THE BEST IS YET TO COME...

Arizona Charlie’s Casino & RV Park, Las Vegas, NV: Woke up really early again this morning. The sun comes up so early, and then I can’t get back to sleep. After lunch we headed back to the old part of the strip to see the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop featured in the History Channel “Pawn Stars” show. Mike wanted to see it. It was only a couple of blocks from Fremont St. where we were last night, but we didn’t know it. A lot of people there. We walked around the shop a little and then headed down to the main strip. Wanted to check out the parking situation at Caesar’s Palace before we go to the Celine Dion show on Saturday. Got the lay of the land and then went and parked behind the New York, New York Casino. I love this casino! On the outside it looks like the NY skyline and on the inside it looks like little NY neighborhoods, including subway stations, and there’s even a replica of the lobby of the Chrysler building. Left there and then walked over to the Excalibar Casino where we split up and I played the penny slots and Mike played the 25 cent slots. Back to the NY Casino and had dinner at a really nice Italian restaurant. Really good food and excellent service. Then walked over to the MGM Grand Casino which is really huge. Got lost in there. Played electronic roulette. That was really fun. Mike was winning big time. I lost of course. Walked back to where we parked and back to our site. Did a lot of walking. Tired.

The motor home around the corner from us has three bulldogs on the dash waiting for their owners to return. There's a fourth dog peeking out on the left. Wow! Four dogs!
