Samuel Clemens and Virginia City, Nevada
Virginia City’s emergence as a community began in 1859 with the first major discovery of silver on the eastern slope of northern Nevada’s Mount Davidson. The “Comstock Lode” as the find was named, was the first major discovery of silver in the United States, and was soon overrun with miners eager to make their fortunes. Merchants, barkeeps, hotel builders and the like shortly followed, quickly turning this isolated area into the boomtown known as Virginia City. Hoover Dam - Black Canyon, Nevada
Hoover Dam was an immense construction project that was initiated to control damage caused by the annual flooding of the Colorado River in the areas along the lower Colorado where it flowed between Arizona and Nevada.Named for President Herbert Hoover who was most influential in endorsing the Dam’s construction, Hoover Dam was built in the Black Canyon area of the Colorado, spanning the Arizona and Nevada state borders.
Las Vegas Wedding Chapels
Although almost everything that happens in Vegas stays there, that’s not really true when you get married there. Las Vegas is well known for two things and that’s gambling and weddings. Many a blushing bride has taken a quick trip to the strip with her gallant groom to tie the knot.
Las Vegas Helicopter Weddings
Where would you like to get married? This is indeed a big question. Many couples toy with it over a period of time. My wife and I were perfect examples of this prior to our marriage. We went back and forth for around two years. Yeah, I know; we were engaged for a long time. In the end we decided on a nice little spot in Savannah, Georgia. It was outstanding to say the least.
Las Vegas Packages
I have to admit that I'm not a gambler. Sure, I will head down to Vegas for an adventure to remember, but I don't have any interest in giving away free money. This is absurd to me. I would prefer to just pay off bills and invest in my little girl's college fund. That makes sense in my book. So, have you been down to "Sin City" lately?
Las Vegas Vacations
If there's one thing we all look forward to, it's vacations. Maybe not necessarily because we get to travel or see family, but definitely because we get to ditch work for a week or two. There's nothing like a long, much-deserved break from the old cramped cubicle. Am I on to something here or what? Anyway, the biggest concern when it comes to travel is the destination itself. Where do you want to go this year, and who all is coming along?
