We just got a speeding ticket in Utah 🙁 Oh well, it was probably bound to happen sooner or later.
Our last activity with Carol and Ben was going to a casino and out to dinner. We went to the Riverside Casino in Laughlin, Nevada and gambled away ten dollars in one dollar bills. We got ten dollars in quarters, but I won it all back plus some extra! I used the extra ($3.50) to buy an ice cream cone that Kelsey and I shared.
We went to a Mexican restaurant called Iguana’s for dinner on our way out of town. We had a great meal and took photos down at the river. We said our goodbyes and headed off for Vegas. Thanks for putting us up and showing us around, Carol and Ben!
We drove the hour and a half up to Vegas and rolled in at about midnight PST. We poked around and saw the sights and took photos for about an hour. We gambled away each at the Bellagio (didn’t win anything). We waited for the water show thing out in front of the Bellagio, but I guess they turn it off after midnight. Oh well. We rolled out of Vegas around 1:30 AM PST for Emigrant, MT by way of Salt Lake City, UT.
We got our speeding ticket at 7:45 MST by a very nice police officer. He reduced the fine a bit probably because we were extra nice to him. We had a conversation about DC — it had been about 13 years since he was there last. He sent us on our way, and now we are less than 200 miles from Salt Lake City. Still working on photos … sorry we’re so behind!
