead. This dam was built between 1931 and 1935 and the electric created serves Las Vegas and beyond.
The bakc of the dam and a portion of Lake Mead.
The fron of the dam and the spillway.We did not take any pictures in Las Vegas, but we did go to the downtown area and visited theGolden Nugget, the Four Queensand Fitzgeralds. We also saw the laser light show. The next morning we walked the strip. It has changed from the last time we were there 20 years ago. Many new casino/hotels. We stayed at the Sahara which is one of the older and smaller hotel/casinos on the strip.
It did not take long to lose the money allotted for gambling so we quickly moved on to Oatman, AZ and Lake Havasu.
