Las Vegas

Finally, after almost 2 weeks, I arrived in Las Vegas.

My first order of business was to find a suitable, and affordable, RV park. The map indicated numerous rv parks along Boulder Highway, and after eliminating several of them, I decided to stay at the Riviera RV Park near the intersection of Sahara and Boulder Highway.

Although I noticed that the Castaways Casino was just down the street from the rv park, I had no idea of the role it would play in our mission.

Martha arrived a few days later and it didn't take long to realize that she "liked to gamble." Not having a lot of money to spare, we would put $20 or $30 in various slot machines during our visits to the Castaways where we dined a lot. I knew that we couldn't afford to keep playing the slots on our fixed income for very long.
