Sun 26th -
We continue our drive thru Utah, lots of mountains in the distance as we drive thru the valleys, then up & down mountains, 6160 ft elevation is the highest sign we see. Very beautiful scenery.
Thru Arizona corner & already seeing the red rock/adobe colors. Into Nevada, arriving in "Lost Wages" around 3:30. Timeshare is very easy to find, one block off the I-15 & the Strip. We get into our 1 bedroom apt, the bedroom is bigger than our motorhome!, near a heated pool & hot tub. Ahhh this is heaven for 5 nights! We get moved in & go out for a walk & nice dinner at Steakhouse 46 at the Flamingo, steak & chilean bass, great service. Gerry has not been here for 25 yrs, (remember, Danny & Joanne?) so there are lots of changes, even since I was here 4 yrs ago. We try out the poker table & the slots, with some good results. We start to adjust our time clocks to fit with the Sin City schedule & stay up a little later!

Mon - out for a long walk after breakfast all the way down the strip in one direction, up the other side, find a 1/2 price day of ticket place & purchase Second City Theatre tickets for tonight. Found a nice lunch place Red White & Blue at Mandalay Bay Casino, hop on their free monorail up to Excalibur Casino & walk to Bellagio to pick up our reserved tickets for Cirque du Soleil's "O" on Wed night. Back to the room & enjoyed the hot tub & pool. Cooked shrimp dinner & then out to Second City, which was very funny improv. - all original topics, lots of fun. A little more gambling after at the Flamingo. The poker table is taking our money, the slots are generously giving some back! A walk to explore the Paris Casino, imagine you are in France, awesome dessert crepes enjoyed at a Creperie! On our way home we found a great band playing at Bally's - Kass I - all motown music, Temptations, etc. This town never sleeps, so we try to stay up past midnight to see some of the sights!!!

Tues. - lovely sunny day, relaxed & enjoyed the pool side chairs, sun tanning, met a couple from Victoria. I had a great run down Flamingo Drive, G went for a long walk, shorts weather. Then out to hunt down a dinner at New York Casino. Found an excellent Italian - Il Fornaio Cucina, seafood soup, calamari & salads, so yummy! Then off to Coyote Ugly Bar & Dance Casino to see the dancing girls & shots from the stage into your mouth for females wanting to take the stage also. Stand up bar only & the drink prices confirmed that we are paying for those shots!! Music was great & that was an ....experience....! Walking thru the casinos is unbelievable, all have many gamblers, bars, restaurants, fun everywhere, what a fun place! After gambling for awhile (same results as last night), we sit down at a New York bar & watch the band "Michael Grimm", then take the monorail to Bally's & walk from there. Nights are cool & breezy.
