Firstly: not so close to Vegas - a six hour bus ride away. Not so bad though, did get to take in the Nevada landscape from the passenger seat, as well as making stops at Hoover Dam and along the old Route 66 (it was delisted by the US in the late 80’s). And yes, the ex-Water Board in me was impressed by the scope, design and history of the Hoover Dam.
