Hoover Dam

in travel •  7 years ago 

Remember how I said there are lots of things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling? Visiting the Hoover Dam is one of them. Technically it's not in Vegas, but it's only 45 minutes away. If you visit one and not the other you'd be missing out. The Hoover Dam is an impressive feat of engineering surrounded by stunning scenery. And let's not forget that it was in the best Superman movie of all time. You can bet that we listened to the Superman theme by John Williams as we drove through the desert mountains.

I took a ton of photos but narrowed it down to the best. Enjoy!

The pictures are SO pretty! 😀😀😀

Thank you! I finally have a good camera :D

We lived in vegas for about 4 years and went once to use the pokie machines. Your right there is a lot of other things to do outside the strip some nearby and some not too far. We enjoyed our time there.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time there… We found a delicious vegan restaurant a block off old Freemont St. I would eat there every day if I lived there haha

Wow! It's so enormous. Even today, still a feat of engineering!

I was amazed. The lens I had couldn't even capture the whole thing.

Great pictures. It's good that tourist enjoy the nature instead of throwing money away at the casinos.

These pictures make me miss the West. Great post!
