We headed East today driving on I 15. We climbed 4000 feet over a pass and down into the Mohave Dessert. Stopped for gas in Baker CA and Elaine snapped this picture of an outside thermometer. 104F!
Almost to the Nevada border we came upon this interesting solar plant. Many mirrors focusing light onto a single spot to create heat. I think the exit sign said Spotlight.
We met up with a longtime friend of our son Matt, Ryan Sullivan who lives in Las Vegas. Ryan took us for dinner in the Madallay Casino complex.
After dinner Ryan took us for a car tour of the "Strip" and dropped us off at the Venician. Here is a view of the Paris (?) Casino with the Eiffel tower. The Las Vegas Strip is like Times Square times 100 and runs for a few miles!
The art in the Venetian was pretty incredible. Here is a view of Elaine in one of the great halls.
They also have an indoor canal system. Incredible but part of the norm in Las vegass.
The next four pictures are of a plaza in the Venetian were we bought some gellato and sat and watched all the Chinese tourist take pictures.
We left the Venetian and through the Palazzo Casino and here is a view of the lobby of the Palazzo . We took an Uber back to our rv site in North Las Vegas.
