We left California into Nevada, then to Pahrump, NV for a birthday party, then on to Las Vegas for the night. This is George Ross at his 88th birthday party.
The strip in Vegas. We could only stand a couple blocks, the traffic was bad and really slow. Our room at the MGM Grand and the slot machines in the casino. It was crowded, smoky, loud and way too busy. Culture shock after the nice desert.
We came to Vegas to shop and to see the Cirque du soleil show Ka. The show was wonderful. Here is ad on the wall, the theater before the show, with flames on stage and the dragon in the lobby. The next day we shopped, Costco, Trader Joes, REI and Albertsons. I bought John some hiking boots for the back packing trip this week for Christmas. I accidently bought myself a nice pair of on sale lighter hiking boots for summer. We saw this rodent on a street corner.
The Calico Hills in Red Rock Canyon on the outskirts of Vegas. This is a view of the canyon from the highway with the Calico Hills at the far end. The mountains on the left have wonderful slot canyon hikes. We camped here a few times and hiked them.
The view coming into Tecopa, California on our way to the hot springs.
