Red Rock Canyon

In search of a reasonably priced breakfast on the Strip, Andy and I ended up at Denny's. It had a full bar. We stuck with coffee.

We stopped in at Casino Royale. I played $20 on slots and cashed out when I was ahead. They advertise your first $20 is on them and I had a player card but we couldn't get it to load the $20 for me. Maybe because technically I was ahead?

After breakfast we checked out of our room and drove to Red Rock Canyon. The drive was pretty.

Lots of Joshua trees, which were neat to see.

Don't feed the burros or horses.

Good view of some red rocks.

Pretty scenery.

It was very bright.

We still had a couple of hours to kill so we stopped at Station Casino, where we were lured in with $1.99 margaritas. They were very sweet. We didn't gambe but we watched football. Then it was time to head to the airport, return the car and catch our 5:15 p.m. flight -- during the Bears vs. Rams game in the divisional playoff. I grabbed a couple of matchbooks they had sitting out. Smoking is allowed indoors everywhere in Vegas and some of those people were smoking stinky things.
