Las Vegas

Hoover dam is neat - as in tidy, very tidy.

It was hard to explain to the boys why the truck that just drove by has huge glass windows on three sides, dance lights and shiny pole in the center.    Maybe the pole holds the roof up.   Or maybe Las Vegas gave up on the family friendly theme.    

The kids surely were wide eyed at the maddening scene on the strip and thoroughly enjoyed Cirque du Soleil's show Mystere.   A trip to the 1000' Stratosphere tower and a ride on "insanity" - a mind numbing thriller that hangs over the edge of the tower capped off our short stay.  


View from Stratosphere tower.  Our RV is middle right, below the reddish thing.  Nothing like urban camping!
