Viva Las Vegas

We left Albuquerque on Sunday, Oct 13^th and arrived in Las Vegas on Mon, Oct 14^th after an overnight stay at Meteor Crater RV Park, Arizona, the half-way point, and one of our favorite RV parks.

We spent the week at the Oasis RV Resort on the south side of Las Vegas.

On Wed, we went to the musical Jersey Boys, at The Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino, about the story behind the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. It was very, very good and we’d recommend it to anyone our age that grew up in the 60s and 70s.

On Fri night, we went for dinner in Margaritaville, in the Flamingo hotel, because we’d heard that Jimmy Buffet sometimes shows up for an impromptu performance when he’s in town. We didn’t see him though.

 

We had tickets for his concert on Saturday night at the MGM Grand and took in the pre-concert pool party at the Flamingo. It was our first Jimmy Buffett concert and we had heard a lot about his fans (called parrot heads). We thought we saw Jimmy Buffett, but it was a fan dressed up like him. 

 

The Jimmy Buffett concert was amazing and we really had a good time on Sat night. We left Las Vegas on Sun morning and headed across Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, towards Mission, Texas (near McAllen) to spend a few weeks visiting Julie’s sister Cindy and brother-in-law Terry, who manages a RV resort there. We’re really looking forward to two weeks of hanging out and relaxing after the 1,500 mile drive from Las Vegas.
