Las Vegas

We were on our way to San Francisco to go on our cruise to Hawaii, so we only stayed in Vegas for 2 full days.  One day we spent the day at the amusement park inside Circus Circus.



Oh the things I do for Mae!  Trust me, this would not have been on my "to do list."  We had a great day.  We bought an arm band so that we could ride the rides ALL day, and we did.  We were played out when we left.  It's very nice to take advantage of empty attractions, that don't have any lines.  We watched a few of the acrobat shows as well.  It was a fun day.

The next day we visited the Hoover Dam. 


This is one view of Lake Mead.




This one of the bridges right near the dam, isn't it beautiful?



The water level is so low!  The white rock is typically covered by water.  It was an amazing site, none the less.

We went home and hung out until just about dinner time.  We went "into town" to see the lights on the strip and watch the light and water show at the Bellagio.



So those were the highlights from our Vegas stop.  We traveled quickly up to the San Francisco area.  In my next post, I'll fill you in on our great cruise to Hawaii!
