I eventually got to Las Vegas!!! I don't gamble but it is still one place that I always wanted to go and see and this trip to Los Angeles got me there. In fact it got me there early Saturday afternoon and I wasn't due in Los Angeles till Monday morning, about 5 hours away.

I walked up and down "The Strip", in and out the casino's till my feet and legs ached.

It is an amazing place and well worth a visit just to see the size of these hotels. It is very easy to get lost in them, one often leads to another without going back out onto the street and there are many entrances/exits. I did have to go back out onto the street at one point just to get my bearings again.

It was back to work late Sunday morning and a trip into LA, only about 9 mile south of Hollywood and Beverly Hills and almost right on the seafront at Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica Beach.

I didn't really see anything as I passed after unloading, it was misty and raining, typical after recording record temperatures last week.
