Las Vegas, Nevada - February 13-22, 2008
Las Vegas...Sin City...the lights & all! The first night we were in LV, it got windy 
with gusts up to 64mph. While laying in bed, we could feel the rig moving. I thought for sure we were going to take flight! We enjoyed our visit to Red Rock Canyon because the day was warm & sunny, so we decided to put the top down on the EOS & let Mr. Bailey experience the wind in his face. He really seemed to enjoy it. Red Rock is incredible with all the different colors in the rocks on the mountains. We didn't do too 
much hiking as I was still somewhat afraid of running into another rattlesnake! The highlight of our time in Las Vegas was when Karen & TJ (my sister & brother-in-law) flew out for 5 days. Before they came, George & I ventured down to The Strip once & decided we would wait for them because they've been to LV several times. We went downtown to Fremont Street their first night and enjoyed the light show. Wouldn't you know the first light show we saw was about aliens (I think they did that just for George & TJ!). WOW, that's a lot of lights! After dinner, we decided to go into one of the downtown casinos and George, who usually won't gam
ble more than a buck, put in $5 and was having fun winning. He was happy to walk away $35 richer! Since Karen & TJ were only going to be with us for a few days and there was so much for them to show us, I don't think we rested until we pulled out of LV! I even spent one night staying at the Luxor with Karen - a girl's night out - and TJ stayed at the rig with George. We had a ball! We not only spent a lot of 
time walking around The Strip, we also went to Valley of Fire, which is a beautiful spot that gave us some time away from all those huge casinos. I think we did more walking (and Karen & I did more shopping!) in those 5 days we were together in LV than we had done since we left home! We had to check out all the fancy new casinos on The Strip. Of course, we hadn't been to LV in about 15 years so there were a lot of new sites to see. I couldn't even tell you wh
ich casino we liked the best. They all had something neat to see like the auto museum at The Imperial Palace, the conservatory & fountains at The Bellagio, the lion habitat at the MGM Grand, the masquerade show in the sky at the Rio, the canal & gondolas at The Venetian, and the waterfalls at The Wynn. So much to see...so little time to see it all! The best part about Las Vegas was spending time with TJ & Karen since we hadn't seen them since we left the first part of January. We dropped them at the airport on Friday & headed to Indio, California. We'll meet up with them again mid-March in Ventura, California for their son's wedding.
