The last half of our trip was in Boulder City...about 20 minutes outside of Vegas. It's close to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. We stayed at the Hacienda Hotel and Casino...not what I would call a family friendly place...but it was decent. David ran a marathon on Saturday around Lake Mead...Running from and Angel. We met some really cool runners... as well as some crazy runners. If you've never been to a race before all I can say is true blood runners are all about running. The good thing is it gets you addicted all over again.
David did his best time! 4:50! The wind was hard, the course was hilly and the weather was cold and then hot. All in all, we had a great time.
We spent a bit of time at Hoover Dam. If you haven't been...you really should make the time to go.
