continutation of trip to las vegas

Blog for Wednesday
After my Grand Canyon visit I headed to Vegas. Next time, I go to Grand Canyon it will be through Vegas and not through Laughlin. On the way to Vegas we stopped at Pizza Hut to get a pizza, it was an expensive pizza, probably because they have to transport all their food. The freeway they got better after I reached the I-15. It was getting dark because I started late from Grand Canyon. As we got closer to Vegas we had to ascend and descend small hills.

I did not know that Hoover dam was so close to Las Vegas, because we were planning to make a trip to Hoover dam. I was glad it was on the way to Vegas, from Grand Canyon. As we reached Hoover dam I parked my car on the side of the road and all of us got out of the car to see the dam. It was pretty spectacular for the fact that they built it in 1935. There was a security checkpoint on the way to the dam, I guess this is to ensure that terrorists don't get too close to it. After soaking in all the sights of the dam I continued my journey to Las Vegas. Las Vegas is not too far from there.

As I entered Las Vegas, I was blown away by the amount of lighting that could be seen from a distance. It will start in times the lighting we saw when we entered Laughlin. It was just amazing. I was wondering how much the businesses in Las Vegas spent on their electricity bills. Anyways now I was trying to find the hotel that we had reservations in. The exit that I was looking for was not just a few miles away, I was so happy to be finally entering Las Vegas.

So I exited from the freeway and the hotel was a short distance from the exit. I found a parking spot and then we unloaded our luggage from the car and headed to the reservation desk. The hotel was a little off the strip but it was very cheap pact I was amazed that it was actually pretty decent, in fact more than decent, pretty good actually. I'll continue blogging about my Las Vegas trip in the next blog.
