The final stage of our west coast portion of our trip is to
go to Las Vegas to return the RV and have a look at “The Strip” the journey retraced
some of our steps of Fridays hot journey fortunately a little lower
temperatures but still hot. To get to Las Vegas we have to pass the Hoover Dam
so a visit to the Dam and Lake Mead the Dam is certainly a good example of the
architecture of its time we had lunch in the RV overlooking the dam and had a
brief walk around the top of the dam but it was too hot to do too much walking.
From the dam we dropped down in to Las Vegas it is quite a
sight to see this city sprawled out on the desert with the monster hotels of
the strip sticking out like ice bergs in the sea. Having found our RV park at
the back of “Circus Circus” Hotel and got parked up and services connected we
took to the swimming pool to cool down and getting in to the water was
certainly refreshing I have had colder baths. After finishing the last of our
microwave meals and allowing the heat to go out of the day we went to explore
the strip, it is amazing the ideas that have been used to tempt you in in order
to separate you from your money.
