Viva Las Vegas

Took a drive out to Hoover Dam and took the Power Plant Tour (the Dam Tour was sold out). Walked across the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Walked along Freemont Street (downtown Vegas) in the evening.

10/4/15

Went to Grand Canyon West. Was going to go out on the Skywalk, but misread how much it was going to cost; also it was closed because of some rain. Was supposed to stay at Hualapai Lodge, but when I arrived they had no power and their restaurant was closed - I hadn't eaten and the nearest restaurant was >30 miles away...so I continued on...
