After a slight detour to check out Hoover Dam today. It was crowded too, and on a weekday! We took the tour - it is pretty amazing. The Americans really were quite audacious to think that they could dam the Colorado River, and they did it ahead of schedule, and during the Great Depression.
J is checking out the turbines in the dam that generate electricity. E is trying to generate electricity of her own.
At some point yesterday J had taken a look at the tourist map of Las Vegas. After close examination, he informed his Daddy that while in Las Vegas, he wanted to see sharks, dolphins, lions and "horse with two leg" (Sharks at Mandalay Bay, dolphins at The Mirage, lions at MGM Grand). But it was the last one caused much confusion. It was only today, when K had a look at the map himself, that we finally understood what he was talking about.
In the spirit of living the extravagant lifestyle, there are dealerships that rent out dream cars for the duration of your stay here. Among these dream cars is Ferrari, whose logo is a horse rearing up on its hind legs. So there you go, horse with two leg.
We ate really well in Las Vegas. Buffet dinner at the Bellagio one night, then Japanese buffet at Todai the next night. And in between, caesar salad (at Spago) at Caesar's Palace.
