June 22nd Las Vegas

So, we weren’t impressed by Las Vegas. The city away from the strip is not pretty at all, and the strip just has a bunch of lights and naked girls. The casinos looked cool and the few that we went into were impressive, but I could leave it and not have missed it. we stayed at the Tropicana (and it still looks as if it were in the 50’s) because there were not a lot of options in the “cheap hotel” range. At least it was a shower and an actual bed (with mirrors on the ceiling-yuck!). We walked around the Venetian Hotel and that was really cool because it actually looks like the canals. We ate at the casino called “New York, New York” in an Italian restaurant with some of the best fresh pasta I have ever tasted. By the time we were done eating, it was midnight and we had seen enough of Las Vegas. All we wanted to do is sleep in a real bed. Off to Death Valley tomorrow.
