Las Vegas - WOW Show (Part 4)

 Going to Las Vegas and not watch any shows doesn't sound right. There are many shows to choose from. I thought of picking something that would be colorful and exciting. WOW show that takes place at Rio Casino seemed like the one that fit the requirements. It also had a pretty good review from the audience. 

Rio Casino have a very fascinating interior. I was amazed. 

 

Despite the high rating of the show, the line was rather short. The overall audience was less than expected. It worked well for us. The ticket collector offered us better seats that were empty. 

More of Rio Interior:

Inside the theater. It looked rather small but eye catching. I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting a very big stage. However, once the show started, the whole room seemed to have become the stage. It was pleasantly unexpected. Loved the show very much. 

Hoover Dam

Anybody visiting Las Vegas is sure to take the time to visit the all famous Hoover Dam, which is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It is about an hours drive from Las Vegas. We stopped by there on our way to Grand Canyon South rim. My idea was it would take about an hour and we'd be able to get back to road quickly. However, the reality was quite different. The place is gorgeous! We ended up spending over two hours there. 

Approaching Hoover Dam:

Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge:

The landmark river bridge, featuring the longest concrete arch in North America is nearly 1,900-foot-long crossing of the Colorado River approximately 1,500 feet downstream from the dam.

Multi-storied Parking lot offers a nice view as well.
