Vegas!

  We weren’t planning on stopping on this trip west but our daughter and son-in-law made a spur of the moment decision to come to Vegas –we were in the neighborhood (what’s a few hundred miles when you have your house with you!) so here we are in Vegas!

  Vegas is very wheelchair friendly – wide sidewalks,good curb cuts, good ramps and elevators at  many of the street crossings. Sometimes the elevators are hard to find. Most are underneath the escalators but some are inside of the casinos. The strip is between three and four miles long. If you get too tired ,the strip bus is accessible. Strip bus

  Parking a RV in Vegas is tough. Many of the casinos along the strip will find a place for you to park if you have a room in their hotel. There are a few places off the strip where oversized vehicles can park-the Orleans where we often park and the Rio. Parking is also available behind Ballys , a few blocks off the strip and the Stratosphere at the far north end of the strip.  Sleeping in your vehicle in Las Vegas may be illegal. I can’t find any laws about it but the casinos that do allow overnight parking don’t want you to look as if you are camping – no levelers, no unhooking of cars .etc.  There’s also a KOA at Circus,Circus that’s really just a parking lot with hookups and is pretty expensive ($44.00 – $80.00)but it’s the only option on the strip if you don’t want to dry camp.
