Sunday February 22 Lake Havasu, Hoover Dam and Las Vegas

Patsy loves hiking at Lake Havasu. She actually hiked over 4 miles along the trails while Marilyn worshipped the mattress. Marilyn’s regular Sunday routine. Lake Havasu seems to provide! Again we were lucky that some of our really irritating RV issues were solved here. It sure is good to have our ongoing annoyances gone. Marks on the front of the RV fixed with tooth paste, cleaning of a very dirty ceiling fan, and most appreciated was the solution to finally stopping the fridge door from opening on every corner. No more flying beer bottles! Oh, and the closet door no longer whips open on the opposite corners.

The traffic was very dense at Hoover Dam so we managed to take our pictures on the move. As Bev said an "Engineering feat for the 30s" Completed in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric power producing facility and the world's largest concrete structure.

Later we stopped for a great dinner at the pass overlooking Lake Mead. Lake Mead is the largest man-made lake and reservoir in the United States. It is located on the Colorado River about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the states of Nevada and Arizona. Formed by water impounded by Hoover Dam, it extends 110 mi (180 km) behind the dam, holding approximately 28.5 million acre feet (35 km³) of water.

On arrival in Las Vegas we checked into the Luxor Hotel for one night. It is truly a unique design in the shape of a pyramid but requires some orientation skill in order to find your room. The elevators travel diagonally and it feels like a space rocket. After a little stress over lost time we found the room and got ready for our first Las Vegas show Zumanity. The Zumanity seats, second row aisle center stage, were perfect for this type of Cirque du Soleil show. As a matter of fact, we were included by the “Mistress of Ceremonies” as she quizzed us on our relationship status in front of the audience. One of the comedians also felt it was his duty to include us in his performance. Don’t sit too close in this show if you are shy. It is billed as “18 and over the sensual side of Cirque”.
