We broke the drive from Yosemite to Phoenix by stopping in Las Vegas for a night. On the first 7hrs of the journey we saw 1 gas station (eek!), 3 brothels and an ice cream parlour!!! It had to be the most tedious journey of all time! Vegas then loomed upon us......
We arrived to 106 degrees and a dust storm, so we walked 'the Strip' with our eyes closed- and declared it was probably the best way to do it! We saw the amazing dancing water outside the Bellagio, and some of the weird hotel fronts. The pirates at Treasure Island refused to climb the mast in a thunderstorm (meanies!)and cancelled the show, so we jostled back along the road with the crowds. Busy, loud, bright and brash, and a total assault on the senses- and despite the amazing pools in the hotel (5 pools- lazy river, wave pools etc...)it was an experience we would not wish to repeat in a hurry!
Back to Phoenix via the Hoover Dam, more spectacular scenery, and a journey a million times more interesting than the previous day!
