More Vegas

Well my Aunt Barbie and I took a tour out to Hoover Dam the third day of our trip. We rode on a charter bus and got to go down into the powerplant area and walk all around the Dam. It was a really neat thing to see, and it's amazing how big it is and how it was made so long ago. Lake Mead is really pretty to see too, even though it's really low from all the years of drought. We also saw M&M's World, which is soooo neat! The last night we went to Fremont Street downtown to see the light show and all and it was a neat little place, but kinda in a ghetto part of town. I had a great time seeing Vegas and would definitely like to visit again someday!

At the Mirage Hotel, they had the most beautiful flowers

At the very top you can see the huge suspension bridge they are building over the Dam area
