We had a short drive from Bullhead City to Las Vegas that started with a 16 mile climb out of the Colorado River Valley. The Journey did a great job pulling the grade and we were in Las Vegas in less than 2 hours. We are not big gamblers but do enjoy the shows. We saw the very funny ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham, at Planet Hollywood and then the new Cirque du Soleil show, Zarkana at the Aria. Both shows were a lot of fun. Josie was a great sport and we ate dinner one evening at Pinks Hotdogs on the Strip. Pinks is a famous Hollywood, California eatery that we have eaten at a few times when visiting that area.
We had a pleasant surprise when we found out Josie's son Michael was coming into town on business. We had a great 2 hour dinner with him and were so busy catching up that we forgot to take a picture. On our final afternoon we met Scott's mom Elaine for long lunch. It is always good to see her.
We were able to give the Jeep some TLC after all the off road trips she has taken us on. We had new tires and brakes installed, so we should be good to go for a while now. I did get out to the Henderson Bird Viewing Area one morning and found a few great western birds. We will now start heading east.
