Left a very hot Phoenix 111 F (42 C) and drove to Las Vegas. From I-60 we took Route 93 practically all the way, taking in a bit of I-40W/Route 66 and then back on 93N. There are only two real towns to speak of on the way. One is Wickieup, where we stopped for lunch, and the second is King We also passed through Bolder City and Hoover Dam and saw Lake Mead.
The road itself was really interesting as it weaved its way through hills. Some parts of it were beautiful, and it was hard to believe that they weren't sculpted by man.
We arrived in Las Vegas and found the Bellagio (not that Satty was of much help). A lovely hotel but the lobby is like the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv! The room is spacious and very comfortable.
Showered and then had dinner in the hotel. Y was feeling very tired so went to bed and I just had to do a little recce of the Strip. Fascinating place. The temperature must have been in the high 30s even at night!
