Years ago, a friend and I traveled through the southwest in a convertible. This was the entry into Nevada.
A downward view from the top of Hoover dam. The dam itself is pretty cool looking with art deco touches.
The reservoir created by Hoover Dam – the very, very blue Lake Mead.
A little bit of the midwest in the wild west. You can gamble anywhere in Las Vegas – from the airport to convenience stores to cafes.
A night view of the Flamingo Hilton where we stayed. I won quite a bit at the slot machines here – enough to buy flamingo accessories (soap dish, toothbrush holder, etc.) for my bathroom decor. (I love flamingoes!)
A street in the non-gambling part of Las Vegas. Just to show that it’s not all glitz and glamour!
A resident of the desert. A lot of the cacti have been used as target practice – they don’t seem to have been hunted for food.
A common river view in the Nevada desert. No water at this time (late September) but it looks like it gets pretty wet in the spring.
