Gaming...

No, this has nothing to do with an X-Box or a Wii. We've been in Laughlin for almost a week and will be heading back to the Tropical Tip soon. Laughlin is a gambling town... that is also very RV friendly. Yesterday was the first day I came out even... lost $5 in the morning and came out $5 ahead in the afternoon. We are not "High Rollers" ... in fact, I might go as far as saying that any casino that would track our spending would want to revoke our Player Cards. When our week here is done, if I continue my current trend, I will have spent on gaming for the week what I would spend on one trip to the movies... with popcorn and a soda. ;-)

We have enjoyed walking through the casinos, love the view from our 5th wheel in its site up on the hill. The weather has been cool and windy, but it hasn't gotten below freezing at night. Izzy misses the site we had last year, just across the street from a grassy area, but has been fascinated by all the birds (mostly pigeons) nearby.

I've enjoyed the buffets. (burp) And seeing all the different RVs. This park is quite full, even mid-week. Not something to sneeze at when you consider all the free RV parking to be had in Laughlin - most of the casinos allow overnight "parking" (not camping) for up to 14 nights. So, it seems there are lots of folks like us who would rather have a plug-in and cable TV, when you look at the occupancy here.

Seems that folks are out, about, and traveling this winter.
