I just got back from a week-long family vacation to Las Vegas. The weather was so incredibly hot there; but we had a great time. Our ventures took us from the strip to Fremont street and to many detours in between.
Our driving route took us to Lake Powell (my first time there) where we stopped and took some great pictures. The unique land formations in the middle of the lake were breathtaking. I would have loved to spend more time there, perhaps on a houseboat for the weekend, but we had another agenda for this trip.
We took one morning of our vacation to drive to Hoover Dam. The temperature was higher there than on the Vegas strip and was just too much for everyone so we took a few pictures and headed back. The dam was still under construction from the last time I visited which was in 2004. We were lucky to beat the traffic when we drove up to see it. The people coming when we were going, however, weren't so lucky and were in for a long wait.
The shopping in Las Vegas is phenomenal with all the exquisite stores: Dolce & Gabbana, GUCCI, Prada, Guess....places that we don't have access to here in Farmington. One of my favorite outings, besides seeing the Phantom of the Opera, was viewing photographer Peter Lik's art exhibit at the Venetian. He is a self-taught master photographer from Australia and has art galleries in Vegas, New York, Florida, Colorado and his home country, Australia. Mr. Lik truly is a talented individual and an amazing artist! I recommend visiting one of his galleries to see his masterpieces.
