Day #34, Laughlin NV to Las Vegas NV

Thursday Nov 12, 2009 - Today we traveled from Laughlin to Las Vegas (100 miles). We did a final state count yesterday because we will not be going to any more new states this trip. We have been in 11 different states on our trip. We have now traveled 3395 miles.
Laughlin is a town on the Nevada side of the Colorado River that is made up of casinos. Big casinos that require a lot of people to support them. I cannot imagine where all the people come from. It is a long drive to anywhere from Laughlin.

On our way to Las Vegas we saw a dam, Bullhead City AZ, long straight roads, major dust storm in the desert, big cactus, a very used firetruck, and a sign to Christmas Tree Pass (we did not see any trees).

Then there was Las Vegas. It gets bigger and brighter every time we drop by. They are still building new large hotels and casinos. It's an amazing place.

More Las Vegas pictures.

The animal of the day. There were several cormorants at the Davis Dam. And that's about all the animals we saw today.
