Just as I wish this crappy weather would come to an end! I haven't got to swim at all while we've been here. Seems like the last couple of weeks are just a blur. Also seems like yesterday we were in the desert valley of Arizona. Today I've been busy trying to tie up all loose ends and gather up all the things that we're out of to get ready to move on down the road. Yesterday we spent the day cruising around Las Vegas. We visited and gambled in 5 different casinos and drove around looking at more. The morning started out at the Luxor Hotel & Casino on the South end of the Strip. It looks like a pyramid and the hotel rooms are along the outside walls all the way up on the inside walls. It's pretty cool. They have an awesome pool area, and there were quite a few braving the cool winds yesterday swimming, but they must have been really wanting to swim, 'cause it was cold! Before we left here the weather forcast told us to pull the slides in and stow the new satellite dish! It was a good thing we did that. The gusts were ferocious all day, and there was a dirt haze hanging everywhere. Today I have been sneezing and hacking around. On the way downtown we stopped off at the Flamingo Casino and right next door to that is Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. We decided it was "Five oclock somewhere!" and had Cheeseburgers in Paradise, DH had a Margarita and I had a fruitful Daquiri! That place is has a great fun atmosphere and pretty good food. After a long walk back to the parking garage, we made our way on down Las Vegas Blvd. past The Mirage, Trump Towers and the new Wynn Casino. We didn't stop to go in there. DH came away from the strip with a little change and he wanted to go into the Union Plaza downtown, where they hold some of the Poker Tourneys you see on TV. After looking around there, we walked down Fremont Street under the canopy, popped into one of the little places that advertised Frozen Chocolate Bananas and Nathans Hot Dogs for 99 cents. Yes we had a snack! I almost panicked when we got ready to go and I couldn't remember exactly which garage we parked in! Then we retraced the steps and found it! Whew! That's a bad feeling. We headed back out to Henderson and the Sunset Station Casino for a Buffet Supper before picking up the fur kids about 8:30...I was exhausted! We didn't leave too much money around, but we didn't win big either! We ended up leaving the slides in all night and the wind howled most of it. It didn't take long for me to be out like a light! Tonight I opted to stay in and take a shower and get ready to go in the morning and DH chose to go back to the Boulder City Railroad Station and play some Texas Holdem. We will come back here again sometime, but for now it's time to count this visit and move on. We have really enjoyed staying here at the Boulder Oaks RV Resort. It is very quiet and I have felt safe the whole time. Nice facilities and very good location. We will head south west tomorrow to Victorville California and explore a little of the old Route 66 highway and museum. We have reservations on Sunday at a Park in Orange County but until then we will look around the area and I have some cooking to do.....
