Comments on Vacation Spots

The Las Vegas Hilton is not on the busiest part of the famed Vegas strip and that can be a good thing. It is a very nice hotel that is much larger than the typical Hilton but not as gaudy and audacious as some of the hotels in Sin City.

Because it is not a regular Hilton hotel, members of the Hilton Honors program may be a little disappointed. They give out points for your stay but you won?t get the typical favored treatment that you will find in other Hilton properties. This hotel will reserve that special treatment for their high stakes gamblers.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful natural sites in the US. Many people visit the South Rim of the canyon, as it is the most accessible from major cities.

Recently, the Hualapai opened up the West Rim for viewing by tourists. The landmark facility in their effort is the glass skywalk which allows the visitor to walk on a cantilevered structure that overhangs the edge and has a glass floor. This gives the vacationer an unforgettable view of the Grand Canyon.

The Hoover Dam is one of the USA’s most spectacular engineering destinations. It was built in an era when jobs were needed to pull the nation out of the lack of employment of the Depression. Men died putting in the structure and they are respectfully commemorated on the Nevada side of the river.
