Back again! Vanessa informed me last night that I was tardy with an update, so here goes. We made it back in one piece. Had fun, walked a lot. Lost most of the time, but as usual, we started winning on the night before we had to leave. Deb won several jackpots on the penny slots. I picked up a couple of hundred on the craps tables the last night. We found a foot long (and fat) hot dog at The Slots-o-Fun (across the street from the Riviera) for only 99 cents. We would get one and half it and we were both full. Drinks were very reasonable there, also. (Beer $1.50) We finally took the Laughlin Tour. Due to a major wreck on the interstate, and construction on the main drag, the bus trip out there took from 8:30AM til noon. We got to eat and play til 5:15 and then load back up. A lot of the casino's were right on the Colorado River. BEAUTIFUL! The water was clear as glass. Not like here. Laughlin is definitely more laid back and peaceful. It's good that they showed movies on the bus, because there ain't nothing to look at on the trip. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. 60 in the morning, afternoon high of 78-80. No humidity. We also noticed, even at night with all the lights, NO BUGS! They even put in a Denny's right next to the Tahiti Village, very convenient. After Deb finally got up in the mornings, we would go to the hot tub. AHHH! Sure helps after walking 5-10 miles the day before. We really hated to have to leave, but the dogs were sure glad to see us. Deb said when I got out to open the gate and spoke, Bear started smiling. Thanks, again, to Jim Younger for keeping an eye on the place and feeding the critters. Good thing he came by, the water line to the cows' water trough broke and he shut it off for me. Thank God for PVC. We sure did miss our water softener, too. Depending on where we were, a beer was anywhere from $1 to $7. Another neat thing, you can get bus pass for $5 that's good for 24 hrs and go anywhere you want. The shuttle from the Tahiti takes you to the strip every 30 minutes, too. We met a lot of nice folks from all over the world at the hot tub. Well, I gotta get to work. Love to all, and VIVA LAS VEGAS.
