We set off from San Diego ( after doing the SeaWorld thingy) towards Las Vegas. The Garmin was working well until it got heat stroke. Anyway, does anyone recognise this place? Pam said ‘Turn right’ and I thought it was the Garmin speaking…I turned right and there are no sign posts around here! A wee bit hot too.
Travelled part of the old route 66 which has now, for the main part, disappeared. Bill Clinton brought out a law to re-instate some of the old Route 66 signage but souvenir hunters put paid to that. Thus the old “Mother Road” as it was known is now a fractured piece of history. Pulled in to get some petrol and asked this bloke how the credit card pumps worked. Turned out he is with the Sheriff’s Dept at their training facility in California. He is going to arrange a visit to the facility. Look forward to that. The temperature hit 106 F today, similar to temperatures back home in Scotland???
When we got out of the desert we made our way to the Venetian on the strip in Las Vegas. I told the woman at reception about TGM and she immediately upgraded us to the poshest suite in the place. Slumming it here tonight!

Have stayed in the Venetian before....small rooms aren't they?! It's true that anything goes in Vegas, even TGM. Assume you have seen the film "Hangover" on your travels so have some fun but stay away from the chapels!
