Rolling, and Let It Ride...

We left the Phoenix area yesterday, landing in Laughlin, Nevada. We have a nostalgic fondness for Laughlin - it was one of our first fun places to RV back in the early 90s, and we've come back frequently. We're not big gamblers, but enjoy the walking along the river walk, through casinos, and the easy access to it all from the Riverside RV Park.

Yesterday, we were down a couple bucks for the day. Literally - $2. Some would say that's cheap entertainment, but we make up for it on the buffets. $7.99 for a prime rib buffet. Go easy through the salad part... oh sure, it's part of their "scheme" to fill you up on that stuff... but, I know my way around a buffet: a dab of this, a bit of that. Then get to the good stuff (prime rib, bbq ribs, carnitas); heck, I could eat $7.99 in corn muffins alone.

My goal these days: not to break the bank, I'll break the kitchen. And then go walk it off.

I remember the "good ol' days" in Laughlin: the $1.99 breakfast buffets, and you could get 2 for 1 coupons just by walking along the river walkway at the right time. Oh yeah, they had $1 blackjack tables back then, too.

Why, when I was your age...
