On Friday, we said our goodbyes to our new friends and made the short trip to Las Vegas. And the scenery – more WOW!
If you look really close in the center of the above picture , you can see the Las Vegas Casinos – the very tall one is the Stratosphere.
We are staying at the Elks Lodge in North Las Vegas – a very nice place:
We took a drive down the strip. Whenever I go to the strip, my good memories of my mom flood back of the good times we had here during our Mom and me weeks – I miss her.
Dave and Nina came by this evening and we had a great time chatting and getting caught up – it is so good to see them.
Stats for Friday:
Miles Traveled: 82 miles
Routes Traveled:
Nevada: SR-160; I-15; Cheyenne Ave.; Van Der Meer Street
On Saturday, the four of us went to Fremont Street area. We had breakfast at the California, made our donation to the slots – :-), and walked around and chatted.
Here is the famous Fremont Street. At night they have a light show under this canopy.
Andy and Nina taking a picture of me, taking a picture of them – LOL!!
We stopped in the Golden Nugget to look at their swimming pool. Notice the tube in the aquarium – it is a water slide.
How about this shark in that aquarium – how about those teeth!
Another view of the pool that goes around the aquarium – yes, folks, it is warm enough for swimming!
And all of us in front of Aladdin’s Lamp that was originally installed in 1966 at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. This lamp is part of the “Neon Village” where some of the old Vegas signs are being restored and put in various places throughout the city.
From there we made a stop at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to see some of the driver’s practicing.
We spent the rest of the day, visiting at the MH and going out to supper. Dave and Nina, THANK YOU FOR A GREAT TIME. We will see you again.
One last picture:
Tomorrow we are heading to the Escapees Park near Congress, AZ. Andy has a doctor’s appointment on Monday in Sun City, AZ for a checkup.
Stay tuned!
