3. Vegas was hilarious - great fun - yes tacky, yes commercialised but the strip is immaculate & a scream - the casinos are vast & entertaining - loads for the whole family - not just gambling - stayed here 5 nights as a central base - went to Hoover Dam from here & Death Valley passing Area 51 - Death Valley was 118 degrees at Badwater Basin - keep this in mind if you go in July - fantastic to see & rock colours etc - the pools back at Summerbay most welcome on our return.
