Well, the road to Vegas took us through Kingman, Arizona, which you may recognize from Allstate commercials, but it also was a part of historic Route 66. Which is always neat to see motels in the shape of teepees.
Really the only thing to see along this way was the Hoover Dam, which was something of a disappointment. We could see the lake side coming in where I got some dam souvenirs, but we really couldn’t get a good glimpse of the other side. We opted out of the tour on account of it being 2-3 hours long and we were pretty sleep deprived from our night in the freezing weather of the Grand Canyon. So all we did was just drive over it which wasn’t terribly fun. It’s honestly a lot like driving over a bridge in rush hour traffic where you can’t see over the ledge to the water.
We were pretty excited for the end of this driving for a night on the strip.
