Pre-RV: Las Vegas-great eats, crowded and hot!

We arrived on Thursday evening in 107 degree temps-only got a few degrees below that all week. Saw a couple of shows including Penn and a Teller who were mesmerizing and incredible. Our special splurge was a dinner at the famed Picasso restaurant in the Bellagio–five courses, each better than the next while watching a spectacular computerized water show. The restaurant contains 11 original Picassos as well. A delicious and beautiful way to start our trip.

We are hoping for good luck renting our RV in a timely manner tomorrow. Reviews are very mixed, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed.In the Conservatory at the Bellagio Hotel
