Hawthorn Suites Las Vegas

Hoover Dam On our way back from the Desert lands, we crossed over the Hoover Dam. Security has been tightened due to the fear of a terrorist attack, with the need for all cars to pass through check points when entering from either side. A new highway is under construction as well as a new bridge which will take you over the canyon instead of over the Dam. Interestingly the border for Arizona and Nevada runs right through the centre of the dam. The water levels looked pretty low, and we have t...

June 3 Up and over to Flamingo for a quick swim. The adults only GO pool that we wanted to check out today was closed. Bummer. The main pool deck area was packed, but we managed to find 2 lounge chairs. I went in swimming but L said it was too cold and only went in to her waist. Swimming under the waterfall is great fun, with the water pounding a massage into your back. Back to Bill's and checked out. Went up the Eiffel tower - great view of the strip. Not as high as the real one so L actuall...

We eventually made it as Vegas after a very long trip!! After leaving our hotel in Hawaii, we had a 6 hour wait to get a one hour bus to the airport. We then had a 5 hour flight to L.A. We had already decided to go straight to Vegas, so we then had a 6 hour bus trip to get there. We were glad to check into our room!

We seem to spend a long time looking into hotels, looking at reviews, then deciding which one we should choose, and it's a hit or a miss really. I have to say, this was de...

What a place and what a treat! We booked for four nights in the 'Desert Rose' a hotel room with 2 bedrooms and a great calm and cool restful base to go out and look at the 24hour 365 days of a year city Las vegas - the city that never sleeps. What a wonderful surreal crazy place -we couldn't quite believe our eyes as we strolled around Las Vegas Boulevard known as the 'strip' . We spent most of time visitng and admiring/ gawping at the many and incredible megacasinos (in their heavenly air co...

After our trillionth visit to Starbucks to load up on juice, lattes and classic donuts we were all set and headed off once again in the RV back across the Mojave desert. This time it was a 2 and a half day marathon of a road trip (just under 500m) stopping off twice to get to the North Central Califrornian Coast of Monterey. As the RV doesn't really tolerate going more than 50 we take our time but get there in the end.

We wanted to drive from Monterey down the coast to take the pictur...

Aamiaisen jälkeen ajelin muutaman minuutin matkan kanjonin reunalle. Kell oli jo yhdentoista pintaan ja parkkipaikat täyttyivät nopeasti. Näppäilin etusormi ruvella vielä muutamia kuvia ja kiertelin kansallispuistoa. Iltpäivällä suuntasin Vegasiin. Haeskelin vaihtoehtoisia reittejä ja löytyihän niitä. Ilalla kahdeksan aikoihin takaisin Vegasissa. Kirjoittauduin hotelliin ja tallustelin huoneeseen. Olin varannut huoneen isojen kasinohotellien alueelta Stripin läheltä mutta parisataa metriä poi...
