The Hoover Dam was not quite as big as I expected, but it was much hotter. We managed a brief stop at an overlook/gift shop before the nearly 100 degree weather sent us back into the RV. The new bridge construction was kind of cool, and we had lots of opportunity to study it, as it took at least 20 minutes to get across the bridge.From there, the ride to Vegas was pretty short. First, we had to find an oil change place that was big enough for an RV, which took 2 tries. Then we got some advice about the best place to go for dinner from the guys at Firestone. After some wandering, we ended up at the Golden Nugget, which had a cool shark tank in their swimming pool and a bathroom rated 10, but the buffet was a little disappointing. The raspberry sorbet was good.
We took a few more pictures as the lights started coming on, but soon headed out of town. Too much craziness for us...Today we're headed off into the wilds of Utah for some more canyon excitement. It's gonna be hot, so we'll do our best to keep cool. Until later, happy summer reading!
We all agreed that we need to go back to Utah. We only got to see Bryce for a couple hours because of our car trouble, but there are a ton of National Parks in Utah that make it worth a separate trip by itself!

At the Golden Nugget we found a bathroom rated as high as the bathroom in Texas. With marble sinks,shiny wooden doors it was rated a 10! We'll have hard time finding a better one than that.
