On the way to Vegas & Mark's 1st time at the Rainforest Cafe (Aug. 20th-21st)

The country is sooo pretty out here, it amazes me. Here are a few pics of some scenery on the way to Vegas & the Hoover Dam.
Too bad these pics don't look near as good on here as they do for real & enlarged though.


Here are some views of Lake Meade:


And of course, we had to get the "Welcome" sign.

I knew that there was a "Rainforest Cafe" on the Vegas strip & that Mark's never been to one, so I really wanted to go so he could experience it. So we decided to walk down the strip Sat. afternoon to get there & an hour & 15 mins later, we arrived! Our hotel was at one end of the strip & this was at the opposite end. The meal was awesome though & we got some good exercise, so it was worth it.




It was in the 100s temperature wise, so that's why I look red & tired. That was one LONG walk w/in lots of other people & passing over the strip multiple times up & down stairs & such.


It's kind of hard to see it here, but there are mechanical animals throughout the restaurant that move & make noises when the "thunderstorm" starts. They do a thunderstorm scene every 20 mins.
