Efter nogle dage i flotte og stille nationalparker tog vi videre til noget helt andet, nemlig det vilde Las Vegas! Noget af en kontrast til det vi kom fra, men sjovt at opleve. Alt her er stort, larmende og vildt.
After some days in georgeour and quiet national parks we moved on to something very different; crazy Las Vegas! Quite the contrast from what we just came from, but fun to experience. Everything here is big, noisy and wild.
Når vi nu var her, blev vi nødt til at bo på en af hotellerne på Las Vegas Strip. Valget falde på pyramiden: Luxor Hotel.
Since we were here we had to try to stay at one of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. We choose the pyramid: the Luxor Hotel.
Nabohotellet bygget som et slot.
The hotel next door, build as a castle.

Der gambles!!
Gambling in process!!
Efter et par dage i Vegas (hvilket var rigeligt for os + pengene var sluppet op....) kørte vi ud forbi Hoover Dam. Kæmpe opdæmning af Colorado River. Flot og imponerende bygning!
After a couple of days in Vegas (which was enough for us + we were running out of money....) we drove to Hoover Dam. A huge dam on the Colorado River. Very impressive building!
Broen på billedet er en ny bro, der blev åbnet i 2010. Førhen gik alt trafikken over dæmningen.
The bridge on the photo is new, it was opened in 2010. Before that all traffic went across the dam.
Sluser til overskudsvand, hvis dæmningen bliver for fuld.
Floodgates, to use if the dam gets too full.
