We headed north to Quartzsite and filled the RV tanks with fuel and propane. We were going to spend the night there, but we shook the jello and just stopped at Hi Jolly BLM land, north of Q, and unhooked the Jeep. We headed into Blythe and dropped off Christmas gifts for Donna's 2 grandkids, Brock & Mia.
We got back to the RV and re-connected the Jeep. Then we were off to the Avi Casino in Laughlin, NV.
There were many RVs there, more than we have seen there before. We did 2 nights there and were glad we didn't stop for the night in Q. The wind howled all the next day.
Then the next day, the 20th, we continued north and checked into the Thousand Trails in Las Vegas.
They really pack them in here, but you know what they say ... location, location, location. And our daughter Kim was flying in to spend Christmas and New Years with us. We will be here 2 weeks.
On the 22nd, we picked up Kim at McCarran airport. Then back home, we decorated the RV for Christmas.
This is the latest we have decorated, but they did a good job, and we are ready!
We have been quite busy here in Vegas. We went to Sam's Town Casino. It was close to us and they had a really nice Christmas display and water/light show.
We donated a little $$$ to the casino via the slots. And on Christmas day, we all went to the buffet there. Kim left there with an additional $100.00. Merry Christmas Kim!
We spent some time down on the strip. Pretty cool Christmas display at the Bellagio, and the fountain show. We wandered through Ceasar's Palace and watched the free show there too.
We cruised the strip and headed downtown to the Fremont area. Lots going on here.
They had a good sized tree.
A busy place. Even people zip lining along the ceiling.
Two bands playing there, including Elvis!
Kim getting her giant 'Vegas' drink.
We had some visitors while here. Nancy & Steve came to visit us. They were visiting some relatives in town. We all went out to eat at The Omelet Shop, a 50's Diner. Just a small little place to eat, but it was great. Good food, prices, atmosphere, and service.
One day we took a road trip. We drove around Lake Mead, through Boulder City, and south to Laughlin. We stopped in the Colorado Belle at Pints Brewery for a drink.
After cruising through Laughlin, we headed to Oatman.
Route 66!
And burros!!
We grabbed a bite to eat at In-N-Out and headed home. A fun and long day.
Still much to do and see before the New Years crazy weekend. Kim leaves the 2nd, we head to Q on the 3rd.
Stay tuned ....
Merry Christmas! Looks like you had a great time, it is always interesting to walk the strip to take in the sights and sounds of Vegas.
