Las Vegas

A typical getaway morning for us. After a delicious breakfast of Nabisco’s finest shredded wheat, Dianne got the inside of the trailer ready to go while I drained holding tanks, unhooked water, sewer and electric and put chairs, tables, grill and all the other outside crap away. Finally, we hooked up the trailer, said goodbye to the snow-dusted hills and hit the road.

With a little bit of effort, we found the KOA at Sam’s Town in Las Vegas.

We paid our fees (this place is not cheap), drove to our site, got our electric, water and sewer hooked up and finally sat back and downed an imported beer (from Colorado).

We have an end site with actual, real grass, a leaning table and four Adirondack chairs — all this for only one arm and a leg.

For dinner, we walked through the neighboring Sam’s Club Casino and discovered a glass-roofed atrium complete with foliage and a towering waterfall.

Here, we had steaks and wine with one of Dianne’s fellow LifeVantage peddlers and her husband who are also camping here. With all of the actual real plants surrounding us, it was like dining al fresco with neither wind nor bugs.

If I had to come back to Las Vegas and stay in a hotel, I’d consider this place.
