Well we "did the strip" last night.... which for us means we drove up one side and down the other, watched the fountains at the Bellagio, and then had dinner at a restaurant inside the Planet Hollywood building. We spent the night at the North Las Vegas Elks Club - pretty basic, but economical, and you get a complimentary beer at check in. A storm hit in the middle of the night, and of course this was the one night we failed to cover up the lawn chairs so they were soaked this morning. Fortunately, it's been too cold today to worry about sitting outside anyway.
The storm left a very artistic layer of snow on the hills surrounding the city, and was still sticking in a few places as we worked our way over the hills to our next stopping point. Our travels took us through Laughlin, which we've never visited before. Beautiful landscape - varied geology and a veritable jungle of cactus, yucca and joshua trees. We're parked tonight at the Escapees North Ranch park in Congress, Arizona. Pretty basic, but it meets our needs. A rain and ice pellet storm blew in just as we were setting up. . . .this is spring in the desert!
Sorry - no pictures.... you know what they say, what happens in 'Vegas stays in 'Vegas!!
