Las Vegas

From Death Valley we are going to Las Vegas. Not that we believe this is a place for us, but as we're in the area we have to have a look! We have chosen an RV park right in the middle of Las Vegas, 5 minutes walk to 'The Strip', Las Vegas Boulevard. This will be a first for our ear plugs as the site is right at a 6 lane bridge.

Late in the afternoon it's off to see Las Vegas. The plan is to hop on to one of the tourist buses and drive the 12 miles of casinos, bars, shops  and see the lights at nighttime. Great idea, problem is that this is Presidents Weekend , so Vegas is crowded as and so are the buses. Maybe this is just the normal state for Vegas, I don't know.... So, it's walking for us, we've been sitting too much anyway.

What can I say? It's Vegas, for us rather an anti-climax so after 2 1/2 hours we've had enough and return to our trusted home for a good night's sleep :-) . We're looking forward to leaving the place tomorrow for Zion National Park!

One good thing happened, though, in Las Vegas. We realize that a motorhome of the size of ours is called short in RV terms. We were looking to name it but didn't like any of the names we thought of. Now 'Shorty' springs into mind and that's what it will be. Actually, it is rather short, just about 9 meters long. On the other hand Shorty fits into almost all RV parks or NP camping grounds we're going to!
