Las Vegas Valley

I was in Vegas last week for the first time. I'd say I was into the scene for the first few hours I was on the 'Strip', but after that it's trashiness, bright lights and in-your-face consumerism got old. I did enjoy getting out of the city and traveling the outlying areas, including Lake Mead, Valley of Fire and Hoover Dam. Below are some photos. I'll post more in another blog entry. There appears to be a limit to how many photos I can post for each entry.
