Las Vegas, Nevada ....75F...10:30pm.....pst

Hi everyone, We drove through Hoover Dam what an awesome experience the size is incredible. Just to see the amount of water it is holding back, amazing. There was of course homeland security check 9 miles prior to getting to the dam. The wait was not to bad and they did not search the bus just came into the bus looked around and then let us go. After hoover dam we headed to Las Vegas. There was an R.V. park at Circus Circus so we are going to spend a few days there.We decided to walk Las Vegas Blvd.We started on the south side where the Stratosphere is the high Needle like Toronto we went to the top what an amazing experience looking down over Las Vegas . Then we went up further up to the lounge and had a drink they were 10 dollars a drink we both had a different kind of Martini. It was starting to get dark and we watched the sunset an when all the lights came on it was incredible from being so high up.Sunday we left at 11:30 in the morning and did 10.62 miles, by the time we got back it was 9:30 in the evening we went into every hotel and casino on the strip. We watched the water show the pirate ship sinking, went on the monorail, had lunch and dinner in really neat restaurants. Buy the time we got back our feet were so sore.And of course the puppy's needed to get out. They were very comfortable with the air conditioning on water and food. These pictures will just give you an idea of some of the places.
Hi Colleen our ears did pop a little being 7000 feet up in the mountains We are kind of on our way home. Still so nice and warm here.
Nina one day you have to make this trip to see how beautiful all these places are.
