Lots of people and temperature was 105 to 107 everyday.
We did the strip and went to the Criss Angel show at the Luxor Hotel.

Wow, look at us !!!

Criss Angel Believe Show in progress !!!
After we left the show we got back on the City operated double decker buses
These are not the open deck sightseeing type buses, they are enclosed on both decks
and air conditioned.
The next two shots are of the strip from the front of the upper deck, (when we got on
there was nobody upstairs, so we were able to sit up front by the window)
The city buses that run up and down the strip are a great deal, $8 for a 24 Hour pass, get on and get off as much as you want to.
Our Campsite at the Circus Circus KOA, we had a premium site gave us a small patch of
grass at the end of a row. Nice shade, table and chairs and even a grass for Bale to go Pee Pee on !!
Most of the sites were just an asphalt parking lot :(
We went on the Hoover Dam tour, one of the water intake pipes to the turbines
that drive the generators making electricity.
Even got another picture of Debra standing in front of one
section of the Generators
More Dam pictures, I know I had to say it !!
Lower section of the dam where the water exits the turbines
The two structures with the holes are the bypass spillways, I believe they
said they have only been used twice when the water got too high on the dam.
Picture of the new (2 years old) bypass bridge next to the Hoover Dam.
In the past you had to drive across the dam and it was always congested.
Now the Bypass bridge is right next to the dam and offers a quick crossing.
We also took a paddle boat tour of Lake Mead after we toured the Hoover Dam
Pictured below is the Lake Mead side of the dam.
Two of the Hoover Dam water intake towers, there are 4 of them, two on each side
