What happens in Vegas ...

doesn't always stay in Vegas, at least not this trip! It was great to be in a "real" city again, the sights, smells, lights and all the glamour that comes wtih Vegas was a real treat after being in the desert for what seemed like forever. We are having the trip of a lifetime but Lisa had enough rocks to last her awhile!

We headed over to Sean's (a friend of Lisa's) who lives in Vegas when we arrived in town to drop off the RV and the puppies, Sean offered to watch them while we went home for a few days, what a guy, thanks again Sean! Looks like they had it rough while we were away, Chase lounged around outside under a shady tree and Copper tried to use his Jedi Mind tricks on Sean to get treats, we think it worked, Copper has a way with his eyes!

Before heading to Detroit we walked around Old Vegas, did a bit of shopping at the Outlet, and enjoyed the sunshine of Vegas. On our drive around town we spotted 2 girls (strippers) on swings outside of their club luring folks inside, gotta love Vegas!

After our very quick trip home we picked up the RV and puppies and headed to the Oasis RV Park in Vegas (I know what you are wondering and yes, the RV Park did have slot machines!) If you ever have the need for an RV park in Vegas, Oasis is the place! Our first night we checked out the casino right next to the RV Park, Silverton, we had a really yummy dinner to celebrate our anniversary (4 years) and gambled for a few. The next day Lisa got to lay by the pool (heaven for her) and Troy took to the streets for a bike ride around the area. That night we cruised the strip, Cheesy we know but hey, we were being tourist, went to the top of the Stratosphere to enjoy the lights of Vegas, what a view and headed to the Golden Nugget to play for a bit. (Troy loves to play at the Nugget, turns out Lisa does too as she had a very good night at the slots!) We also checked out Fremont Street in old Vegas - they have recreated many of the old neon signs that once were the icons of Vegas, very cool!
