Well, we survived yesterday and it went off without a hitch. I think even Michael’s dad Mel would have been happy about the way I handled our RV on these Las Vegas roads!
We called for bell service yesterday when we were ready to load the RV and requested that the RV be brought out front of the hotel. What a sight to see our little RV pulling in front of the Caesar’s Palace circle drive flanked by limos and taxis! Our bell hop was quite impressed with it. He peeked inside and was just in awe that we could snack, use the restroom, and watch our flat screen TV while traveling down the road. He even called a buddy over to check it out. Then we pulled out onto Las Vegas Blvd. Talk about white knuckling it! Traffic was pretty light since it was before noon, so Devin found an IHOP using his Google Maps, so off we went! Well, about a mile down the highway, Devin suggested we might want to stop and get gas and sho’ nuff; it was empty! We pulled into a Circle K next to the IHOP and promptly filled ‘er up! The IHOP was a mob scene so we settled on a McDonald’s breakfast and by this time we all were so hungry, it tasted great!
Laundry was next on the agenda and I found a nice , little Laundromat not to far from our new digs. I was so proud of myself, I even sat in the turning lane for quite awhile before turning into what looked like a small parking lot. Michael always warns me to make sure I know the way out before pulling in with the RV, because it’s so difficult to turn it around in tight quarters. The lot opened up nice and wide in the back and I backed it into a space, so I wouldn’t get blocked in. Easy-peasy!
After laundry we decided to see if the room was ready and it was. We’re on the 9th floor and have a wonderful view of the stip and mountains. After a little rest, we donned our swim suits and headed for the pool. There are 3 pools and 3 Jacuzzi’s, somehow sitting in a Jacuzzi when it’s 105 outside just doesn’t appeal to me.
We met up with dad for dinner and walked next door to the Gold Coast Casino and ate a familiar restaurant; TGI Friday’s.
