Lake Tahoe

 

East Shore Trail



Eagle Falls - raining and hailing so we didn't hike far.  $5 to park close or free on the road.  Continue past falls to get to Eagle Lake

Inspiration Point


Lower Eagle Falls - across the road from Eagle Falls parking




Las Vegas Strip

 Walking or driving on the Las Vegas strip is always an experience.  Be prepared for crowds either way.  Allow plenty of time to get around.  The earlier in the day the better.



Flamingos at the Flamingo


Long lines to have a picture with the sign.







Inside the Strat

If you are a T-Mobile customer, check out the ticket deal on the Tuesdays app for great deals on tickets to go to the top of the Strat & also to ride the thrill rides.  We rode up while daytime but stayed for the sunset & to see the lights.







Ethel M Chocolates - Las Vegas

 Ethel M Chocolates Flagship Store in a fun experience.  There is a self-guided tour of the chocolate production area, including a free sample.  There's also a free cactus garden there to tour.  We were there right after Christmas so it was decorated with lights.  We didn't see it with the lights on but I'm sure it's pretty.











Hoover Dam - Nevada

 It's free to walk around the Hoover Dam.  It costs $10 to park on the Nevada side or right across the dam on the Arizona side.  It's free to park on the Arizona side after Lot 9.  I suggest getting there early, especially on the weekends or holidays.

There are a few tours.  We did the $15 tour that gave us access to the museum & see the lower level of the dam.









Interesting explanation of the dams on the Colorado River in the older museum area.

View from the "new" bridge.  Park & walk a short distance for a great view.
