Colleen and I decided that a trip to Las Vegas was in order as I had never been before. She arranged for a two night stay at the
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

The drive from Phoenix to Las Vegas takes just over five hours, all great highways. The vistas along the way are spectacular. Desert, mountains and buttes.
Boulder City and the
Hoover Dam are just before you get to Las Vegas. We didn't stop this time as we only had a day to do the Vegas thing, and by the time you take the day to drive there, and the day to get back to Phoenix - well, there goes your three days.
We arrived about 3 pm and got checked-in. The room was really nice, and lo and behold a soaker tub, which I was really missing since the home on the desert only has a shower. After a soak and a cocktail we headed out for dinner. We met up with Colleen's friend Linda from
White Rock and walked the strip checking out the lights and hotels, etc. This place is really over the top, as anyone knows whose been here before.
