- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: You still go by mule down Angel trail if you want to get to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. In vast areas of Arizona and Nevada the Wild West is unchanged. But the great Hoover Dam has made a difference, providing electric power and a man-made desert reservoir that stretches through a valley 115 miles in length. The result: you’ve got green golf courses fed by a million gallons of water a day, you’ve got swimming pools and playgrounds where, once, there was just arid rock. And you’ve got - Las Vegas, the razzle-dazzle gambling city where it is brighter and lighter at midnight than at mid-day and where the fun goes on non stop every twenty-four hours of the day.
