We were up early so we could get to Red Rock Canyon before it got too unbearably hot. The drive out was really nice. We got to see a lot of Vegas, besides the Strip, and we drove right into the mountain on the horizon. Words can’t describe the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. We hiked a lot and took lots of pictures and video. We stayed a lot longer than we thought and the heat was brutal! When we got to the highest point in the canyon we received a pleasant surprise—a refreshing, cool wind. It was really strong! There was a lot more traffic on our way back to Sam’s Town, so the ride was not as much fun. We took a nice nap in the air conditioning, and then enjoyed dinner at Bahama Breeze. This is a restaurant chain that the boys and I discovered on our Spring break trip to Orlando. I highly recommend the Margarita Chicken, and Susan enjoyed a pizza cooked in a wood stove. After that we took advantage of the Arizona Charlies rebate offer for new members in their rewards club. We played video poker for over three hours, had a few drinks, and inhaled the equivalent of a pack of smokes, then had every penny of our gambling losses rebated at the end of the night. It’s a lot more fun to lose when you know you’re getting your money back!
