What happens in Vegas...blah blah blah...

So I made it to Vegas. We're staying in the Mirage...the one with the volcano in front. I haven't managed to do much yet except drink a beer and take a bath. Hopefully more will happen later. If I get a chance, I'll upload some pics. Now that I've found internet access..."real" internet access that doesn't include dialup...I may not leave the room...we'll see.
Grand Canyon was great for the first 5 minutes or so. After that it gets kind of redundant. There are only so many ways you can look at a rock canyon and go oooo..ahhhhh...Yeah it's pretty big. Grand even. But not worth more than a day unless you do one of those expensive tour things.
The Hoover Dam had all of the cool stuff blocked off to keep the terrorists from blowing up the place so all we really saw was the generators. It was still imressive though...worth about a half a day.
