I'm not just traveling the world this summer, but also visiting some cool places in my hometown to show you everything Vegas has to offer.
This weekend I flew about 30 minutes east and ended up at the Hoover Dam. There's a new bridge over the dam that just opened so I decided to check that out first. Good thing I'm not afraid of heights...
Look at these desert rocks...It's very brown around here.
One of the coolest parts about the Hoover Dam is that it is in Nevada and Arizona. I stood in the middle and was WINGing in both states.

I got a little nervous when I ran into this dam sign.
I thought the dam police would be very strict, but they were cool about it. They even changed the name from the Hoover Dam to the "Hootie Dam" for the day.
One side of the Hootie Dam overlooks Lake Mead. I think I'm going to have to rent a boat the next time I go out there and do some wakeboarding and tubing.
If you ever go, you have to take the tour. It's so much fun!
Here's a view of the bridge from the dam...
After a fun filled day at the Hootie Dam it was back to the big city, bright lights and the fabulous Hooters Casino Hotel.
