Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort

Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort
Las Vegas, Nevada
Happy Camper Rating 10/10

This campground was more than an RV Park, it was a stunning Resort. The Resort is located just off the main road within walking distance to Target, Kohl's, restaurants and strip mall. The Resort had a mom and pop diner just outside the front gates for campers and general public. The menu looked delicious but we didn't partake in meals at the resort. They had front gate security around the clock. It was immaculate and beautifully landscaped. We had full access to the club house with beautifully designed bathrooms and main swimming pool with a central stone hot tub. There are also 2 other pools located on opposite sides of the Camp. Each Camp site was equipped with a stone drive, patio, grill and outdoor dining set. It was very quiet there. There was very little thru traffic and plenty of shady trees to reduce sun and noise. We had about a 15 minute drive to the Las Vegas Strip. We loved staying at this park. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. ROUGH'N IT!

Day 12 Relocate to AZ

Day 12

Depart LMV Resort Las Vegas
Destination Circle Pines KOA Williams, AZ

June 19, 2015

Today we relocate from Las Vegas to Circle Pines KOA in Williams, AZ. It was about 110 degrees when we left Las Vegas. We arrived at Circle Pines mid afternoon with a slight temp drop to about 95 degrees. After setting up camp, we enjoyed some of the amenities. The boys swam in the indoor pool, hung from the monkey bars and the big kids hit the arcade for some air hockey. The boys made a friend who they played with while I prepared dinner. After our spaghetti dinner, we all settled in for movie night. We watched "Cheaper by the Dozen" 1 & 2. What a great family movie choice! We all had a good laugh and headed to bed. Tomorrow is our big trip to the Grand Canyon!

Day 11 Hoover Dam

Day 11 Hoover Dam

Voss Tour of Hoover Dam Nevada/Arizona
June 18, 2015

Josh has always talked about touring the Hoover Dam so this was our deciding factor on staying in the Las Vegas area to site see both places this trip. We planned on heading out to Boulder City early to beat the record high heat, but things don't always stay on schedule....

On our way out the door, we all had one last potty break before heading out and guess what happened... Mom broke the cable on the toilet lever when she stepped on it. So instead of going directly to Hoover Dam, we had to go to Camping World for toilet parts because they close early. On the way to Camping World Josh had a hard time reading Las Vegas signs and he missed our exit 3 times. That was NOT fun. Eventually we arrived at Camping World and here comes Josh walking out with a new toilet. Parts would take a week to order so we didn't have much of a choice. Then we realized it wouldn't fit in the trunk with all of us in the car so the toilet played back seat passenger for the remainder of the day. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS......

On to Hoover Dam. The drive was beautiful. As we approached Lake Mead, I grabbed the camera. The water was a stunning blue. The bridge over Hoover Dam was beautifully constructed. As we pulled up to the entrance there was security check points. After a brief questioning and look through, we made our way down to parking. It was extremely hot outside by noon but we pushed through the walking self tour of both sides of the Hoover Dam. Later we headed downstairs to the museum and movie portion of the tour. After the Movie about the Hoover Dam, Josh, Carmen and Chandler went on a lower level tour of the operational parts of the Dam down 72 stories. Meanwhile, Colin, Charlie and I went on a visitors tour of the making of Hoover Dam through the Museum. It was pretty neat for the boys to understand how water creates electricity and how the electricity gets into our homes. They also have a better understanding of how the dam helps the water get into certain parts of the surrounding states and how quality of life is better now with water source as apposed to the years before the Dam construction. Josh and the big kids seemed to enjoy the tour of operations. It was interesting to learn some of the facts about the construction period and the events surrounding it. Only 96 men perished during the construction. The entire town of Boulder City had to be built in order to house the workers for extended period of the construction. They were like family, always together rotating work around the clock.

After a long hot day, we settled down at the RV for some yummy kabobs and swim time. I was pretty excited to take full advantage of that beautiful Grill!
