Back in Nevada

Almost on the home stretch now, back in the sandy state of Nevada. But first, look at this place we found on the way out of Grand Canyon National Park - definitely putting this on the list of must-visit accommodations for next time!



Ah, Nevada. Staying in casino hotels mid-week is really cheap. We wound up staying in Laughlin, which is right on the border of Arizona and Nevada - I gather the town only popped up to accommodate some casinos and an outlet mall, so the citizens of the Arizona borderlands can pop over state lines to gamble whenever they feel like it. The heat out here was IN-FREAKING-TENSE, way hotter than even the deserts of Utah, so it's really no wonder that all people want to do is sit in the air conditioning and play slot machines.

The view from the room. Glam, no?

Appropriately pastel resort wear

The view again - more inviting by night, perhaps?


The casino did have some appealing stylistic touches

 And cocktail swords were plentiful, much to Raccoon's delight.
