The beach on Lake Mead keeps getting farther and farther from the road

Who needs to go all the way to Paris?

This is our last day in Las Vegas. Of course, the weather has been beautiful...it IS the desert, after all. Hot, but not uncomfortable. Great place in small doses. I'm not a desert person, I need more green in my surroundings. Although...I seriously could get used to LOW humidity!

I took a little little break from blogging. My daughter flew in and stayed with us for a few days and I didn't want to take the time away from our visit.

She arrived here on Sunday and left this morning. It was wonderful to see her again and have some girl time. She wasn't too fond of this city. She's more of a small town girl and this place is so larger than life, that she felt a little uneasy on the strip.

We had a fun time, these five days at Las Vegas. During our stay we visited, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York New York, Palazzo, Wynn, Paris, The Venetian, Treasure Island and maybe a few more...and left 'donations' at most of them.

Also, we went to The Lion King at Mandalay Bay and the exhibition 'Bodies' at the Luxor. It creeps some people out, but unless you are a surgeon, you'll never have an opportunity to understand the human body any better. Super exhibition!

Took my daughter out to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. I think it's something everyone should see when staying in Las Vegas. Really a tribute to American engineering, and the new bridge spanning the gorge is nothing to sneeze at either....should be completed next year. Those bridge workers have got to have big ba....uh, I mean, they must have NO fear of heights!

Time to wrap this up because we are going to have a long travel day tomorrow. As usual we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Oasis RV Resort. Very highly recommended, easily the nicest place we have stayed in ALL of our trips around the United States.

Now, it's almost 'Midnight at the Oasis' so I need to get to bed.
