Gas:  St. George, UT

Lodging: Las Vegas, NV

We packed up our campsite and made our way to Las Vegas.  Now most of you would think, awesome...two guys, Vegas...oh wait, we were only 19 years old.  There are not a lot of things to do in Vegas when you are below the age of 21.  But we still had a fun time there.  We stayed at The Holiday Inn on the strip, which was the steal of the trip.  We got a double room, on the strip, for only $30, and that's including taxes.  

Anyway, we headed to New York, New York and had lunch there.  we then headed over to MGM Grand and hung out around there.  We thought about hanging out and watching some games in the sports book, but we weren't even old enough to do that.  We walked around the strip and visited a few stores.  In the early evening, we took in an all-you-can-eat buffet.  That was nice because we hadn't had a lot of food to eat over the last few days.  We walked by Treasure Island and saw their pirate show.  We saw the Stratosphere  off in the distance and it looked like it wasn't very far, close enough to walk.  Well, looks can be deceiving.  We walked, and walked, and walked.  It was a lot farther than we thought.  We finally made it and traveled to the top and took in the view from the top.  We decided we would take a cab back.  We first went to the Fremont Street Experience and saw the show there.  It is a light show that is syncronized  to music.  Following that we headed back to the strip and walked around for a while looking at the Vegas nightlife.  Finally we headed back to our hotel and went to sleep for the final time on the trip.
