Wyoming God.

Whole N-D-Wall is located in Big Horn's Mountains
of Johnson City in northernWyoming.
The site was used in the late19th century by the Whole
N-D-Wall gang, a group of cattlewrestlers and other outlaws
that included the Logan Brothers, Black Jack Ketchum and Butch
Cassidy's Wild Bunch.

What was it?
It said about there's anotherplace?
Yeah, I was looking at WholeN-D-Wall.
I thought it said somethingabout another site.
I think there's a site close tothere that's actually pretty
paranormal.
It's like a state park, what?
(03:15):
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken youmight be mistaken, I might be,
but it looked like.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I like this.
You mistaken Big.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Horn Mountains.
Yeah, big Horn Mountains ispretty paranormal.
There's a lot of sightings upthat way.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
You know what comes to mind when I hear Big Horn.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
What.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't think I can go into it on here.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like uh.
You know what.
You know what I think of, whatI think of Big Horn, I think of
like the old uh uh, notelephants, what were they called
?
The old mammoths with the withthe huge tusks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wally mammoths?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, like the Wally mammoths with the huge tusks.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I am so disappointed those aren't alive right now.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Dude.
Imagine if you had a pet Wallymammoth.
Dude, I would totally have one.
Would you have a pet Wallymammoth?
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'd ride it all over the place too.
All right, I'd make a seat inthe curve of the tusk.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
We were talking about travel sites because this week,
on WWV, uh, we have the topsites and things to do in Nevada
.
You know why I thought thiswould be a good one, jess?
Because you want to go there.
No, I've been to Las Vegas.
It's not my favorite place inthe world, um second favorite no
(04:34):
um, I don't know how do Idescribe the Las Vegas.
It felt cramped.
You know they call it the SinCity.
It felt sinful when I got offthe plane, Like that's how it
felt Like the atmosphere as soonas you walked out the plane.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, oh, I shouldn't be here, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
There's.
There's there's plenty of showsthat I want to see in Las Vegas
and things I want to do there,but when I got off the plane in
Las Vegas, that's how I felt, Um, but the reason why I wanted to
do this was because I betpeople don't know there are
other things to do besides LasVegas that makes Nevada very
special.
Um, one that comes to mind isArea 51.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's always a site that's in Nevada.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah.
That's always a site thatpeople, that people love.
There's a.
There's like all kinds of stuffaround it, like if you go
toward the Area 51 site there'sa gift shop and an actual like
alien shop there that you can gosee.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Huh, did people actually rush that place?
No, no, it never happened.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It never happened Like people wanted to.
People wanted to, but nobodywas about it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Um, probably because they get eliminated really quick
.
Well, I mean, it'd be fun.
Anyway, there are things to do.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We're going to talk about some stuff that's in Las
Vegas, but there are otherthings to do as well.
Um, some of them on this listare free, as you can see, and
some of them are not, so we'regoing to talk about them.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The first one one that says free can't be can't be
free.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The first one is not free, but it doesn't cost a lot
of money.
Um, but you can go see it.
It's pretty well known landmarkin the States.
Uh, it is the one and onlyHoover Dam, which is also the
site of a lot of controversy,conspiracy and a whole bunch
other stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Also yeah, yeah, it was probably.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Megatron.
Also, there's a bunch of weirdstuff about the Hoover Dam, but
you can go see it for yourself.
It's only.
A site says it's about $10 perticket, um 957.
Trip Advisor says it's more.
Trip Advisor says it's like $90.
I don't know.
That makes more sense thetickets may vary, but you can go
(06:56):
take a tour of the Hoover Dam.
Some of the weird stuff aboutthe Hoover Dam.
I don't know if you know thisthat shows up in a lot of
conspiracies and things is thesayings on the walls of the
Hoover Dam and the angels at thetop.
There are angels at the top ofthe Hoover Dam that look very
(07:20):
ominous.
It'll look like normal angels.
The saying on the Hoover DamSays they died to make the
desert was it?
Was it Bloom?
So the saying about the peoplethat died to make the Hoover Dam
says that they died to make thedesert bloom, which is also
(07:43):
very ominous.
So I don't know.
You can go check it out foryourself.
They'll give you the full tour.
You can go see the inside, theoutside, you can walk the top.
It's a big tourist destination.
So I'm sure they would be morethan happy to take your money
and give you a full tour.
They're very happy to take yourmoney.
(08:04):
Let me see if I can show apicture here real quick, because
Jesse wants to know whatstatues I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Statues here's so sporadic when it comes to
looking on stuff.
Well, I can't keep up with you.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I gotta show you what they look like, because they're
rather weird-looking.
You know what?
I had the full picture and nowI'm gonna go look at the picture
and you might say weird, Imight say beautiful you go ahead
.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You tell me it's creepy, obviously I mean and
it's got these rib sections.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You can't see him, but there's like rib sections
that don't look natural in theside of them.
This is the actual and theyhave their wings that point up.
A lot of people said, yeah,that's weird.
The logo too.
If you go look at the Eaglelogo at the Hoover Dam, a lot of
people said that looks like aMason logo, like the Freemasons,
of course.
So that is just some of thecraziness that is at the Hoover
(09:07):
Dam.
Here's some of the ones.
Look at that.
I mean, isn't it kind of weird?
No, that that's a pole.
That's the shadow of the pole.
Yeah, that's the flagpole.
These are the two Winged angelson either side.
The wings point.
It's a little weird.
(09:27):
It's a little weird.
You guys will have to go see itfor yourself.
I thought this would be coolthing to talk about things to do
in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Weird angels at the Hoover down, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so if you want to go see him for yourself, it
doesn't?
Well, it's weird right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You say we gotta talk about weird stuff yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, it's not like you'll go broke going to see the
Hoover damn, it's not thatexpensive.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Hey, you're not gonna go broke listening to us.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
All right, so here we go another good one that is not
too expensive to see, and if Ican get back to it, Well,
pushing the back button helps isthe Red Rock Canyon National
Conservation Area.
It's a national reserve.
You ever been to Red?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Rock Canyon conservation area.
Wait a minute.
What do I have to conservethere?
Exactly your pride, I don'tknow I can do it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You ever seen.
You probably seen thesepictures online.
Red Rock Canyon is prettyfamous.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
See this kind of structure.
Yeah, I see it.
All right, this is the firsttime I'm seeing it, probably.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, red Rock Canyon is pretty famous.
It's also, I believe, the siteof where they did that one viral
video, the swing.
I'm not really sure, yeah, butnever mind it.
Actually that might be adifferent park, but I thought it
was a thing.
I thought it was the same parkbecause it's very similar
formations in the rock when I'mcurious what's this swing you're
talking about?
(10:56):
Well, years ago there was aviral video of a swing and it
was one of the first viralvideos to go crazy, and it was.
They tied a piece of rope tothis arch and the arch was all
completely rock.
So this archways, like this bigcircle, look like a donut right
.
Okay tied a rope to the top.
(11:16):
They jumped from one canyon,swung through it, yeah, and they
made kind of a viral video outof it.
I think that was a differentpark, but Red Rock Canyon has a
lot of the same features.
Sorry, I gotta look that up ifI remember.
Yeah, it's a fun video.
Number three on the list theHotel and casino there's no way,
(11:42):
that's free.
Well they're saying it's free togo see, like you don't have to
stay there.
A lot of these places we'regonna name off on the list.
You don't have to stay there ifyou don't want to, but they are
cool places to go see Becausethey're landmarks.
A lot of them are historical.
The Valley of fire State Park,they're saying it's around.
(12:03):
The average cost is around 15bucks for the Valley of fire
State Park to enter.
Yep, I Don't know.
Would you want to go see theValley of fire?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh man, fire turns me off.
I Hear fire, I don't know if Iwant to go see the Valley of
fire.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, the reason why it's called the Valley of fire
is because of the way that thecolor bounces off of the rock
formations.
Yeah, there it is.
There's the arch that I wastalking about.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So it is.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the Valley of fire.
That's the arch that theyjumped off of right there.
Yeah, pretty close to it.
Look at that.
If that's not the arch, it's,it's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's the exact same thing like the okay simple that
you put together with yourfinger put together.
If you hold them together,that's kind of what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It looks like a pretty cool park.
I'd go check it out.
Yeah, there's somebody drivingthrough it.
The road looks nice yeah andyou can, you can tell you better
bring drinks and snacks withyou, because there is nothing
within a 30 mile radius of thispark Wonderful.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look at this jet pack Maybe.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, yeah, frozen water bottle.
I don't know everything.
Frozen water bottles.
Yeah, last y'all day.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Your water a last longer?
Yeah, maybe if the heat doesn'tgo.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
If the heat doesn't go, Well, that that's the thing
we in Israel.
When we visited Israel, it waslike 100 degrees every day,
right?
So we would?
We would freeze our waterbottles, put them in insulated
pouches and carry them aroundall day, and then it would melt
throughout the day and we'd havewater pretty much most of the
day.
(13:47):
Now, as far as in Las Vegas, youhave the Fremont Street
experience, which is that bigstreet area in Las Vegas that
has like the zip line and theshops and everything throughout.
You ever seen that?
It's got like a huge.
It's basically a huge shoppingmall, the Fountains of Bellagio.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't travel quite as much as you.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well, you I mean you don't have to travel to watch TV
or YouTube.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I mean I forget a lot of things.
I mean I forget to turn YouTubeon period.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Here I'll show you a picture of it.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't use YouTube religiously like other people
Now see.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
this is the area where the shopping mall is up
here, where you see these littlelines.
That's the zip line that goesacross the whole street, so you
can ride a zip line across thewhole street.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
All right, I'm yelling in a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's all good.
It's all good, we'll getthrough it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I want to look at that picture.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
See how the ceiling changes.
Oh look how pretty it lookslike a piece of the zip line See
the zip line.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, no, not really, but okay, here I'll zoom in.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'll zoom in.
You got to get the old man tosee it here.
See these Old man, see these.
See these old man.
You see these wires.
It's all part of the zip line.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I'm not an old man.
What do you mean, old man?
See these old man.
No, I'm not an old man.
You are an old man, I'm not anold man, I can't see the zip
line.
My eyes are just worse.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Now, this one doesn't cost money.
Will they convince you to spendmoney there?
Probably, this has everytourist trap known to man in the
shopping mall, plus the zipline and all the ooh shinies
that are there.
So there's that.
The other one that'sinteresting is the fountains of
Bellagio, which are free.
You can go see those.
(15:37):
Those are in front of a hotel,but they're one of the scenic
spots everybody likes to take apicture of or do like.
You see those.
You see those marriageproposals where the guy gets
down on one knee and is usuallyin front of a fountain somewhere
.
That's that's the fountains ofBellagio.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean it's a good place.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It is a good place.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
The next.
I would too, potentially.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The next one I would totally go on would be the high
roller, which let me read offsome stats about the high roller
.
High roller is a 550 foot tall,520 foot diameter giant ferris
wheel on the Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Strip.
Those things always kind offreak me out.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, this one is even crazier, because the actual
thing that you're in is that oh, you're in a bubble.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yep, okay, I might write that one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You're in it, I don't like to open ones.
Yeah, yeah.
And what's nice about this oneis it doesn't have the you know
how like some ferris wheelsaround the world have that thing
where the car goes down andthey sway like this yeah, I hate
that, and then it goes down andsways like this.
This is a completely standstillferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That's okay, I would write that one.
I hate the rocking and the yeah, this one doesn't rock as much,
I feel like I'm gonna fall out.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
This one doesn't rock as much and you get your own
private car with your friends, Iwould probably write that one
Also looks really cool at night,by the way.
Yeah, tons of lights andLighting.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I see red light, fancy stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
So, yes, if I had to choose aferris wheel to ride I'm not a
fan of a lot of ferris wheels,but this one definitely would
check it out Looks like anairplane cockpit.
Of course, one of these sitesthat you have to see if you're
dealing with Nevada is you haveto take a picture in front of
the famous Las Vegas neon sign.
(17:29):
I mean because who doesn't wantto take a picture in front of
the famous neon sign that's inevery movie known demand?
There it is.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh yeah, that's the one I saw.
Ponser the one they show onPonser.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yup, yup, yup.
I mean, who doesn't want tocome here and just take a
picture, like in front of the?
You know, like it's?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I was here.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I've done it with every state of men too.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It is fun like traveling.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like the rest of the states, yeah, to like say what's
happening.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Welcome to this state , or welcome to whatever, and
take a picture.
This one's interesting, theneon museum.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well shoot, I didn't do it with Pennsylvania and
Michigan when I went with you tothe states.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So, along with the neon Las Vegas sign, they have a
neon museum of all the scienceand stuff throughout history.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Look at this yeah, I think I've seen that on Storage
wars.
That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's crazy.
Um, so yeah, there is just someof the things you can do.
Let's list off real quick,before we get out of here, the
some of the other stuff that youcan do.
So we've got the great base,great basin national park, if I
can pronounce it correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I can read them if you want the mirage.
The Venetian, las Vegas, sevenmagic mountains, paris, las
Vegas.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, there's a Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas.
Go see it.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Uh the Strat Hotel Casino and Tower.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, so it looks scary.
It has amusement park rides ontop of the hotel.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh man, they are like 40, 50 stories high, so the
edge of a yeah, so you, youdefinitely want to do that
either this one right here isyou're in a four seat slider and
you can.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
you rock back and you can call back, and then you
rock forward and it hangs overand you point down over the edge
.
Space needle, that is needle.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I thought that was in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Not, it's not the same one.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
This is the Strat Hotel.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
This is the Strat Hotel.
That's what it looks like, andthen that amusement park rides
are up there.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So you gotta take an elevator up.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yup, gotta take an elevator Also, I think.
I believe, lock a lot of these,because this is the hotel right
here behind them, a lot of these.
There's a restaurant and stuffup there too.
So if you wanted to go hang outup there and like eat and hang
out with friends and stuff, youcould totally do that.
There's a lot of cool things tocheck out in Nevada.
(20:10):
Besides that, I wanted to bringattention to some of the parks
and things that you can dobesides Las Vegas, because there
is a lot of cool things to seein Nevada besides just Las Vegas
.
Also, if you check out Nevadatourism, they will tell you a
bunch of cities and towns otherthan Las Vegas that have sites
that you probably want to gocheck out, like restaurants,
(20:34):
hotels, historical sites, likecrazy stuff that you could see
in Nevada.
So one of the sites wasNevadaTravelcom.
If you get a chance, go checkit out.
There's a list of tons ofthings to do in Nevada and you
will not be disappointed, Iassure you.
But maybe make Las Vegas laston your list.
(20:56):
So if you spend your money, youwon't spend it all on Las.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Vegas, the first night.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Maybe you leave Las Vegas for the last night Sounded
theory, all the rest of yourmoney?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
there.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, there's no way.
But you know there's no way.
I'd want to spend all my moneyin Las Vegas if I was going to
visit the whole state.
No, yeah, I mean I might godown there just to get abducted
by aliens.
And it's a lot of desert toothough yeah, you could totally
get abducted by aliens downthere, you just like crop
circles.
Just wander out in the desert.
(21:32):
Of course, if you wander toofar near Area 51, you will get
visited by people in pickuptrucks that are not joking.
They will not be joking withquestions, questions.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I said probed, and then I said with questions.
Speaker 2 (21:51):

There is a Whole N-D-WallWikipedia.
What?
Check this out Whole N-D-WallWyoming.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wyoming God.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Whole N-D-Wall is located in Big Horn's Mountains
of Johnson City in northernWyoming.
The site was used in the late19th century by the Whole
N-D-Wall gang, a group of cattlewrestlers and other outlaws
that included the Logan Brothers, Black Jack Ketchum and Butch
Cassidy's Wild Bunch.
(02:51):
There you go, you didn't shake,and lay money.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There you go, whole N-D-Wall.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Whole N-D-Wall.
What was it?
It said about there's anotherplace?
Yeah, I was looking at WholeN-D-Wall.
I thought it said somethingabout another site.
I think there's a site close tothere that's actually pretty
paranormal.
It's like a state park, what?
(03:15):
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken youmight be mistaken, I might be,
but it looked like.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I like this.
You mistaken Big.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Horn Mountains.
Yeah, big Horn Mountains ispretty paranormal.
There's a lot of sightings upthat way.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
You know what comes to mind when I hear Big Horn.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
What.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't think I can go into it on here.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like uh.
You know what.
You know what I think of, whatI think of Big Horn, I think of
like the old uh uh, notelephants, what were they called
?
The old mammoths with the withthe huge tusks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wally mammoths?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, like the Wally mammoths with the huge tusks.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I am so disappointed those aren't alive right now.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Dude.
Imagine if you had a pet Wallymammoth.
Dude, I would totally have one.
Would you have a pet Wallymammoth?
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'd ride it all over the place too.
All right, I'd make a seat inthe curve of the tusk.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
We were talking about travel sites because this week,
on WWV, uh, we have the topsites and things to do in Nevada
.
You know why I thought thiswould be a good one, jess?
Because you want to go there.
No, I've been to Las Vegas.
It's not my favorite place inthe world, um second favorite no
(04:34):
um, I don't know how do Idescribe the Las Vegas.
It felt cramped.
You know they call it the SinCity.
It felt sinful when I got offthe plane, Like that's how it
felt Like the atmosphere as soonas you walked out the plane.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, oh, I shouldn't be here, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
There's.
There's there's plenty of showsthat I want to see in Las Vegas
and things I want to do there,but when I got off the plane in
Las Vegas, that's how I felt, Um, but the reason why I wanted to
do this was because I betpeople don't know there are
other things to do besides LasVegas that makes Nevada very
special.
Um, one that comes to mind isArea 51.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's always a site that's in Nevada.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah.
That's always a site thatpeople, that people love.
There's a.
There's like all kinds of stuffaround it, like if you go
toward the Area 51 site there'sa gift shop and an actual like
alien shop there that you can gosee.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Huh, did people actually rush that place?
No, no, it never happened.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It never happened Like people wanted to.
People wanted to, but nobodywas about it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Um, probably because they get eliminated really quick
.
Well, I mean, it'd be fun.
Anyway, there are things to do.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We're going to talk about some stuff that's in Las
Vegas, but there are otherthings to do as well.
Um, some of them on this listare free, as you can see, and
some of them are not, so we'regoing to talk about them.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The first one one that says free can't be can't be
free.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The first one is not free, but it doesn't cost a lot
of money.
Um, but you can go see it.
It's pretty well known landmarkin the States.
Uh, it is the one and onlyHoover Dam, which is also the
site of a lot of controversy,conspiracy and a whole bunch
other stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Also yeah, yeah, it was probably.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Megatron.
Also, there's a bunch of weirdstuff about the Hoover Dam, but
you can go see it for yourself.
It's only.
A site says it's about $10 perticket, um 957.
Trip Advisor says it's more.
Trip Advisor says it's like $90.
I don't know.
That makes more sense thetickets may vary, but you can go
(06:56):
take a tour of the Hoover Dam.
Some of the weird stuff aboutthe Hoover Dam.
I don't know if you know thisthat shows up in a lot of
conspiracies and things is thesayings on the walls of the
Hoover Dam and the angels at thetop.
There are angels at the top ofthe Hoover Dam that look very
(07:20):
ominous.
It'll look like normal angels.
The saying on the Hoover DamSays they died to make the
desert was it?
Was it Bloom?
So the saying about the peoplethat died to make the Hoover Dam
says that they died to make thedesert bloom, which is also
(07:43):
very ominous.
So I don't know.
You can go check it out foryourself.
They'll give you the full tour.
You can go see the inside, theoutside, you can walk the top.
It's a big tourist destination.
So I'm sure they would be morethan happy to take your money
and give you a full tour.
They're very happy to take yourmoney.
(08:04):
Let me see if I can show apicture here real quick, because
Jesse wants to know whatstatues I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Statues here's so sporadic when it comes to
looking on stuff.
Well, I can't keep up with you.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I gotta show you what they look like, because they're
rather weird-looking.
You know what?
I had the full picture and nowI'm gonna go look at the picture
and you might say weird, Imight say beautiful you go ahead
.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You tell me it's creepy, obviously I mean and
it's got these rib sections.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You can't see him, but there's like rib sections
that don't look natural in theside of them.
This is the actual and theyhave their wings that point up.
A lot of people said, yeah,that's weird.
The logo too.
If you go look at the Eaglelogo at the Hoover Dam, a lot of
people said that looks like aMason logo, like the Freemasons,
of course.
So that is just some of thecraziness that is at the Hoover
(09:07):
Dam.
Here's some of the ones.
Look at that.
I mean, isn't it kind of weird?
No, that that's a pole.
That's the shadow of the pole.
Yeah, that's the flagpole.
These are the two Winged angelson either side.
The wings point.
It's a little weird.
(09:27):
It's a little weird.
You guys will have to go see itfor yourself.
I thought this would be coolthing to talk about things to do
in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Weird angels at the Hoover down, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so if you want to go see him for yourself, it
doesn't?
Well, it's weird right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You say we gotta talk about weird stuff yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, it's not like you'll go broke going to see the
Hoover damn, it's not thatexpensive.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Hey, you're not gonna go broke listening to us.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
All right, so here we go another good one that is not
too expensive to see, and if Ican get back to it, Well,
pushing the back button helps isthe Red Rock Canyon National
Conservation Area.
It's a national reserve.
You ever been to Red?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Rock Canyon conservation area.
Wait a minute.
What do I have to conservethere?
Exactly your pride, I don'tknow I can do it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You ever seen.
You probably seen thesepictures online.
Red Rock Canyon is prettyfamous.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
See this kind of structure.
Yeah, I see it.
All right, this is the firsttime I'm seeing it, probably.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, red Rock Canyon is pretty famous.
It's also, I believe, the siteof where they did that one viral
video, the swing.
I'm not really sure, yeah, butnever mind it.
Actually that might be adifferent park, but I thought it
was a thing.
I thought it was the same parkbecause it's very similar
formations in the rock when I'mcurious what's this swing you're
talking about?
(10:56):
Well, years ago there was aviral video of a swing and it
was one of the first viralvideos to go crazy, and it was.
They tied a piece of rope tothis arch and the arch was all
completely rock.
So this archways, like this bigcircle, look like a donut right
.
Okay tied a rope to the top.
(11:16):
They jumped from one canyon,swung through it, yeah, and they
made kind of a viral video outof it.
I think that was a differentpark, but Red Rock Canyon has a
lot of the same features.
Sorry, I gotta look that up ifI remember.
Yeah, it's a fun video.
Number three on the list theHotel and casino there's no way,
(11:42):
that's free.
Well they're saying it's free togo see, like you don't have to
stay there.
A lot of these places we'regonna name off on the list.
You don't have to stay there ifyou don't want to, but they are
cool places to go see Becausethey're landmarks.
A lot of them are historical.
The Valley of fire State Park,they're saying it's around.
(12:03):
The average cost is around 15bucks for the Valley of fire
State Park to enter.
Yep, I Don't know.
Would you want to go see theValley of fire?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh man, fire turns me off.
I Hear fire, I don't know if Iwant to go see the Valley of
fire.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, the reason why it's called the Valley of fire
is because of the way that thecolor bounces off of the rock
formations.
Yeah, there it is.
There's the arch that I wastalking about.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So it is.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the Valley of fire.
That's the arch that theyjumped off of right there.
Yeah, pretty close to it.
Look at that.
If that's not the arch, it's,it's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's the exact same thing like the okay simple that
you put together with yourfinger put together.
If you hold them together,that's kind of what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It looks like a pretty cool park.
I'd go check it out.
Yeah, there's somebody drivingthrough it.
The road looks nice yeah andyou can, you can tell you better
bring drinks and snacks withyou, because there is nothing
within a 30 mile radius of thispark Wonderful.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look at this jet pack Maybe.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, yeah, frozen water bottle.
I don't know everything.
Frozen water bottles.
Yeah, last y'all day.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Your water a last longer?
Yeah, maybe if the heat doesn'tgo.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
If the heat doesn't go, Well, that that's the thing
we in Israel.
When we visited Israel, it waslike 100 degrees every day,
right?
So we would?
We would freeze our waterbottles, put them in insulated
pouches and carry them aroundall day, and then it would melt
throughout the day and we'd havewater pretty much most of the
day.
(13:47):
Now, as far as in Las Vegas, youhave the Fremont Street
experience, which is that bigstreet area in Las Vegas that
has like the zip line and theshops and everything throughout.
You ever seen that?
It's got like a huge.
It's basically a huge shoppingmall, the Fountains of Bellagio.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't travel quite as much as you.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well, you I mean you don't have to travel to watch TV
or YouTube.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I mean I forget a lot of things.
I mean I forget to turn YouTubeon period.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Here I'll show you a picture of it.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't use YouTube religiously like other people
Now see.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
this is the area where the shopping mall is up
here, where you see these littlelines.
That's the zip line that goesacross the whole street, so you
can ride a zip line across thewhole street.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
All right, I'm yelling in a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's all good.
It's all good, we'll getthrough it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I want to look at that picture.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
See how the ceiling changes.
Oh look how pretty it lookslike a piece of the zip line See
the zip line.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, no, not really, but okay, here I'll zoom in.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'll zoom in.
You got to get the old man tosee it here.
See these Old man, see these.
See these old man.
You see these wires.
It's all part of the zip line.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I'm not an old man.
What do you mean, old man?
See these old man.
No, I'm not an old man.
You are an old man, I'm not anold man, I can't see the zip
line.
My eyes are just worse.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Now, this one doesn't cost money.
Will they convince you to spendmoney there?
Probably, this has everytourist trap known to man in the
shopping mall, plus the zipline and all the ooh shinies
that are there.
So there's that.
The other one that'sinteresting is the fountains of
Bellagio, which are free.
You can go see those.
(15:37):
Those are in front of a hotel,but they're one of the scenic
spots everybody likes to take apicture of or do like.
You see those.
You see those marriageproposals where the guy gets
down on one knee and is usuallyin front of a fountain somewhere
.
That's that's the fountains ofBellagio.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean it's a good place.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It is a good place.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
The next.
I would too, potentially.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The next one I would totally go on would be the high
roller, which let me read offsome stats about the high roller
.
High roller is a 550 foot tall,520 foot diameter giant ferris
wheel on the Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Strip.
Those things always kind offreak me out.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, this one is even crazier, because the actual
thing that you're in is that oh, you're in a bubble.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yep, okay, I might write that one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You're in it, I don't like to open ones.
Yeah, yeah.
And what's nice about this oneis it doesn't have the you know
how like some ferris wheelsaround the world have that thing
where the car goes down andthey sway like this yeah, I hate
that, and then it goes down andsways like this.
This is a completely standstillferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That's okay, I would write that one.
I hate the rocking and the yeah, this one doesn't rock as much,
I feel like I'm gonna fall out.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
This one doesn't rock as much and you get your own
private car with your friends, Iwould probably write that one
Also looks really cool at night,by the way.
Yeah, tons of lights andLighting.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I see red light, fancy stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
So, yes, if I had to choose aferris wheel to ride I'm not a
fan of a lot of ferris wheels,but this one definitely would
check it out Looks like anairplane cockpit.
Of course, one of these sitesthat you have to see if you're
dealing with Nevada is you haveto take a picture in front of
the famous Las Vegas neon sign.
(17:29):
I mean because who doesn't wantto take a picture in front of
the famous neon sign that's inevery movie known demand?
There it is.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh yeah, that's the one I saw.
Ponser the one they show onPonser.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yup, yup, yup.
I mean, who doesn't want tocome here and just take a
picture, like in front of the?
You know, like it's?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I was here.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I've done it with every state of men too.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It is fun like traveling.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like the rest of the states, yeah, to like say what's
happening.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Welcome to this state , or welcome to whatever, and
take a picture.
This one's interesting, theneon museum.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Well shoot, I didn't do it with Pennsylvania and
Michigan when I went with you tothe states.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So, along with the neon Las Vegas sign, they have a
neon museum of all the scienceand stuff throughout history.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Look at this yeah, I think I've seen that on Storage
wars.
That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's crazy.
Um, so yeah, there is just someof the things you can do.
Let's list off real quick,before we get out of here, the
some of the other stuff that youcan do.
So we've got the great base,great basin national park, if I
can pronounce it correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I can read them if you want the mirage.
The Venetian, las Vegas, sevenmagic mountains, paris, las
Vegas.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, there's a Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas.
Go see it.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Uh the Strat Hotel Casino and Tower.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, so it looks scary.
It has amusement park rides ontop of the hotel.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh man, they are like 40, 50 stories high, so the
edge of a yeah, so you, youdefinitely want to do that
either this one right here isyou're in a four seat slider and
you can.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
you rock back and you can call back, and then you
rock forward and it hangs overand you point down over the edge
.
Space needle, that is needle.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I thought that was in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Not, it's not the same one.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
This is the Strat Hotel.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
This is the Strat Hotel.
That's what it looks like, andthen that amusement park rides
are up there.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So you gotta take an elevator up.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yup, gotta take an elevator Also, I think.
I believe, lock a lot of these,because this is the hotel right
here behind them, a lot of these.
There's a restaurant and stuffup there too.
So if you wanted to go hang outup there and like eat and hang
out with friends and stuff, youcould totally do that.
There's a lot of cool things tocheck out in Nevada.
(20:10):
Besides that, I wanted to bringattention to some of the parks
and things that you can dobesides Las Vegas, because there
is a lot of cool things to seein Nevada besides just Las Vegas
.
Also, if you check out Nevadatourism, they will tell you a
bunch of cities and towns otherthan Las Vegas that have sites
that you probably want to gocheck out, like restaurants,
(20:34):
hotels, historical sites, likecrazy stuff that you could see
in Nevada.
So one of the sites wasNevadaTravelcom.
If you get a chance, go checkit out.
There's a list of tons ofthings to do in Nevada and you
will not be disappointed, Iassure you.
But maybe make Las Vegas laston your list.
(20:56):
So if you spend your money, youwon't spend it all on Las.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Vegas, the first night.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Maybe you leave Las Vegas for the last night Sounded
theory, all the rest of yourmoney?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
there.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, there's no way.
But you know there's no way.
I'd want to spend all my moneyin Las Vegas if I was going to
visit the whole state.
No, yeah, I mean I might godown there just to get abducted
by aliens.
And it's a lot of desert toothough yeah, you could totally
get abducted by aliens downthere, you just like crop
circles.
Just wander out in the desert.
(21:32):
Of course, if you wander toofar near Area 51, you will get
visited by people in pickuptrucks that are not joking.
They will not be joking withquestions, questions.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I said probed, and then I said with questions.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
With questions Probed , with questions All right From
the WWE.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Oh, we still doing, stay weird.
Yeah, okay, I hope we're soweird, y'all be weird.
