Last week, we decided to drive to Las Vegas (2 hrs. away). We left mid-morning, and the drive didn't seem long with new scenery to view. After a stop at Camping World, we drove to the Las Vegas strip. What an amazing sight! There were people all over the place, and the casinos were awesome! We decided to walk along the strip and check out the various buildings, as each one was built to reflect a certain style. I think my favorite was the Luxor, although we didn't get to see it until driving through on our way home, when all the lights were on. It was an Egyptian pyramid with a large statue of a sphynx in front of it. A beacon shone out the top of the pyramid, and the rest of it was outlined in lights. A once in a lifetime visit -- we had a lot of fun!

After we saw the strip during the day, we went to "old Las Vegas" on Freemont Street. It was lined with shops and casinos, and covered over the top with lights. There was also a zip-line which went about 1/2 the length of the street. It was fun to watch the brave souls who chose to ride on it! No, we didn't even contemplate taking a turn! Unfortunately, the second half of our day, the wind kicked up to gale-force, so it was difficult to enjoy the outdoors. Below are a couple of pics from Freemont St.
