A nice easy drive but surprisingly wet. Yep it rained almost the whole way from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas. Only slightly cooler but it was kinda nice driving a day that wasn't blazing hot.
Today was another crappy day for the Trip Tik and navigation into a town. Not since Monterey, CA have we had such a hard time with the directions once we hit town. Luckily the Circus Circus hotel is well marked on the regular map and right on the strip.
Gotta say, Las Vegas seems pretty tacky. OK, maybe just this Casino but the kids liked the pool best and Jacquie and I were not really impressed. Hiking a half-mile through a multi-level maze of slots and gaming tables just to get to the "show" area only to find a small, infrequently used stage surrounded by carny games was not our idea of fun.
It might be that we are all ready to head home and this is just a stop on the way, but it is not even 9:30 and all the kids are in bed (at their request) and Jacquie has decided that if she really feels like playing some slots she will go in the morning.
For my money, I wish we had stopped at the Hoover Dam and taken the tour. That looked interesting.
