Hoover dam

On our way to the Grand Canyon from Vegas we stopped over Hoover dam which was on the way so we had a short stop over since the weather was so nice and warm


view along the way


another short stop


cute ball shape shrub/ tumble weed. we even saw few tumble weeds being blown across the highway, just like in the old wild west movie...haha 




after another 15-20 minutes drive we stop over to Hoover Dam before continuing our 4 hours drive to the Grand Canyon. there are places where you parked for free which is on the Arizona side



Hoover Dam is on the border between Arizona and Nevada
  





the dam is quite dry




Boon told me this is where they film Transformers. I didn't realize it until i saw that towers behind me




the water was pretty low


but really beautiful place




there is a 1 hour difference between this 2 borders


cool







see that beige building on the left? it's a parking building. That would cost you $5 or is it $10? to park there but there is a tourist information and a small museum i think


oh this dam was named after a US President 




enjoying the breeze


we were so lucky, weather was perfect



we were glad that we stopped over, or else would have missed this beautiful landscape.

we had a small mishap, where we were locked out from our car. We were freaking out at 1st but thank god there was a small souvenir shop nearby who helped us called for help. Did you know that the Police here have the equipment to unlocked your car? Call me naive, i really didn't know . I was like, we are in trouble, need to spend some money to call the AAA to unlocked the car. And we didn't have anything on us at that time...everything was in the car, wallet, phone.....everything!

I really would like to Thank the Police officer and the lady who helped us call the police for help. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

next stop Grand Canyon

Sin city, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Las Vegas, Disneyland for the adults :D. A place where dreams come true, well that is when you win the jackpot! hehe or it be hell when u loose all your money in the casino
For backpack travelers like us, with tight budget, gambling would be out from the itinerary but we did visit lots of casino

we found a hotel along the strip for only cost us 30/ night (excluding taxes) in Vegas there are 12% tax + Resort fee which is US$ 16.80/ night, so include all would be about $50/ night for 2 person. not a bad deal!


our hotel.........
is just near to this one ... haha


Palazzo Hotel


The Venetian Hotel


treasure island hotel


couldn't resist! hey it's Vegas


The Mirage Hotel. " Someone " told me, he once spend $100 on just one night in Mirage just on alcohol! he must have a good time.


i only get to enjoy FREE Mirage Volcano fire show


was quite entertaining






The Forum Shops @ Caesars 


love the interior




i like the spiral escalator


The Bellagio fountain


look what i found


see these guys on the left? they distribute this name cards of strippers/hookers (i'm not sure). So don't worry if you don't have contacts in Vegas these guys here will hooked you up. i heard they have free pick up and drop off to strip clubs. :D


for those who are curious, what cards i'm talking about

ATTENTION!!!: I do not work for them and this is not for promoting. I just collect these for my blog sake :P

but backpackers like us we find the cheapest food around


cheap and delicious Mexican Tacos

Aria, i think this is one of my favorite hotel on the strip.

the mall linked to the hotel



love it!



night view





one of my favorite shot


I hangout mostly on the strip area..... but walking from one end to the other are quite tiring. What ever you can think of  Las Vegas has it. If you are non gambler (like us) it's still an interesting and vibrant city to visit. Weather was really nice, not too cold and not too hot. Just a light jacket in the evening you are good to go
