Joni had never been to Las Vegas. Delton had been once before. We are not gamblers, but we couldn't pass up the chance to see what Las Vegas was all about! We stayed at the Oasis RV park, set among palm trees and desert. Pictured is our site, behind the pool. (See our motorhome behind the pool among the trees.
No doubt, the hotels are probably the most lavish in the world. It is entertaining just walking down the "strip" (Las Vegas Blvd.) and looking at all the glitz. Pictured are some samples of the glitz.
New York New York is a hotel built to look just like New York City, with the sky scrappers and the Statue of Liberty and the the bridges. The inside looks just the streets of New York and the food was just as good.Treasure Island had a free nightly pirate show outside their hotel with real pirate ships, cannons going off and fireworks. It was great! (See Photo)
The fountains at the Bellagio were wonderful. Each fifteen minutes they had a water fountain show where the water danced to music. The pictures we took cannot do justice to how entertaining it was.
Circus Circus was a circus! We saw a free circus show inside the hotel, which was like going to a real circus. The shows were every half hour and were different each time. Pictured are what we saw - a trapeze act and acrobatic
balancing act.
We got to see a magic show - The Lance Burton Magic show. As we were walking around the hotels, we were approached by a time share solicitor and were offered a free show and diner for spending a couple hours listening to their pitch. We felt it was worth it, so we did it. Lance Burton made cars and people disappear and re-appear. It was great.
We were disappointed that some of the old, famous hotels were destroyed and replaced by new bigger ones - with higher prices.
One day during our stay in Las Vegas we decided to go to Hoover Dam which was only 30 miles away. Unfortunately we lost all the pictures we took while we were at the dam. Sorry! Joni was surprised at how narrow the channel was at the dam's location. It was impressive.
