Slot machines are everywhere...starting from the moment u step into the airport (crappy picture because of the sunset in the backdrop)

Looking down from the dam (the dam is 700 feet tall)

New bridge being built near the dam...would be great once it's done because 1) the traffic is bad because the dam only allows 2 lanes of traffic 2) provides a great view of the dam from there

Consider that the dam was built in 1935...this is amazing

I visited the dam during a cross-country trip in the 1996 summer holiday. It is a true man-made marvel.
