Globus PARKS & CANYONS SPECTACULAR – 2007 Day 14
Day 14 LAS VEGAS.Ending the trip in Las Vegas, as we generally staye over one night when ending trips, we did so here and with rental car on the next day visited the Hover dam when a new bridge was under construction.
When actually touring the inside of the dam, that tour was most impressive. Signs for suspicious activity were everywhere We were required to pass through security scanners, but since the security people were there It would seem to me that cameras would not have been allowed for security reasons but I carried a camera and notice others using their video cameras. Hoover dam bridge is as awesome as the dam.
When visiting wax museum I only had throw away camera and if I can find it I can post images. I had my picture taken with Tiger Woods
