Life in Laughlin

Not being gamblers and not crazy about the hotel buffets, we have been keeping a pretty low profile at the RV. It has been very warm, in the mid 80's, but true to desert conditions it cools down quickly as soon as the sun sets. We enjoy sitting outside in the late afternoon watching the day change into night.

The town was very busy over the weekend with 150 youth soccer teams.

Probably half of the rvs in the parking area are staying in the hotel. We've been told they are being 'comped' through their gambling playing/winnings. Seems a risky and possible a costly way to stay in a hotel when you can sleep in your own bed just outside. But that's just us :)...

We decided we found the perfect rig for us and all our hobbies. This wee unit is probably over 75 feet long. Even the cargo trailer has an awning. What a great studio/workshop! Have no idea what they carry in it as they weren't here too long and didn't see much activity other than walking a dog or two.

I've seen a lot of different vending machines over the years but this was a new one. 'Best Buy' filled with cel phone accessories, head phones, and ear buds of every colour. Some people just never leave the hotel. Not too much you can't get on the inside.

Trying to capture the vista of the sun on all the hotel windows. Need a lot more practice but that is what I am enjoying while having this quiet time before we head for home. This will be our last warm stop. Much further north and the nights are down to freezing so we won't be dawdling after we leave here.

Just watched Canada squeak out a win over Latvia...big, big game on Friday!!
