Apr 8th to 10th - Mesa to Las Vegas

Apr 8th – Fri – Mesa
Gloria came with us to the Mesa Marketplace where we had breakfast before shopping. We got a vase to fill a blank spot and Gloria got a fruit picker so we were both happy. When we got back we did laundry and stopped on the way back to visit with Phyllis who was one of Terry’s dance partners last fall. She broke her hip but is walking now and waiting for a clearance from her surgeon so she can drive when she gets home.
Dennis & Gloria came over for a drink so Dennis could see our new purchase. At 7 we went to their place to play cards with Steph & Garry as well.

Apr 9th – Sat – to Las Vegas
We got up early and were on the road at 7:15. It is so nice to travel on a weekend and not worry about rush hour traffic. We stopped to fuel up the truck and ourselves in Kingman and as we climbed a little hill out of there hit some snow. We slowed to 20 mph and put on the four-way flashers for 2-3 miles until we were down the hill and the snow stopped. There were warnings about high winds on the Hoover Dam bypass bridge and a sign recommended that high profile vehicles not go over the bridge but we had no problems at all.
We are staying at Main Street Station RV park again. It is very basic but has full hookups, is inexpensive ($19) and is within walking distance of Fremont Street. When we went to the hotel to register, we stayed and gambled for a couple of hours and came out even. After dinner, we walked to Fremont St and played slots for several hours and spent $29 which is cheap entertainment.

Apr 10th – Sun – Las Vegas
The RV park is right beside a freeway but the traffic noise is not bad especially since it was cool enough to have the windows closed. In fact it was downright cold yesterday.
We had coffee and then drove to the Rio casino and parked in their parking garage. We had breakfast there, gambled and then walked to 2 other casinos. Next we drove to the strip and found parking at Mandalay Bay. By the time we finished gambling there, I was ready to head for home and watch some of the Masters golf tournament on TV. Unfortunately, it was nearly over by the time we got back.
After dinner, we walked back to Fremont Street to gamble and watch CRAZY people. Terry won $269 on a bonus playing 40 cents so that will help even things out while we are here.
