After arriving in Las Vegas at 3 in the morning with one of our brakes smoking, we set up and tried to get some rest. We finally got everyone going around 10am, and needed to fix our brakes before we could go any further. The office recommend a guy that lived in the park and was very reputable. I called him and he said go enjoy your day and I will take care of everything. So, we did. By the way, at 10am it was already 104 degrees outside. We drove to the Hoover Dam and could only stay for about an hour. It was so hot, we saw it and left. On the way back, made a pit stop at Lake Meade then went back to the RV resort and jumped in the pool to cool off.
Above, we're standing on the dam so you can't really see it, and below is looking the other way towards Lake Meade. The color difference you see on the rocks is where the water should be. They are currently 100' below normal water levels and are starting to panic a little. Everyone has been talking about the monsoon rains set to come in the next two weeks.
We parked at New York, New York(Thanks Janice for the recommendation). It was overwhelming walking the strip. By the time we got to Caesars Palace, we were all tired of walking. There is so much to see and especially with the kids, you cant really do everything you would like to. But we all got to see many things, weather we wanted to or not. By the way, if your hungry, you better eat on the strip or before you get there. It cost us $65 for four slices of pizza, a calzone to share and 3 drinks at the food court at Caesars Palace. OUCH! Mike and I could not relax the whole time, always watching the kids and making sure they were okay. Josh didn't really care for as much, but Sarah loved it. Mike and I will definitely be back without the kids one day.
Caesars Palace
I don't know who enjoyed this more. Mike or the kids?
