Day 41: Fri, 7/21: Las Vegas, NV

Day 41:  Fri, 7/21:  Drive from Salina, UT to Las Vegas, NV


The alarm went off early so we could try to beat the mid-day heat we knew was coming.  We drove from Salina straight to Vegas—about a 5 hour drive.  After checking in at the KOA RV Park at Sam’s Town Casino, we immediately hooked up the electricity and turned the AC on to 88 degrees!  That was to try to get the 105 degree inside temperature down by the time we would be back later in the evening.  We then quickly walked to Sam’s town to seek shelter from the sweltering heat.  After a fine lunch of Subway in the air conditioning inside the casino, we saw the movie The Secret Lives of Pets at the theater in Sam’s Town.  After that, we went downstairs and bowled 2 games inside the casino—still beating the heat.  Sam took the kids to the arcade next and Andrea played some craps.  We then ate dinner at the buffet and afterwards, Sam played some blackjack/craps while Andrea took the kids back to the arcade.  Andrea won $100, Sam lost about $20 and the kids felt like winners with all the tickets they got and prizes they bought.  Around 9:30 pm, we headed back to the RV and slept poorly in the heat of the night with the AC running all night.
