I spent 2 days in Lake Mead out of a total of 6 days in Vegas. It was a watery oasis, just the right distance between the city of luxury and a never-ending desert. On our first day on the lake, we were hit with a freak storm. I was out on the lake with my brother and suddenly the waters started turning rough and white, and we started get hit from all directions by hard pellets of rain. When we looked back to shore, we saw a dust storm ravaging everyone, then we saw our much-loved heavy duty canopy get picked up and blown away like a flimsy little cocktail umbrella. By the time we ran to it, it looked like a broken spider beyond repair. So we left with one less item than we came with.
The second day was a beautiful 92 degrees with calm blue waters. We had so much fun out on the water, that we forgot to eat lunch, and ended up leaving at 6PM, resulting in us losing our dinner reservation and going to eat dinner at Krung Siam, which ended up being a surprisingly nice dinner that ran until 12AM.
Even though I came back with a souvenir of skin that was just a tad too tan for comfort, my couple days on the lake were a blast!
