Welcome back to the work week. It’s a Monday, and although it may not be the most well liked day, it’s not going anywhere, so you may as well make the most of it!
In today’s installment of Dollars & Sense we have got a couple of cool things that you can do in Nevada that won’t cost you a dime. Hopefully it makes your Monday just a little better.
Check Out The Rio Masquerade Show in the Sky:
The Rio Masquerade Show in the Sky is a Brazil’s Carnivale-inspired parade suspended from the ceiling snakes through a section of the Rio Hotel. Also, a fun place to take the kids to enjoy the music and fun! You can purchase tickets to “ride” the floats if you prefer.

Visit The Hoover Dam:
A short drive away from the city lights, you will marvel at Hoover Dam. Drive over the dam and have several photo-taking opportunities to add to your scrap book. Hoover Dam is a testimony to a country’s ability to construct monolithic projects in the midst of adverse conditions. Built during the Depression; thousands of men and their families came to Black Canyon to tame the Colorado River. It took less than five years, in a harsh and barren land, to build the largest dam of its time. Now, years later, Hoover Dam still stands as a world-renowned structure.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Plan Vacations Ahead Of Time
Vacations are a necessary part of saving our sanity in the busy lives that we lead. But vacations are also a huge drain on the family finances. You can cut the cost of a vacation significantly by planning and booking ahead of time. Bookmark travel sites for finding inexpensive airfare, hotel etc., and book at least two weeks in advance.
