The first couple of days and not a lot to tell. A cab ride from the airport, via Paris to see the Israeli Superpharmette before she flew back to Tel Aviv, south away from the Strip to the South Point Resort and Casino which is a huge golden yellow building out into the Valley. A barn-like casino full of slots and slots and slots with C &W musak through the speaker system. Not a 'sophisticated' place but rather blue collar America on vacation. Good facilities at very reasonable mid-week prices. A huge bedroom with a 42" plasma screen TV, an 8 screen movie theatre on site together with a 64 lane bowling alley and a big pool outdoors. Go and see Shrek 3; a good movie.
Day One was hot, hot, hot. Temperatures in the 100s and strong winds blowing dust in from the desert. So much so that the pool area was closed in the afternoon for safety reasons. The Man from Dayton arrived yesterday to surprise me so that was my pre-birthday treat that everyone appears to have known about except me. But then it wouldn't have been a surprise otherwise. He's here with us today then flies back home when we check out and onto the road tomorrow .
