Sin City

It seems that both vehicles decided to breakdown at the same time. After my ordeal getting the Pick Up fixed I returned to find that Road Hazard's jacks were leaking bad. It was causing the RV to become un-level. After a quick phone call to the local Camping World they agreed to see us but we only had 45 minutes to get there. We quickly packed everything, put the awing away, and disconnected everything to get there within the time frame. After discovering that a solenoid had gotten loose they checked out the rest of the system and we were back home. Our reward was to sit in the pool and try and cool off in the 90 degree water temperature. The air temperature was 109 so it felt a little better in the water.
In the evening we decided it was time to have a little fun in Las Vegas. We got all dressed up and headed of to explore the night life. The drive in was great to see all the lights and all the people walking around.

Our first stop was the Venetian Casio. It is modeled after Venice, Italy. They even have the canals with the gondolas and the guys singing. It was interesting to compare this to the real thing having been to Italy only a couple of years ago.

We went to the bar and tried our luck at Video Poker. The nice thing is if you sit and play any game you get your drinks for free. After we lost our money and decided to walk around and see the sights.

With all the lights and colors inside and outside competing for your attention it can get a little overwhelming. It is easy to find a comfortable place to sit and just watch all the activity. I'm always amazed at those people that put a pile of chips down on the table. After they lose it all quickly move on like it was nothing. I can't help but think about how many gallons of Diesel I could have bought with it. After months of not wearing dress shoes both Reta and I were ready to take our shoes off. Our feet were killing us. Next time we promised to wear sandals out.

Vegas. You got'a love it!
