Mesquite to Laughlin

Laughlin by night.

Laughling by day




We enjoyed ourselves yesterday in Mesquite. Got up in the morning and took a walk. (Sue is again trying to walk me healthy). Walked to the Casablanca Casino. About a half mile down the road. This place was the largest of the three paces near where we were parked. Played a bit and walked back. We went back for dinner as we had a 2 for 1 dinner coupon. Traveling makes you cheep. Stopped at the Oasis on the way back and used up the earlier gambling tickets. All in all I think we came out even in Mesquite.

Left this morning and headed south to Laughlin. Trip was again uneventful. Ran into a bunch of traffic in Las Vegas. We were going to stop for lunch but it was a mess. Stopped outside of town and had some homemade ham sandwiches. Yummy. Got to Laughlin about 2pm. Same place we stayed last year. Up on the hill overlooking the casinos.

After parking we went to the Riverside and got tickets to see Mark Chesnutt. Not too bad only $28 bucks each. And we have almost front row seats. Same place we saw Frankie Avalon last year. While we were running aroundstairs we ran across some machines for brother Mike.



Went into the casino and did the gambling thing. I lost $25 bucks but came back to a $6 buck loss. Went out the back door to what they call the River Walk. This is a walkway from one casino to another. Get the idea. Well we walked to the Aquarius. Spent a little more money there. One good thing about the casinos in Nevada is that the give you free drinks as long as you are gambling. Too bad the Indians in Washington don't do that. Saw some spookie stuff left over from last night on the walk .

The RV park here is nice. It's on a hill over looking the strip. Short as it is. Cable TV, shuttle and all the normal stuff. We will be staying here thru tomorrow night, then on to Surprise, Arizona and Happy Tails. One week from moving into the races. Its nice and warm here. Was in the 90's this after noon. It is 77 outside now at 7:30 PM. Think it is going to be even hotter in Phoenix.


We ran out of some groceries and had to go to the store. Thougth Steve would like to know that there is a "Times" everywhere.
