Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam

Spring Break has been pretty busy! Ashley and her roomie Lindsay flew into Vegas for a little vacation, so since they were on my side of the country I had to drive up and visit! We had a great time checking out Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, the Stratosphere tower, walking around almost all of Vegas and the humungous hotels/casinos and trying to hit it big on the slot machines! I can't forget to mention all of the yummy food we ate too! We also drove down to see the Hoover Dam.
Inside the Encore hotel. Lindsay was working on a project for school, so we walked around inside and found these pretty things hanging from the ceilings.
Stratosphere Tower... we were up at the top!!!!
Sisters on the AZ and NV border!

My camera still needs cleaned... ignore the weird black smudges at the top!
Standing in 2 states at one time!
I thought these statues were pretty neat!

This picture doesn't capture how far up I was... but trust me it was high and it kind of gave me the heebie jeebies!!! It drops straight down and then starts to curve. Yikes!
I couldn't even get the bottom of the dam in because it's so big!!!

i really enjoy the one inside the encore hotel. those laterns are beautiful! i love all those bold colors together. i also really like the one of lake meade. i like how it's a little blurry from the heat. and the rocks are those goregous western rocks full of color.... my favorite!!

i DO have to say, though, miss smith, that i'm more than a little disappointed in the quality of your pictures. i would like to think that after three fantastic friends of yours sent you money FOR cleaning your camera, that you would have had that problem taken care of by now. i hope you didn't spend that money on something else....

Haha I still have my birthday money ready to go to get it cleaned. They won't send them out from Ritz anymore.... I tried.... but I did get the companies info to drive it there myself. It's quite the drive though! :) I'll get it cleaned before you see me next!!!
