Las Vegas Fremont Street

The Fremont Street Experience (FSE) is a pedestrian mall and attraction in downtown. The attraction is a barrel vault canopy, 90 ft (27 m) high at the peak and four blocks, or approximately 1,500 ft (460 m), in length.

Each show begins by turning off the lights on all of the buildings, including the casinos, under the canopy.

Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon

Hoover Dam is an engineering and architectural marvel, and it changed the Southwest forever. Without it, you wouldn't even be going to Vegas.

Grand Canyon is stretching 277 miles across northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon ranges in elevation from 2,400 feet to over 7,000 feet above sea level. In places, it is up to one mile deep and over 18 miles wide, while some of the canyon's majestic plateaus to the north rise to 9,000 feet above sea level. The scenery is spectacular, and is a must see for anybody.
