Laughlin is the skinny little sister of Las Vegas. The casinos are much smaller, the lights not as bright, and the decorations not as impressive. We've managed to sample a variety of food items at them, because we still remember when casinos used inexpensive food as a gimmick to get customers inside, and we thought that we would get good food at a reduced price. Well.....not so much. We did score some tickets for a free breakfast buffet one morning, and it was good if not outstanding. In two of the casinos that we visited for lunch, the buffet was closed, and we had to settle for lunch in a small, out of the way restaurant near the parking garages. At the Colorado Belle, the restaurant was decorated to appear to be part of the engine room of a paddlewheel steamer. Not very enticing, and the burgers (the only choices) were ill-prepared. Yesterday we went to the Tropicana and found a similar situation. The small restaurant in this case was supposed to be a station on the Santa Fe Railroad line. Ho-Hum. The service was slow, the food abominable, and the prices way to high.
Rant. Rant. Rant. Today we'll try Harrah's for lunch, but we have a backup Italian place if that doesn't work out!
We've been keeping moderately busy washing the motorhome and the car, grocery shopping, taking Sasha to the dog park, and cruising through casinos. Not too awfully busy, but we've managed to catch up on a bit of computer work as well as reading. It's been a nice, slow week.
From the off-leash dog park in Bullhead City, the evening view of the Colorado is peaceful and quiet. We'll miss the warm, quiet evenings here. Last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the wind blew at 20 mph, so we didn't get outside much for walks, but the weather on !Sunday and Monday has been absolutely perfect! With some preparation this evening, we'll soon be on the road into California to visit my sister and 96-year-old Mother. Looking forward to it. Then home after all these months of traveling!
