We hit the strip after setting up camp along Lake Mead and having dinner. We arrived around 10:30pm, just as things started hopping. As you can tell by the photos on the website, we didn't get out of the car. However, we saw some crazy things. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! We pulled up next to the Mirage just as the huge volcano erupted. We could feel the heat hitting us in the car! A large billboard truck with full scale "Hot Babes" advertising seemed to haunt us (mainly Ryan) as we inched along in traffic. Our eyes were full of lights and other spectacles as we made our way up and then back down the main strip.
The next morning we left our site on Lake Mead and headed to Hoover Dam. The dam was very impressive, an engineering marvel. The huge towers that took in the water had openings that were 35' tall and 10' wide. Were we all amazed at how many power lines and towers were around the dam, it was like Frankenstein's laboratory on a Godzilla scale.
