Las Vegas was crazy. I guess I shouldn't even be talking about this because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but I'll break the rules just this once.
We got into town around 5 o'clock and couldn't find a safe looking parking lot, so we went to Expedia.com and found a really cheap room at the Riviera on the strip for the night. That was the safest option and also allowed us to drink without worrying about driving.
The lights and fountain shows were my favorite, especially the fountain show in front of the Bellagio. Our favorite casino was Treasure Island, because we won more, but I loved the statues and architecture at Caesar's Palace. Sean and I each gambled 10 dollars in the penny slots and that kept us busy until 3 a.m. We only won 15 dollars, but it was fun anyway.

The next day we had a late start. I think we left town around 2 p.m. and headed toward Flagstaff, AZ for the night. On our way we stopped by the Hoover Dam, which we didn't realize was on our path. It was a really cool sight and the engineering behind it is amazing!

We stayed in Flagstaff that night and then headed toward the Grand Canyon in the morning.
What can really be said about the Grand Canyon that will do it justice? It is so vast and deep that it has mountains inside of it. it. The layers of colors and the way the clouds cast their shadows on it are remarkable. You'll just have to make a trip out to see it yourselves. Sean and I have already added hiking across it to our bucket list for next time.
