Our trip to the Southwest was GREAT!! And HOT!!!
We flew into Las Vegas on Tuesday. Drove down the strip, saw the sign! We stayed in Paris Las Vegas. So nice and really fun. Just cheesy enough. Hey, we were in Vegas, got to have a little cheese!
It was an easy flight and so fun to be in Vegas, just to see it for a little while. And the little while is what had me worried. My luggage didn't make it to Vegas. And we were heading out the next morning to start driving to the Grand Canyon. Yikes!!! So what I had on was what I toured Vegas in. It was not the most comfortable stuff. I really wanted my walking shoes - which were in the suitcase. And a tank top - which was in the suitcase. We played the "it's in the suitcase" game for a while. It was kind of funny. But then kind of not. The airline told us that there was a 99.9% chance that I WOULD get my luggage that night. Huh. Pretty good odds. And in Vegas even! But the airline didn't call all night, like they said the would when the bag was delivered to the hotel. So I did a little preemptive shopping. To see what I could get the next morning, if indeed the bag didn't come. A prospect that really wasn't that exciting after we thought about it. Money and time would be wasted.
We walked around the Strip and got to see Vegas in the daytime - and at night (just for a litle while) - the lights and the Bellagio fountains and even the Mirage Volcano!! At 1o:30 we headed back to Paris... and we checked with the front desk... Yea!! I've never been so happy to see my bag! I had pajamas and toiletries and everything that I had been checking off my list all afternoon!
The next morning we did a little more sightseeing in Vegas - went up in the Effiel Tower - the views were amazing!
We drove down past Lake Mead and then over the Hoover Dam. We didn't stop because we had lost LOTS of time waiting in construction traffic. About 1 1/2 hours. In the Nevada heat. Yuck!
Then we drove Route 66 to Williams, AZ, stopping at a diner for onion rings and milkshakes along the way!
