We arrived at the Grand Canyon and went out to the Western part of the Southern Rim to watch the sunset. It was really beautiful and we took quite a few pictures. Surprisingly, the Rim was pretty cold, but thankfully we had packed jackets. There were so many people from different countries and so many driving rented RVs.
The morning we saw a deer cross by our window. We saw some of the Eastern part of the Southern Rim before heading out. We sat in traffic for 1 hour getting past the Hoover Dam, mainly due to a security checkpoint and general congestion. In Vegas, we stayed at Caesar's Pallace and got a free upgraded room. The hardest part in Vegas was sneaking the cats in a rolling suitcase all the way from the parking lot, through part of the casino, past the shops, up some stairs, down some stairs, and then finally up to the 27th floor. We had a great view in a nice room. We ate at the Bellagio buffet which was great (sushi for me!) and lots of sweet stuff for Michelle.
The next day we walked around the Strip a little. We ate lunch halfway up the Eiffel Tower of the casino Paris and watched the Bellagio water show from 10ish stories up. Even more impressive the higher you are. Michelle won some money playing slots and I won some playing poker. We also saw a Trapeeze Act at Circus Circus in between playing. Anyone can win money by signing up for a players card and then taking advantage of the free promotions you get. For example, you and a friend can go to Saharas and sign up for a card. You pay $10 for $15 in promotional chips, but you can't just cash them back in to get those extra $5. Take them to Roulette and place 15 chips on red and 15 chips on black (far left side of the betting area, where you win 1-1). You have a 94% chance to make $15 in red cashable chips, but you also lose $15 white promo chips. Take those red cashable chips and move them to the losing color until you have lost your promo chips. As long you don't hit green 0 or 00, (5% chance), then you will turn your 15 in promo chips into 15 cashable chips and make those $5 a piece.
We left Vegas, smuggled the cats out, and then headed to San Clemente, CA. We made it! Yeah!
Thank you God for not getting in an accident or having car trouble!
