On our last day in Vegas we drove over to the Hoover Dam and took one of the tours. What a marvelous feat of engineering! I had no idea that they poured the concrete all day, every day for two years! That's just crazy. We went down like fifty-something levels and we were able to see how the dam works. It was really interesting and informative.
We then drove over to the parking lot for the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. We took the short walk over to the bridge and got some awesome pictures of the dam. I have always had a fascination and love of bridges and this one is truly incredible. It was finished being built in 2010.
