I woke up Friday morning and wondered, “Am I really in Vegas?”
It had been quite an ordeal getting here — and we were planning on making every moment count.
On the agenda today? A tour of the Hoover Dam, stops at In-N-Out Burger and Trader Joe’s, dinner somewhere, the JABBAWOCKEEZ show at the Monte Carle — which, by the way, started off slow but ended with us on our feet — and a visit to a nightclub that wouldn’t charge us a cover.
We did all that — and more. Except we wound up paying a cover charge. Well, we’re not 24 anymore!
Here’s what our second day — the first full one — in Vegas looked like:
New bridge
In October 2010, the Colorado River Bridge — now called the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge — opened, part of the Hoover Dam bypass project. It spans 2,000 feet over the Black Canyon. Folks like to walk this bridge, too, with stunning views of Lake Mead, the dam and the Colorado River.

Iv’e been on that dam tour and I like it. if you have never seen a dam that is the dam tour to see. That dam is quite amazing and now they have a dam bridge? Wow that dam and dam bridge is something.
Hah. That was dam funny!
lol. “well, we’re not 24 anymore!” i sense a *hint* of sadness in that statement.
think of it this way… now you can afford to pay cover, unlike those 24-year olds who need to save that $20 to pay for drinks.
There was SUCH a hint of sadness there! But that’s OK. I actually prefer being in my 30s. You lose the perks, but you’re in such a better place. 🙂
