This morning we did the Hoover Dam Crawl. At about 4 miles from the Dam, traffic slowed to a 5mph crawl (at least it was scenic). When we finally got there it was worth it. The Dam itself is quite the feat of construction but it was overshadowed by the construction on the new bridge which you can see extends from either side of the canyon reaching out into the middle. On our way back to Vegas we chose to do a scenic drive along Lake Mead.
We toured some of the major
hotels in the evening. Each one had it's own shopping area and some type of attraction. We saw the lion habitat at the MGM, the gondolas at the Venetain and the sinking ship at Treasure Island. The best were the botanical gardens and the Fountains at the Bellagio. Of course with only an evening we barely scratched the surface.
We got back to Excalibur at 10 and hit the casino. It's a good thing we didn't get back earlier because those machines really like to eat cash.
