Hello! Today is a good day so far! I say so far, because it’s only 3:09pm and we’ve got so much to do and see this evening and tonight. I think we are heading down to Fremont Street tonight and on a Friday night it should be a rowdy night. Not rough or dangerous, but if you are a people watcher, it will be a hot spot.
SO! What did we do this morning? We went to visit Hoover Dam. Last winter when we were here they were starting to build a new bridge that would funnel the cars over Hoover Dam and not against it. I’ll show you a picture of a year ago and I’ll show you a picture of this year’s progression. It was so exciting to see Hoover Dam and the building of the new highway.
These are 3 pictures from last year’s (and I do mean, exactly one year ago) of the new bridge they are building….
Okay, and these following pictures are from today’s visit……
So those are the pictures of what we did today! We had a nice time there and we brought Jake along to enjoy the weather with us walking around. We didn’t walk across the dam, but we went to one of the many rest area around the dam and enjoyed the area walking around and visiting the gift shop.
I’ve got pictures of when we went out last night! 
Take a peek….
This is a picture of outside walking along the Las Vegas Boulevard……
Paris Casino and Hotel. I didn’t win much money in here…..think I lost about $40 bucks……
We visited the Excalibur Casino…..very neat inside, but not paying out….
New York New York Casino! Nice and simple inside with a decent food court. Great pizza here! But, didn’t payout for me last night!
The Luxor! Very nice inside. I got some pictures of inside as far as I could go with a camera!
I didn’t win any money here, but I almost won this (yeah, right!)……
So, that’s what we did last night! The only place where I made some money last night was at the MGM Grand! I won about $200 dollars. So tonight we are heading down to Fremont Street. I’m not bring a lot of money to spend, because remember Friday night thru the weekend, I really don’t think the casinos are going to pay out that much. I think I’ll be staying with the penny machines tonight. Have a good night. And I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
Truly awesome pictures. I really enjoyed these … and was amazed and flabberghasted by the development.
As for the MGM, that’s where I won the most on all of my Vegas trips.
Well, GOOD LUCK on your next pick of casinos.
This dam is pretty cool. What are they going to do there? a park?
Don’t spend too much money, part of the fun is the game itself, even without the winning, isn’t it?
