Refuge in Vegas


There was no way that we could stay in the truck and sleep with the heat, it's Vegas baby, it's supposed to be hot right? So at the truck service desk they told Gary about this hotel called the Silverton, didn't sound bad, all we really needed was a shower, a bed and a pool would be really nice about now. So we got ahold of them and they had a room at a reasonable rate, we were told it was just across the street, good thing we drove over there cause it was across the street but a long ways back probably close to a mile away. We were just expecting a little hotel, wrong, it was huge, it was actually a hotel casino lodge, what ever the heck that is? The parking lot was so big it had a tram driving people up to the front door, it was decorated like it was a lodge in the woods, it had bass fish boats in the parking lot, there was a Bass Pro Shop. It has hundreds of rooms, a pretty large casino area, right inside the front doors there was this huge aquarium and water falls, it was a really nice place. Unfortunately we were so tired that after a quick swim, shower and some dinner we were exhausted and went to bed. Since Gary has worked in the casino for the last 8 years we don't gamble anymore, so when ya don't gamble, drink or smoke Vegas is a pretty boring place, so we were really glad to be leaving Vegas.
