This is our third trip here, so we've already experienced the Strip via "the Deuce" and seen a bunch of the long-running shows and visited most of the casinos and eaten at most of the buffets. So we're relaxing, decorating the coach, checking out the Escapee's park in Pahrump ("over the hump to Pahrump") and, of course, getting the Christmas goose (in this case Cornish game hens) from, where else, the RVer's best friend, WALMART.

The Holidays - Las Vegas Style
The highway from L.A. to Las Vegas, Interstate 15, is one of the most traveled routes west of the Rockies. So we had plenty of company rolling into one of our favorite preserves - just a few minutes from all the action, either on the "Fabulous Las Vegas Strip" or downtown on Fremont Street.

Vegas has added a major new resort in the heart of the Strip called City Center - naturally very impressive, with the anchor being a new hotel called Aria, and it is definitely operatic in splendor. Six very high-rises and a monorail to take you between.
