Trip to Las Vegas

Hello everybody,
Haven't put anything on lately so thought I would let you know about our last week, or so. We left Mesa last Tues. and drove up in the car. Left the MH on our spot at Mesa Spirit, and came to Herb and Margie's here in Vegas. We had planned to stay with them Tues., Wed., and Thurs., and go to Rito and Lucy's for Friday and Sat. Then Lucy had a free room here at the Red Rock Hotel for us tonight. Rito has had a bad week and we weren't able to stay with them so we just stayed at Herb's until today. Rito is so subject to any type of infection and he has been running a fever and vomiting so we didn't want to take him any other type of germ. We came to their house this afternoon and Lucy had a couple things for me to do for them, one was put a new valve in a toilet and another was to fix the light on their house number, which just took a new bulb. Only had to go a short distance to a Home Depot to get the parts and while I was fixing them, Dolores and Lucy ran over to this Hotel and registered for the room. We were able to talk to Rito from a distance, briefly, as he was in his hospital bed in their room, and we were down the hall. We also picked up some things that they wanted us to bring back to Illinois for their girls.
This room at the Red Rock is probably the fanciest room we have ever had. We are on the 11th floor and our window is to the east and we can see the entire valley with all the lights of the city and the strip. We are probably about 10 miles west of the strip and in the Summerlin area.
We fixed some things in the house that Herb and Margie are renting, and ate out a lot. Played some Bingo and slots but didn't do very well. We did get to see another friend who lives here plus a couple who gave us all the freebies a couple years ago. Dan and Jan came out from Minn. on Tues. also and took the Dunnes out for supper on Thurs. night. They let us know where they were going so we were waiting for them when they got there. The Dunnes were really surprised because they didn't know we were in town. Delmer and Eleanor Walden got out here today, that's Fleta's sister and her husband, and called, and we are going to meet them for breakfast in the morning. Then we plan to head back to Mesa.
We might stop over in Laughlin if we don't get out of town here very early, as we will go thru there, but doubt it.
We didn't bring our camera with us and are disappointed as we would have liked to have taken some pictures from here tonight to try to put on here. Guess we will have to do it next time.
