The Hoover Dam

No trip to Las Vegas would be complete without going to the Hoover Dam.   I must say they have really increased their security at the facility since the last time we were there.  The security lines moved quickly though so it is not  much of an inconvenience at all, and I think most people would agree, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

The dam truly is an amazing site to see, and the short video you watch about the building of the dam gives you such incredible insight into what a monumental task this was.
