24th-30th October 2011 - Las Vegas NV - RV Resort

We stayed at the Las Vegas RV Resort which is one of the few sites in our huge Trailer Life catalogue to have a 10-10-10 rating. The site is excellent and the view with the mountains behind is quite something.
Many RVs tow an ancillary vehicle behind. This seemed a little over the top - but this is Las Vegas...
Class A motorhomes are huge and expensive (especially the diesels), but some have a toy box behind. The triple axle indicates this is a heavy unit. It is colour coordinated and the whole rig must be well over $1M.
Next to the last unit was this one with twin(tag) axles and three slideouts. The diesel engine is 500HP and it obviously also had a tow-behind. There must have been over 20 $1M units on the site at any point in time.
Of course there were some smaller units like this 'Bigfoot' caravan. It is still bigger than our unit in Europe.
But for many this was the star unit on the site. The caravan is known as an egg and it was towed by a Mini Cooper.
Both units were registered in Switzerland. Sadly we never got to talk to them but they ranked as one of the more intrepid travellers we have seen.
The resort is next door to Sam's Town casino which has its own RV sites on either side. It is about half an hour from the Strip and operates a free hourly shuttle to the centre.
The site entrance looks as smart and tidy as the site. Despite the fact it is bordered by a major four-lane highway it was incredibly quiet. And for once we had no railroad nearby to keep Jan awake.
