Viva Elvis and Hoover dam

We had an exciting trip planned for Vegas this past weekend and it was more than what I expected. We got off to a late start but when I finally got off of work Kyle and I jetted down to Vegas.

 We needed to get to Vegas atleast by 9 so we could make it for the Viva Elvis show at the Aria.  We were meeting up with our friends Shawn and Kim and  April and Merrill.  Luckly we made it in time.  The show was awesome.  I love Elvis music and they picked some good songs to put in the show.  I loved watching videos from the past.  It made the whole show so real.  Watching these Cirque du Soliel shows makes me wanna be a dancer but then when the show is over I come back to reality.

 Saturday we finally made it to the Hoover Dam.  I had been to the Hoover dam before but I hadn't been there since they built the new bridge over it.  The picture above is the bridge they built to help vehicles bypass driving over the Hoover Dam.

Us after we walked back to our car.  It was neat to go see the Hoover Dam and be able to look down.  It made me very nervous being that far up from the ground.  We were able to check off another place on our list of places to see.
