September 02 Viva Las VegasWe were a little late getting away so we didn't get to Las Vegas until around 8:30. Fortunately we had Mapquest directions so trying to find our motel at night in downtown Las Vegas was not as difficult as it sounds. We're staying in a Super 8 but this being Las Vegas it's the Super 8 Motel and Casino.
The room is pretty bare bones. There's a small fridge but no microwave and very little in the way of horizontal space. With the laptop in place about the only flat surface available is the sink counter. We'll eat out a lot as it's pretty difficult to make sandwiches and no way to heat something up. Still, it's pet friendly and our choices are limited with Tinkerbelle.
Since we drove in at night you get to see the most amazing thing. On the right, away from the city, it was dark, dark, dark. On the left where the city is, but unseen behind the mountain, there's such a glow of lights that even the clouds are illuminated. And then, out of nowhere it seems, are city lights as far as the eye can see. Fantastic.
We're off to Bally's later. It's cool there and we can get something to eat. The temperature here is currently 42 celcius. It's expected to cool down to 37 during the night. How do people live here?
