Vegas Baby

March 7 - 14/2015 Weather unseasonably warm, 10 degrees above normal this week 74 to 80, nights mid 50's.  Stunning !!!  We are lucky again.   The drive from Laughlin to Las Vegas was short about 100 miles, with some elevation climb as the city sits at 2,001 feet above sea level.   We are coming from being on a a slow burner (Laughlin) to the frying pan ( Las Vegas).

Oasis RV Resort Fountain from the Lobby
Oasis RV Resort swimming pool
 Our campground is south of The Strip a couple miles - Oasis RV Resort.   It is a huge park, very busy and quite nice.  Where are we?  Look at that outdoor fountain from the lobby with fancy etched glass doors and marble floors .....and a resort swimming pool.  Wow!!!  Hey it's Vegas:)
Welcome to Las Vegas  (Harley Davidson Dealership)
We have never been to Vegas before.   Not kidding.  And "no we haven't just crawled out of a RV cave".   Ha ha.  We don't gamble but there are so many things to do in Vegas we are sure to have a good time.  Drinking, Dining, Shopping, Shows, Attractions, People Watching, Events, Sports, oh yeah Gambling too!   What to do first?   Let's go to the Strip.
Luxor Casino and Hotel - looks like a glass pyramid
New York New York Casino and Hotel
Paris Casino and Hotel - looking through the fountains from the Bellagio
Tickets for shows?  Got two for Jeff Dunham at Planet Hollywood - he is a comic ventriloquist.  Puppets.  Really  Hilarious......we never stopped laughing for two hours.  
hilarious show
Driving and walking down the strip is a treat;  the casinos are incredible pieces of architecture and you never know about the people!
Show girls.... love the boots?
