Back To Las Vegas

Road Trip Days Twenty Six and Twenty Seven

Up early after our night of boondocking we were soon on the road to Pahrump a further hour away. As we entered the town we stopped at a nice little Internet cafe for breakfast and checked out the local accommodation options. We found a few RV parks and liked the looked of 'Nevada Treasure' which promised a pool and hot tub. 

Our plan was to stay the night in Pahrump and return the RV to Las Vegas, another 60 ish miles away, for 11.00 hrs the next day. Anyway, the RV Park was lovely and we had a great afternoon messing in the pool, reading books and letting GC eat some Easter treats before retiring to the van for a night of tidying and packing.

The next day we were away by 09.20 hrs. Twenty minutes later than I hoped but the rubbish dumping and other last minute things just took longer than expected. The drive into Las Vegas was straightforward but we got caught in some road diversions once into the city which added another quarter hour to the journey. By the time we had stopped for fuel to bring the tank up to full, we arrived at the CruiseAmerica depot dead on 11.00 hrs. This was the latest we could return it and not be charged extra - phew!

The RV handed back we were into a waiting taxi to the Monte Carlo hotel on the strip within minutes. The luggage valet took our bags and gave us a ticket in return. She informed us check in was between 15.00 and 17.00 hrs but they might let us check in early...and they did. Bags were delivered to the rooms, we unpacked a little and then went to explore the pool area and then onto the strip for a wander. We had a late lunch at the Eiffel tower and then popped into Venice for a wander. Busy day but GC loved the city which she christened 'Fairyland'.
