After breakfast, we would dash off into the day. Here is where I dropped Minsan off for his conference each morning.
While we were in Vegas it was not sunny much of the time…weird huh for a dessert place! My first goal of the day was that I wanted to go up in the Stratosphere. Problem number one…it was too early, they didn’t start their rides until 10:00
. 
Along the strip are amazing casino’s, but there are also plywood fencing like these. Half built casinos that just never were finished when the economy slumped.
I headed back to the hotel to grab a cup o’ joe before taking off to my next option, Hoover Dam. I just liked the look of this building.
Here is the inside of the hotel we stayed at.
I was attracted to many different things this day, including this lovely pattern.
After about a 45 minute drive, I arrived to the well known Hoover Dam. I was excited to try and capture it in as good a detail as I could. What was especially cool was that I was able to capture it for the brief moments that the sun was out that whole day.
Isn’t it amazing how far down that truck was down there. I am not yet sure how they get vehicles down there!
This bridge is a very, very amazing feat of engineering. I am still thankful that I didn’t have to travel across it. Somehow it freaks me out to be that high above the ground.
So many ways to look at the Hoover Dam.
I heard that the water level used to be as high as the white lines before. Not sure when, but that is a pretty significant difference from right now.
Here I am people watching!
They had special monuments commemorating the Hoover Dam. Lot of them actually!
People would walk by the feet and rub it and make wishes. It keeps the toes shiny that is for sure!
2nd part of day 3 to follow soon!
