Vegas Trip: Hoover Dam

Filed under Architecture, Photos, Travel

A short 30 minute drive from Las Vegas is Hoover Dam, probably best known as the structure built to contain Megatron.

We drove out to the dam and I walked across it. It is amazing and worth the trip.

They've cleaned up the battle damage really well. Did they say what they're going to do with the excess power capacity now that Megatron no longer needs refrigeration?
