More From Las Vegas
So here's one of the shots that I took of the strip from the Voodoo Lounge on top of Rio last night. This picture can't do justice to how beautiful and amazing it was to see everything all around in every single direction all lit up. Not just the strip but streetlights and houses every which way that I turned went far into the distance. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.
In spite of the rain, we decided that we would head out to the Hoover Dam because Jim has always wanted to see it and it really wasn't too far of a drive to get there. Unfortunately I forgot to change lenses before I walked over the dam so I didn't have quite as wide of a shot as I would have liked so it's hard to show just how massive the dam actually is. It's incredible to think of how much work and how much mountain and earth was moved to create this dam. We didn't take the tour because we didn't have time but just walking around on top of the dam was quite a sight!
The ride to the Hoover Dam was pretty interesting too. Of course it would have been nicer if it wasn't raining but it was still pretty cool to see the desert and especially all the mountians. It's so different from the way it is in New Jersey that's for sure! There are some mountains out our way but not anything like these.
