Funny because it's one of the places I have on my list, if I ever go to Las Vegas. All the people, with lights and entertainment, amazing sites, and I rent a car so I can go to Valley of Fire. I never did the drive through of Red Rock Canyon, which I feel I missed. I have been to Bonnie Springs for the Bank Robbery, the trial and the hangin', just once. While it was hokey, it was a happy little place, now I feel that losing that site was kind of sad.
We haven't been to Las Vegas in years. It's good night entertainment, but day trips, especially Hoover Dam and the like, and another one that's missed is Overton, the resort fees, parking and expense for tourists like myself and my wife, where we aren't gamblers, are just too much of a distraction. Last trip, while she had her nails done, I found resale shops in the area. Who goes to Las Vegas to check out resale shops? We visited over a dozen.
Yeah, hot and dry, that's Las Vegas. 104 in October.
Valley of Fire was free when I was younger. And here's a suggestion for photo type people, it's still worth the fees. The first time I went to see it and walk around, we went in the morning, and left at Sunset. I waited for the mountains to light up. Not the right day, no photo. I could go now at Sunrise, walk all day and still wish I had more time.
Sorry to hijack the theme and thread.
