Day 8: We made it through Death Valley, stopping at Stovepipe Wells, Furnace Creek and Badwater. It was hot, desolate and well yeah that's about all it was.

Kelsey got to drive for awhile, but there isn't much else to say about it. I guess like Four Corners, at least we can say we've been there. The temprature got to 110 degrees before noon, so I was glad that we were leaving for Las Vegas.
The trip to Vegas was easy, the scenery was getting boring by now, but every once in a while something would catch our eye. We were able to see the city from 20 miles out coming into the valley. Made our way up and down the strip a couple times in the vehicle as it was still at hovering around 100 degrees.
Finding our way to the hotel, we were pleased to find that it had a free shuttle to the strip. We napped some of the afternoon away and then took the shuttle to the strip as the sun started to set. We couldn't talk Roger into going, but Kelsey loved it. I felt that it was too crowded and noisy.

We went to the MGM Grand, New York, New York, Tropicana and Excalibur. They all sit across from each other at an intersection and have pedestrian bridges from one to another. Kelsey loved it, I thought it was to crowded and noisy.

Stopping to get something to eat made us miss our planned return shuttle, so we had plenty of time to take in the sights while waiting for the next one. We wandered in and out of casinos and shops and Kel found a refrigerator magnet. I thought it was too crowded and noisy.

Boulder Dam and Grand Canyon tomorrow.
