Las Vegas
Mar 07 We flew into Las Vegas, stayed at Sam's Town for 4 nights. 2 nights comp so can't beat that deal. We have some maintenance to do on the RV and plan to just chill for the next few days.
Mar 09 Took the RV to Ted Wiens today to install tires. We planned to install tires on the last trip but Camping World messed up so we cancelled. Good thing, this place is a few hundred cheaper.
Mar 10 Went to dinner with Kawika tonight. All you can eat sushi at Blue Fin Sushi & Roll in Henderson. Excellent!!! $24.99 per person but so worth it.
Mar 11 Planned to drive and camp at Valley of Fire today but the forecast is heavy winds for the next few days so we had to change plans. We booked 2 nights at Arizona Charlie's RV Park on Boulder. We've never been here so just giving it a try. $32.26 per night, Good Sam rate. Pretty nice here. We went to the pool and hot tub but not to enticing. Pool was a little green. Hot tub was a little better but loads of chlorine.
Mar 12 Took a drive to Lake Mead National Recreation Area. About 30 minutes from the RV park we're staying at. We always pass Hoover Dam but have never explored this area. It's nice here and a lot to do. We drove out to Government Wash, this is a boondocking area. The road gets kind of bumpy but the views are worth it. Wouldn't mind boondocking here. We drove through Lake Mead RV Village. Pretty nice, got lake view sites for $45.
Our first hike for this trip was the Historic Railroad Trail Hike. The hike is the only remaining section of the Hoover Dam Railroad system that is not highly disturbed or under water. The 3.7 mile trail, constructed on an old railroad grade that goes through 5 tunnels used during dam construction, offers panoramic views of Lake Mead, Boulder Basin, massive crystalline rock formations and the rugged Mojave Desert.
