Vegas, Baby!

We drove over the Boulder Dam and into Sin City. Last year we stayed at the Oasis RV Park at $46 per night but this time we are in the Road Runner RV Park at $16 per night. It is a three day special rate. We have been here before and it is a nice little park with a pool. Maybe a little crowded (smaller spaces) but for the price it can't be beat. Norma whined a little about having to take the dolly off so the woman at the check in found us a pull through. It was 96 degrees when we checked in and I set up the dish. Thankfully, it did not take long. There was a wind strong enough after dinner to move the dish so I found some rocks to steady it. The guy across the street has six (!) concrete blocks around his dish so maybe there is a bit of wind here.

It will be our last chance to soak up some sun so we are taking advantage of it. We should still get home by the 29th but the extra five days Canada has added to the filing deadline for taxes gives us some breathing room.

We do not have much planned for Las Vegas except soaking up some rays. And maybe a Happy Hour at Emeril Lagasse's Stadium Restaurant. His appies are on for $5 and beer for $3. Now to find out when Happy Hour is.

    You could do a lot with the $30 you saved on your park fees. That's a lot of happy hour food or even a few pulls on the slots! Have fun!

    Cheap eats, drinks and sunshine. Sounds like a plan.

    Do they actually still let you drive over the dam? I thought that stopped when they opened the bridge.

    You're right Don. Traffic is over the bridge. You can't even see the dam unless you park and walk.

    Put those extra coins in the slots, Croft - ya just never know. It's not so nice here on the Island right now so soak up the sun while you can.

    You can still drive over the dam. There is a parking garage for cars in Nevada. But for towing or RVs, you have to drive over the dam and park on the Arizona side. The closed the road from the Arizona side. Now it's a cul-de-sac of parking lots.
