Where in the World is Gary? #91

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#90) is Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

This place is famous for its long, covered bridge.

The history of a nation is chronicled in a series of 120 paintings overhead as one traverses this bridge.

An octagonal tower near the bridge has been used as a watchtower, a prison, a torture chamber, and a treasury. The Reuss River bisects the town and showcases the town hall.
