Welcome To Las Vegas!! Prepare To Loose What You Brought - There Are Slot Machines In The Airport As You Exit Your Plane!
Welcome To The Fairfield Grand Desert Resort.
We Had A Number Of Very Nice Days After It Rained All Weekend.
The Temperature Was In The 60's - Much Better Than The 120 Plus Degrees In The Summer!
This Resort Was Built Within The Past 3 Years & They're Adding A 3rd Tower.
We Had A 1 Bedroom Deluxe Suite - One Of The Few Times We Were Unable To Upgrade To A Larger Room. Everyone Wants To Go To Vegas.
Our Room Was Very Comfortable For The Two Of Us.
We Cook More On Vacation Than We Do In Any Previous Quarter!
The Room Was Very Well Decorated & Well Maintained.
The Whirlpool Tub Was Nice ...
... And We Had A Large Shower.
I Cooked Breakfast For Anita.
Anita Was The Planner For The Week - Searching For The Free DEALS.
The Courtyard Between The Two Towers Contained Two Pools ...
The 'Adult' Pool Was Empty ...
... The Kids Pool Typically Had Swimmers. Both Pools Were Heated.
There's A Nice Hot Tub In The Garden ...
... And A Basketball Court Behind The Kids Pool.
The Resort Is Literally Minutes From McCarin Airport ...
... And The Las Vegas Strip!
They've Got A Shuttle That Runs To Harrah's - Right In The Middle Of The Action!
The Sun Was Settings On The Mandalay Bay Casino.
Anita Had A Sinus Cold For A Few Days But We Did Get Out For A Roadtrip On Thanksgiving Day.
We Stopped @ A Rest Stop In Utah On Our Way To Zion Canyon.
Yours Truely Even Posed For A Photo.
We Approached The Canyon About Sunset (Late Start & A Much Longer Drive Than I Anticipated).
The Colors In The Canyons Were Beautiful ...
... But Not As Beautiful As The Wildlife ...
... And It Got Even Wilder!
We Had Our Thanksgiving Dinner @ Del Taco - One Of Anita's Childhood Favorites.
On Friday We Took An Afternoon Trip To Hoover Dam.
The Place Was Packed & The Elevator To The Generators Broke Down Just Before We Were To Board For The Drop To The Base Of The Dam.
Hoover Dam Was The First On The Colorado River & Forms Lake Meade.
The Lake Was 90 Feet Below Normal - Quite A Long Drought.
I Was Much More Impressed w/ The Engineering Accomplishment Than Anita.
We Made One Last Trip To Harrah's Before Leaving On Saturday - Anita Won $100 On Our Way Out The Door Putting Our Weekly Loss @ $600!
