Monday, Scott & I headed to Boulder City to go visit the Hoover Dam. We stopped at Lake Mead right before we got there and although it was an awesome view it was surprisingly to see that it was so dried up. This marina had to be moved down from it's original spot.
Here I am at Lake Mead.
Hoover Dam was an awesome site.
There were building a new bridge there. If you look in the background you can see the two parts of it that aren't quite joined together yet. They do have the road finished up to and beyond this bridge.
This is the view of the visitors center.
It's a long way down on the other side.
Can you see the white lines? This is where the water line was a few years ago. It is now 100 feet lower. I didn't realize that the lakes were low on the other side of the US also. They say if it continues to be so dry they will run out of water here in 55 years......that's not too far away....
Monday night, we went to the Rio Hotel & Casino to see the Penn & Teller Show. We had seats on the second row and it was a great show. They are so funny and so good. They even showed us in slow motion how they did some of their magic tricks and it was still hard to see...
They took lots of people from the audience to help them....
After the show they were out in the lobby and we got to get their signature and a picture taken with them. Teller even talked....lol...
Penn with us. He didn't even use any profanity through out the show....imagine that.
We had a great day. We won a few more dollars on the penny slot machines and walked thru a few more casinos.
