After cleaning up, we got our day off to a good start with the breakfast buffet at the Riverside Casino. I may not come out ahead after a bit of gaming, but I make up for it on the buffet... especially when there is bacon involved. And besides all the usual breakfast fare, they had lunch stuff, like a taco bar, Italian dishes, BBQ pulled port, brisket, and beef burgundy. In the words of the philosopher Arby's: we have the meats. So, I came out even more ahead, especially with that $2 off we got for flashing our casino players' card. ;-)
After breakfast/brunch, we did a bit of touring around - all the high points: a drive along Casino Row (this is obviously not high season here, judging by the number of open spots in the parking lots), a stop at Sam's Club for cheap (well, less expensive) gas, a trip to Wally World... and then some actual sight-seeing.
It has been a while since we went to Kathryn's Landing and Davis Dam (no "n") - rugged scenery and blue water...
Yes, I enjoy the curvy roads, even when we aren't on the scoots.
Lake Mohave (I thought that was supposed to be a "j" instead of the "h'), formed by Davis Dam across the Colorado River...
There is a plan for a walk along the casinos on the river, but that might have to wait until tomorrow - the wind has kicked up (not unusual here) today.
We have reservations for the Prime Rib Room this evening. Another nostalgic stop here.

Ahh, the prime rib room - I love it. Especially their horseradish. I asked the waiter what it was, and they said they bought it and it was called Atomic. Enjoy dinner. I am interested in hearing what the price is nowadays. I can't remember for sure, but in the 90s it was like $9.99.
Hi Jeff - good to hear from you! Hope you are feeling better. The Prime Rib Room is now $27.99. Good value, considering. Last time I had prime rib at a restaurant in Phoenix, it was more than that and not as tasty. I had the prime rib, Joan had baked salmon (which she said was excellent). Salad bar, sides, and desert options. Service was excellent. A nice view of the evening overlooking the river. In and out in 45 minutes. Things are pretty quiet in Laughlin right now, but the Prime Rib Room was busy.
That's "dessert" options. Only desert here is the Mohave.
The buffet restaurant that I frequent has employee t-shirts: stressed = desserts spelled backward. Priorities....
I like that. I also like desserts. You don't get a body like this without maintaining it. For full disclosure, I had a small(ish) piece of sugar free chocolate cake - it was pretty good... which is a compliment for anything sugar free. ;-)
When i was in engineering school the popular bar was called The Library. That way if your parents called, your roommate could say, ""He's at the library". Their motto was: Great beer bellies are made, not born. Have a sandwich with every pint.
I like that. Reminds me of the TV reporter who had a boat named Assignment... "He isn't here right now, he's out on Assignment."
