Las Vegas Bound

Today is the day we get to Vegas and we are ready to get there.  We are going to the Hotel for breakfast and then we will get started.  It was about 9 am when we got down the road.  Breakfast was so good just as good as dinner was last night.  This hotel is very nice and it is busy with people taking the train ride.  We really liked this park and if you ever get a chance to stay here do so--it is nice.  It is the Grand canyon RV Resort.

We will stop at Kingman to get gas for the motor home.  Why does it always take so much time to get some where when you are excited about getting there.  lol  The scenery is not the most beautiful, to me anyway, Ron thinks the desert is pretty.  Whewwwww  Williams is 7000 ft elevation.  We have sleep number beds and because of the elevation our beds were so hard.  I keep mine at 65 and when we got to Vegas they were at 100.  Then after we were here a while they dropped to 05.  hehe

Here is a picture of the drive coming into Kingman from Williams  This elevation was 4000 ft and
we flew down the hill.  I had to close my eyes a couple of times.  Plus my ears were popping like crazy.  The temp was nice it was like 54. 

 

We finally made it into Kingman and got gas, not me, the motor home.  hehe  Here we got it for $3.39 which was much better than the $4.29 for unleaded in Williams.  Vegas is only a couple hours away.  Cannot wait to get there.  Here is a pic of Hoover Dam, one of the most awesome places to visit.  Many years ago we took a tour of the dam and how it was made it is fascinating how it was done at the time it was done.  Amazing.  They have built a new highway that now bypasses it but I was able to catch a pretty good pic of it.  If you ever get a chance to see it you really should.  It is awesome



Hoover Dam

Then we come into Boulder City and it has gotten so big.  It has been a long time since we were here before, but this area has really grown up.  We are like 21 miles away, I am getting excited.  cant wait to get there.   

 



Here is our space in the Las Vegas RV Resort.  This is a super nice park.   There is a dog park that I can take Daisy to and let her off her leash.  She loved it, too bad it didn't have grass, just gravel.  Daisy kept saying where is the grass...

After we got the coach all set up we got ready and went to Sams Town for lunch.  We ate at the buffet and they had anything and everything you would want.  It was so good.  After we ate, we walked around the casino  there is an atrium in the middle that is beautiful.  It has several restaurants and flowers and there is a water show that is awesome.  The said the atrium lights up at night and so we will check it out to see how pretty it is.  Here are some pics we took inside the casino.

 Well, this entry today was forever in the makings.  Something was wrong with the website and my Internet at this park is crazy.  I am going to call this a night, it has been at 4 hours working on this.  I was almost finished with it and it just poof went away completely,  Had to redo everything.  So frustrating.  But it is ok, it is good it is finished and you can check it out.  Tomorrow is another day and I will talk to you then. 

 

This is the life...  enjoy
