Utah/Arizona Trip: Day 5 (June 13th), Las Vegas

Next morning we decided to explore Las Vegas.   First up were Luxor and Mandalay Bay which we had not seen before.  Luxor was a bit seedy; Mandalay Bay was much nicer and had an interesting wave pool.    There was a new hotel complex at Las Vegas City Center (Vdara, Cosmopolitan and Aria).    We explored Aria, but it was not too interesting.    There was a very high end shopping mall outside the hotel called Crystal.   Beautiful, but deserted.   I guess the prices are too high for the hoi polloi.   It is apparently designed by Daniel Libeskind.   After a buffet lunch at the Bellagio, we were bored and headed over to Lake Mead.   The temperatures were exceeding 100F and after a brief walk over the dam, we headed back to the airport and back to Seattle.
