| Fri. Dec. 18, 2009 - Up and at’um. We are moving today. It is 8:30am and we are getting ready. Danny has finished up what he does outside and I am finishing up on the inside, getting ready to go. 9:00am we are off. Today we are seeing the high desert and really a lot of wind. The motor home is pulling into the wind and so we aren’t going fast. It is Ok as long as she just keeps going forward. When those big semis come past us the wind blows the motor home. We are seeing snow on the mountains and lots of sagebrush and cactus. It is really pretty with all the different things to look at. The mountains are jagged and high and dark. We have stopped for gas in Lighthouse. It is just a very small town with a truck stop and a few other gas stations and an RV Park. We get gas. We aren’t out but sure feel better when it is above ½ full. Cost less when we have to fill up the upper ½. Page 41 On towards Las Vegas and Henderson. We are thinking about stopping and staying at a Casino in Henderson. No hook ups and free, if we can find one that will let you stay there. Along the way I have taken pictures out of the front window. Danny cleaned the window really well so hopefully I can take some decent pictures. The desert looks different each miles we travel and different from what we saw going to Bullhead City. We have arrived in Henderson and over towards the left we can see the Casinos of Las Vegas. Looks just like a big city! The Casino we were going to stay at doesn’t allow motor homes to stay over night so off to Las Vegas we go. Danny said he remembers there is an RV campground at Circus Circus. It is a KOA and I make reservations as we are getting to Las Vegas. Danny has to drive this big ole motor home down Las Vegas Boulevard. Oh my gosh, it is full of traffic and the lanes are narrow. He does incredibly well. He is still my hero. As he always tells me, “there ain’t anything I can’t do, the impossible just takes me a little longer.” Circus Circus Drive, here it is. The KOA campground is behind Circus Circus Casino. It is nothing much but it does have full hook ups and we are close to other casinos |

Page 42 horse, poinsettias, gigantic tree ornaments, a small train with a camera on the front. Oh my gosh, there we are. There are so many people here taking zillions of pictures. My favorite was the stacked baskets full of baby red roses. They were so pretty. As we get to the end of the display they have 3 bears playing. The bears are made of 34,000 carnations. They are so cool!! We took many, many pictures. Out front of the Beligio is the water display. We watched 3 different scenes. It was so pretty and there were lots of people watching. We walked toward Caesars and stop at the corner. There are 3 city motorcyle police officers parked at the intersection. We just stood there and watched as they did their job and stopped many drivers who ran red lights, or who had been drinking and then decided to drive. “Bad boys, bad boys”. Ok, now it is getting cold and we need to head for the motor home. Wonder what time it is. Danny looked at his phone and it was 11:00pm. Wow, time does go fast when you are having fun. We walked thru the Paris Casino and missed our hallway to the parking garage and had to turn around and head back. Can’t believe we missed it. We find our car, turn on the heat and head out. Danny decides to take some back road to Circus Circus. Well, that didn’t work. We ended up having to use our GPS and got directions and “Fiona” said there was major traffic congestion on Las Vegas Blvd. So she took us around to Circus Circus. When we got home it was 12:30am! We never stay up this late! Hit the bed, feet, hips, calves, thighs, and everything else hurts. Lots of walking that we aren’t use to. Too tired to say much more – Goodnight from Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Nevada. |
| . We got set up with the water, electric and sewer and I put a few things out that we might need and we are ready to run a muck on the strip. Since everything is a way to walk we take the car. First stop, Circus Circus. We wander around and watch people and the circus acts. Enough we head to Belligio and Ballys. Parking, now that is something else in Las Vegas. Nothing like it was in Laughlin. We find a parking garage at Paris and up we go, 6 stories. There is an elevator there so it will be easy to get back. Remember we are at 6D, easy to remember 6 Danny and we are at the Paris Casino Parking garage. Off we go to the Casino. Never been in the Paris before. It is interesting and nice, smells great with all the French pastries going on. The sign says to Las Vegas Blvd., so off we go. My aim is to see the decorations at the Beligio. I saw them on a special on TV and since we are here we might as well go there. We walk across the walk way, easy way to cross Las Vegas Blvd., and walk to the Beligio. Well, those Christmas trees are nice, so are the toy soldiers and the fake wrapped Christmas candy but this isn’t exactly what I thought it would be, there just has to be more. We head toward the hotel lobby. We are walking right thru the middle of the casino and WOW there are people on those machines everywhere. Busy place! WOW that is what we came to see! There is a 6 foot rocking |
