I was there a couple of years ago, we went to lake mead, it was the highlight of the trip, it was beautiful, we rented a boat and went up to the hoover dam ( as close as we could get ) you can go through the canyon it was awesome, for a couple of bucks, we found it better than catching a show or eating a expensive dinner, bring a cooler and enjoy bud, you won't be disappointed. well worth the effort
