Day 7: Zion to Hoover Dam to Las Vegas

We just finished the Hoover Dam tour and are headed to Las Vegas for good sushi.

Observations:

-The price of Prime Rib Dinners is proportional to the distance from downtown Las Vegas

-It is 112 degrees outside. My car's interior is black leather. After turning our bodies into salt licks from the quick evaporation here we decided for this segment of the trip (Hoover Dam to Las Vegas) we would roll in with the top up despite losing our cool factor. We are cool enough already.

-Will is awesome at roulette. All the cash would not fit in the car with our luggage so we hired une bande de chamoux to carry his winnings.

Family members - remember our family's fondness for speaking in different languages/accents in public places? Will and I made the mistake of doing this in one of the shuttle busses in Zion but soon realized that everyone around us in the bus was also speaking french. Will says that they were sure to be impressed with his l'accent tres bon (we can't remember if l'accent is masculine of feminine...its aways hard to do that with "L" apostrophe vowel begining words...oh well).

We are turning on Flamingo Road now - mmmm, jalapeno tuna sashimi here I come!
