Day 30 - Tuesday 8/27/13 Anaheim, CA - Las Vegas, NV (264 Miles)

We set off today for a hot drive to Las Vegas after a leisurely start (we're pooped out after all of that kid stuff at the park).  Our drive past the Mojave desert proved to be even hotter with highs in the upper 90's.  Arrived in Las Vegas in the middle of the afternoon by which time the temp was 100 degrees...Viva Las Vegas!

We checked into our cheap-o hotel, New York New York Hotel Casino ($50/night baby + 2 free buffets) around 3:00 and took a long walk up "the strip".  My God!..what a mass of humanity...and filth...and sleaze...and decadence...and over indulgence...and sound pollution...and light pollution.

Mom, this one's for you;
Ou est les toilettes?

If this hotel is a representation of what one would experience in NYC, I dona wanna go-ah.  We had a slice of cold pizza that came with a plastic cup of warm beer from one of their restaurants.  YUK.  I guess our good food karma checked it's coat at the door.  I will say though, that the bed on our room was marvelous and we both slept like logs :-)
