I’m the first person to admit that I love the rush of a craps table. My favorite site to play online games at is M2 Singapore Casino Online. Nickel HARD 6, YO! So when going to Vegas, fresh air and serene scenic views are not what I typically plan for a memorable Vegas vacation.  Breathing “fresh” air is typically inhaling car exhaust fumes while walking to the next casino.  A serene scenic view, the  Eiffel Tower replica at  the Paris Hotel is quite majestic at 5 AM after playing craps and drinking bourbon all night long.  

Glitz, Glamour, gambling and a health dose of debauchery are my  golden standard when visiting Sin City.   That is until my last trip to the Strip. I decided I  to take a break from the tables and see a natural marvel and a modern wonder,  Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam.

If there was an antonym in the dictionary for the Las Vegas Strip it would be Red Rock Canyon. Peaceful is the first word that comes to mind when reminiscing about my excursion.  The sandstone cliffs, limestone mountains and the open desert are simply stunning.    It’s a serene getaway in the Mojave dessert and hard to believe it is less then 20 miles from Las Vegas.  I could stare for hours at the tranquil rocks while taking deep breaths and clearing my mind.

One of the greatest engineering achievements in  human history is Hoover Dam.   It’s magnificent to see.  I cannot describe it’s enormity in words. I felt very small while visiting.  And, it probably sounds very cliche, but you can feel the energy of the dam too.

According to Vegas.com Hoover Dam  is the highest concrete dam in the Western Hemisphere, standing at more than 725 feet above the Colorado River. With 17 generators producing 4 billion kilowatts of electricity a year, it also is one of the country’s largest hydroelectric power facilities. Would you also like to have the right generator for your home? Then, you may want to visit a helpful site like pleavinpower.co.uk for more info!

It’s also pretty cool that you can go from Nevada to Arizona after crossing the bridge.

Both Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam are worth the time spent away from the overblown, artificial awesomeness that is Las Vegas. When I get home, I’ll still have God55 to play casino games online.
