Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam

I had to start heading back to the Phoenix area due to time and my flight kicks out on Saturday early.  Time to wind down this trip with a few final destinations.  So Vegas here I come! 

It was a toss up between the Venetian and the Wynn.  This hotel was nice but if I ever come back it's the Wynn all the way. 

You would think I would head on down to the casino and try my luck, however I'm headed out to look at the pretty lights and them back to this amazing room to bath, veg, and sleep.  Tired, tired, tired. 

Peace people! Now let's go see what all the fuss is about...

It was kinda cool seeing the kiss guy.  He walked really slow like he was on the moon.  People seemed happy to make his acquaintance.  I learned very quickly how fast these little old ladies can move in Vegas. So funny. 

I just thought this was a cool thing. Glowy eyes and all! Ha! 

The ugly truth about Vegas.  I try to keep the vibe high but I just kept thinking..."not my daughters!"  Then there are these people handing out sex cards.  I'm just over here like, "Lord, I'm just here for one night so if you smite this city let me out first!" Seriously. 

Vegas is no respect or of gender.  Whatever your flavor is, it's all here...  At this point I'm just trying to have a sense of humor. La la la

Time to see something pretty so you can get your mind off the dark side of Vegas. 

See this tired girl?  Time to put my Vegas hiney to bed soon.  

Just like that I'm back in my room and loving every minute of this awesome bath.  I could swear they were pumping perfume smells out of the gutters onto people. 

See ya later Vegas!  Next time I visit I hope to see some shows in the theater and not the ones on the street, lol.  All in all I think Vegas can be a fun place if your here with friends and see the cool shows they offer. 

I'm on the car now heading back to Phoenix.  I had to stop and take this pic of Lake Mead.  So breath-taking.  Next stop, THE HOOVER DAM. 

Almost there! 

If you come here it's a very visited site. I saw people here from all over the world.  Helicopter rides, drones flying around the dam and you can even grab a bite to eat here. 

I love the symbolism of the angels on guard here.  You just wouldn't imagine how angels have stood guard in so many unusual places through out history.  So when I see them on public places it makes me smile. 

Here's the Hoover Dam, known in the beginning as the Boulder Dam.  There were over 100 men that died building this Dam.  They have a memorial in honor of them here as well.  

This dam is the 18th largest dam in the world and it took 21,000 people to build it. So it really is worth a look if your passing through this area. 

Ok you crazy kids.  Time to get back on the road and make good time to flagstaff before nights end.  Stay tuned tomorrow as I will blog about Flagstaff and Sedonna.    Xoxo love y'all!
