The first day we walked down the old strip since we had pretty well done the new strip when we were here for Beth's wedding. The old strip has its own character. And speaking of characters, we saw a guy who looked like Jack Nicholson. He was acting so obvious that we decided that he was an impersonator and would want to sell you tickets to something if he thought you had recognized him.
And now, for the ultimate in tacky: the Heart Attack Grill. From what the sign said, it is the home of the fattiest food you can imagine.
We saw quite a few people along the mall who would qualify (unfortunately) and saw some going in. They even have am old ambulance sitting outside!
To get away from Plastic City, we went to the town of Boulder and to Hoover Dam the next day. It is an amazing engineering feat and like the dams in California helps to bring water to Southern California, western Arizona and Nevada.
It was very windy when we walked along the dam. I was glad that there were big walls between us and the abyss because it felt as if you could easily be swept over if the wind caught you.
Since my internet connection seems to be having trouble with pictures again, I will have to continue another time.
