Our RV Adventures Blog

The chronological account of our travels. Like most full-time RVers we'll babble on about all the mundane aspects of our daily lives. Some will find it interesting, and others will use it as a sleeping aid. Either way, we've done our part.

States where we've camped in our RV since Sep 1, 2004. Driving through doesn't count.

We’d received notice that the power would be off Thursday morning 6:00am till whenever. Knowing that it would be hot in the RV without power we decided to splurge and get a hotel room. Mac booked us two nights at the El Cortez Cabana Suites for about $25 a night. Not a bad deal at all!

We arrived Wednesday evening and the whole place is so 60’s retro and it’s not that the place hasn’t been done since then either. The whole place was redone recently and they went very 60’s with the décor. It is quite interesting.

Thursday afternoon we drove back to the RV and checked that the refrigerator worked properly and it did. We adjusted the air-conditioner and headed back to town.

We ate dinner one evening at The Flame Restaurant at the El Cortez.

June 25 – 27:

We had reservations at Bally’s on the Strip for this weekend. After checking out of our room at the El Cortez we ran around and did a few errands before checking in at Bally’s. I played video poker to my hearts content but unfortunately no royals this week.

We ate at the Le Provencal Restaurant at Paris one evening and it was outstanding. I had an excellent soup and a chicken dish both with parmesan cheese, so tasty! The soup was so great and I’ll be searching for a recipe and recreate it at home.

Saturday afternoon we went to see Mac King and the show was so entertaining and funny. We had a great time. We would definitely see this show again some time in the future.

That evening we went to see the Frank Marino’s Divas Show at the Imperial Palace. It was also a good show. Mac enjoyed the show more than me. I wasn’t as entertained as he was.

We checked out Sunday night and headed back to the RV. We were tired and so happy to get home to our own bed.

June 28:

We had dinner plans with our friends Dan and Barb this evening. So after work today we headed to downtown Vegas to the 4 Queens Casino. We ate at Hugo’s Cellar. It was a wonderful dining experience. There were a lot of little touches that made the whole meal relaxing and wonderful. We would definitely eat there again!

We walked around the casino and noticed that it didn’t have a smoky smell like many casinos do. We finally figured out that it’s because the doors are open onto Fremont Street and it lets a lot of fresh air in. We’re thinking of coming here and playing some in the future so that we can earn points for these wonderful meals.

Nothing much to report for the last couple of days in June; we worked and relaxed at home.
