Red Rocks and Hoover Dam

Today we did an area tour around area, seeing Red Rocks Canyon and Hoover Dam before heading back to eat at the Treasure Island buffet before seeing Mystere.  It was a very enjoyable day!

 But the big attraction was the Hoover Dam. We took some pictures from the top before I took the full "Dam Tour" that went inside the powerhouse and the dam.

Once we got back to Bally's, we got cleaned up and headed to Treasure Island for the buffet and to see Cirque du Soleil's Mystere.  The show was very entertaining and featured amazing acrobatics. 

On our way back we stopped and saw the Volcano show at Mirage and the Water Fountain show at Bellagio.
