Ev and I left here the morning of the 17th, driving to Las Vegas. We stayed with our dear friends Mike & Maryann Mohoff in Reno over night. What a great “bed & breakfast” 
.. The cooked us dinner and breakfast! Great friends.
We headed out on Wednesday morning driving the longest leg of our journey. It took us about 8 hours to finish up the drive.. Pleasant drive, no traffic to really speak of.. and the drive is really straight.. Desert and more desert.. The scenic places were “hey” look there is a “brothel” every hundred miles or so. We had lunch in Tonopah on the way down at the local casino on the south end of town.
We arrived at our destination about 5pm.. checked in to the resort and went and relaxed by the pool. Temps that day in Vegas were tolerable, but soon would be heating up!! 
Our overall stay was a week and the temps were in excess of 100 most everyday. Morning temps were already nearly 90 degrees.. ICK!
We did our convention stuff.. Never been to Moose International Conference before, it was very educational and fun.
Pam my co-worker and friend was also at conference with her sister, Bev that was getting her award for her “College of Regents”. She was thrilled! Pam and I will be too, when we get ours!
We did go see a show at the Rio, “Rat pack is back”, probably don’t waste your money to go and see it. Wasn’t very good.
Ev and I did walk through a lot of the new casinos.. Probably shouldn’t play the machines in the Aria, they just take your money, no pay backs at all.. , put 20 bucks in and got nothing at all! I guess this is the only way they can keep this EXPENSIVE casino to the higher standards!! YICKS! Very modern, I like the Bellagio and the Flamingo the best..
Ev and I didn’t gamble much.. We decided to do some shopping instead. Shopping in Vegas is fabulous! Well anything is better than what we have in Lake County.. We didn’t leave our money on the tables in Vegas.. We left our money at the stores and got something for it!! Got a visual?
Ev got a new pair of cowboy boots!! What a handsome guy! Love those legs!! woo hoo!!
We only cooked dinner once while we were at the condo.. We only had time to really sit by the pool an hour here or there.. And besides when we were at the pool we had to be in the pool most of the time.. too hot to sit and get a tan..
We left early Wednesday morning the 25th and headed home.. We stayed at our favorite bed & breakfast again with the Mohoffs! We decided to stop in Hawthorne, NV to have lunch at the McDonalds there.. Hawthorne is an ammunition's area for the Air force I believe.. While at McDonalds Ev decided to play “Slim Pickins” in Dr. Strangelove and ride the “bomb”!
On this trip, my back was out and I got a cold..
But managed to still have a wonderful time! Got to see long time friends that I hadn’t seen in a very long time! Did some great shopping, experienced the conference, had fun with hubby! Enjoyed the beauty of Vegas lights! Fun times were had!
After leaving Mike & Maryann’s on the way home we stopped on Hwy 20 to check out some of the lakes along the way… We came upon the Editor/Owner of the “Fish Sniffer” magazine.. Him and his buddy had caught some fish and asked if we would like them. Of course I said..
We arrived home late Thursday afternoon..Fun times..
