In the weekend of St. Patrick's day, a few of my friends and I went to Vegas for the weekend. We stayed at the Red Rock which is a new off strip spa and casino resort. Its more for weekend getaways and more locals. A different feel from the typical strip casinos. I had absolutely no luck at any of the casinos that weekend. Lost mostly playing Blackjack and a little Roulette. It was my first time driving out to Vegas which was nice for a change. About 5 hrs door to door. Driving across the Hoover dam adds about an hour to the trip....would only be about 4 if we didn't have to sit in traffic. I don't have pictures from Vegas, but here are some from the dam.
This is of the construction for the new bypass bridge that is about 1/2 mile up from the dam. The bridge is extremely high and probably built too close to the dam. Traffic will most likely be a little faster going over the bridge, but people will probably slow down just to see the view from the bridge anyway. From the looks of it...not so sure I'd want to drive across that anyway. Its a long way down and this picture really doesn't do it justice.
I was told the white rock face in this picture below is from where the water line used to be. Not sure if that is true.
