"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

G Schenck · 10-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Patsy, one night try to go to Nora's. It's an Italian place that is good and low priced. It was recommended to us about eight years ago by Nicky "Jegs cook" and now we don't leave Vegas without going there. 6020 West Flamingo Road. It's off the strip but always crowded.

Well we have just been relaxing and enjoying the casinos the last couple of days. I haven't even taken a picture! We did try out the Blueberry Hill Restaurant yesterday and ran into Dic Geary there. The food was good. We have also tried the Buffets of Buffets for the last day. $44.95 for buffets for 24 hours at 7 different places. If you bought just 2 meals you would pay that much. We also went to see "The Rat Pack is Back". It was a pretty good show.

No, Dennis we didn't try out the zip line downtown. It didn't look like fun to me at all. I don't like heights. And Larry didn't know if it would hold him!

Well more tomorrow!

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.

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!

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.

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.
