UT OH - I did not do the blog for Boulder CIty.   I created the page as a place holder and told myself, I will do it tomorrow.   Well three weeks later I realized I never went back and did it.  So there is not a lot of detail here.

One of the special things to me about returning to the Las Vegas area by RV, is this is where the idea of buying an RV all started.  Before we left for our Great Loop adventure and being on a boat for a year, Angel wanted to take a "land" vacation.  We decided on Las Vegas.  While we were out and about exploring the area by car, we saw several RV's camping along the roadways (Boondocking).   Angel said to me that looks interesting, maybe when we are done with the Loop, we should buy an RV.  Well here we are!!!!!

First and update on Ken & Cheryl (Turn The Page).  Heading into Knab, they radioed us that they had problems and were pulling over.  They had their motorhome towed to a local repair shop.  It was quickly diagnosed as a total oil pump failure, that caused a seized engine.  Ken opted for a total engine replacement.  Cheryl already had a short trip home planned from Las Vegas.  Ken decided to join her while the RV is being repaired.  Once repaired they will rejoin us, most likely somewhere near Yellowstone.  

Even though both Angel & I have been to Hoover Dam we all decided to tour the dam again.  The tour we took, not only visited the power generating room, but took us deep into the dam walls where we were able to look out the inspection windows in the middle of the dam.  Very cool!!!!

We also took a couple of trips into Las Vegas.  We did limit the amount we donated to the one arm bandits but we did donate.  One stop we made this time was to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, home of the famous TV show Pawn Stars.  It is very over rated, and I think most of their income now comes from "souvenirs"  rather than from the pawn shop.  Yes I did buy a t-shirt.
