Viva Las Vegas

Oh..... the lights on the strip were too much to resist. It is just so colorful and full of life on every corner you slip by. Gambling slot machines, pirate shows, roller coasters, blast of fountains, a cruise on Venice canals simply fascinate me. Poor mom & dad were on their feet all day long walking up and down the strip. The place was huge. I truely enjoyed the POROVICH comedy show as it shown lots of live cats and dogs in their cuteness. I remembered meowing and woahing throughout the show. Mommy & Daddy stayed at the nice castle hotel called EXCALIBUR.. It was really BIG and lots of walking everywhere. I see jackpot machine all around me. What a way to remember Las Vegas.

Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete gravity-arch dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. The dam, located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and then later as President of the United States. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1935, more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Lake Mead is the reservoir created behind the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.
