Las Vegas

Not much to report today.  Took a drive around Las Vegas and checked out a golf course up by Sun City (it's a Del Webb village in Summerlyn).  Nice facilities, but we have definitely decided not to move to Las Vegas - too much traffic and too much heat in the summer (not that we ever gave that much consideration.  Below is the view from the golf course/fitness center parking lot.  It's on the far western reach of Las Vegas.

 

Later we took a drive around 215 and were amazed at how much the northern and western parts of Las Vegas have grown.  There are new plans for huge subdivisions - one in the north and one in the south.  Looks like the housing recession is over down here.

Ended up at Nellis AFB and checked out the facilities - then drove over to Sam's Town.  Back to the hotel for a light dinner at Paris.  Thought you might like to see the view from our floor.

Looks like this city is going to go crazy this weekend with the NCAA tournament starting up.  Glad we're leaving on Friday!
