Weather Sunny
Temp:     96 ºF
Accommodation: Orleans

Today we will complete the circle by driving back to Las Vegas where we starter. We stopped at Tempe for Lunch at Fatburger (there's one in Vancouver ?) It is the hottest day yet - 102  ºF
The plan was to drive thru Hover Dam at night .
We got there around 8:00 pm , stopped to take pictures. Once the new highway 93 is completed, you may not be able to get this close to the Dam again. Saw the giant overpass being built high up that will by pass the Dam. This all started after 9-11 where Hover Dam was deem as a 'soft target' . Also the traffic here is a night mare to begin with. So we thought we may not have another chance when completed in 2008.
 
Check into the Orleans Hotel.  The hotel is off the 'strip', prices are reasonable & hotel is good. Good Value.
