Hoover Dam in Black and White

October 24, 2011

During our stay in Vegas, we drove to Hoover Dam and took a tour of the powerplant.  I’ve visited the Dam before in the couple of times I’ve been to Vegas (years ago) but I’ve never taken the tour (and I’m not sure why).  It was pretty fascinating to learn the history and go underground to see how everything worked.

Photos are of the Dam, bypass bridge, and powerplant.

Photos of our road trip to Las Vegas.

We stayed at the Hotel at Mandalay Bay.  It was gorgeous, except for the headless statue near the self-park entrance.  Kylie was scared of it so each time we passed it she would look the other direction or close her eyes while one of us held her hand and told her when it was okay to look or open her eyes again.
