Patsy, if you like downtown there is a real nice steak house at the top of Binions. Nice and quiet, old school waiters and very good food at a reasonable price.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Floyd, we have eaten at Binion's on previous trips to Vegas and that is definitely on the agenda for this trip.

We just went out to the track to check on the motorhome and a few more people are here, but still not a lot. They should be parking us on Tuesday.

We are going down to the pool now for a little sun. It is nice here. It was too hot to sit in the sun in Phoenix. You wanted to stay in the shade all the time. Looks like it is going to be in the 70's for the race. Looking good all week.

Check out the free tour of the Caroll Shelby Museum that is across the street fron the dragway.I think you guys would enjoy the tour.Have Fun!

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well we went out to the track and dumped the motorhome over at the Nascar track and got ready to pull in and get parked. Still don't know whether it will be tomorrow or Tuesday or Wednesday. Nobody is out there yet that can tell you anything. As we were leaving to go back to the hotel, we saw Toby Lang arriving at the track. I haven't seen his name on the list, but did he win the race last year?

Well more tomorrow. I will try to get some pics of the awesome facility here in Las Vegas. We will be out there to stay tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well we are back at the track for the next 2 weeks! Nothing much happening out here today. Looks like it will be tomorrow to get stacked and parked on Wed.

Well the jets are flying over and are really impressive. President Obama is supposed to be in Vegas about noon. They say he is flying into the public airport, but with Nellis Air Force Base right here, I wouldn't be surprised if he will be here. I will try to get a shot of Air Force 1 landing if it is here.

More later.

Yes please! Post a picture of all of our tax dollars supporting his campaign.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well I have discovered how difficult it is to take a picture of a fighter jet taking off or landing. I just took a few shots but you will have to look for the little black dot to see the planes. Maybe I will get the hang of it before the week is over.

Nellis Air Force Base is right on the other side of the street behind where all the trucks are parked.
