about an hour and a half to settle our meal as we strolled between
machines and out the door. We walked slower on the return to the
motel and looked in the windows of the souvenir shops, debating what
would be good gifts for whom, and planned to make some purchases
the next day.
The morning broke brightly and we were full of energy. We
were to meet Joe's brother at 9 am. We dressed hurriedly and rushed
out to the meeting place without even thinking of breakfast. We were a
little early for the appointment but they were there ahead of us. We
enjoyed a leisurely breakfast together and decided to do some
shopping before lunch. My sister- in- law had a list of what she wanted
to find, and that meant going to specialty shops. It proved interesting
for all of us.
We found a poster on the street somewhere that Dean Martin
had a dinner show in town. We went back to our motel room and
phoned for seats. Whoever was on the phone gave us the wrong
information, because when we got there and were ushered to our
reserved table, we were too late for dinner. We could order wine only.
Neither Joe nor I like wine and we were more than disappointed. We all
enjoyed the show and hoped we could still get something to eat, but
were told that the kitchen was closed. To say we were disappointed is
an understatement!
Here we are, dressed to the nines. It is now 10 pm and none of
us has eaten since noon. What to do? We drove aimlessly down the
street. The only place that was still open, other than the casinos, was a
MacDonald's. " It's better than starving until morning!" so in we went.
Talk about some weird looks! How often do you think someone dresses
in formal attire to dine at MacDonald's? That said, we went each to our
own motels for the night and planned to meet again the next morning
for breakfast.
We spent a second day with my in- laws and ended our tour of
casinos at " Circus Circus." Now there's a place that fascinated me! On
the main floor was the casino with all the usual casino tables and
machines, but the second floor was a world unto its own. Here, you
had the full Circus atmosphere! On the circumference of the building
was the midway, complete with rides, games and eateries. In the
center was the circus itself. They had trapeze artists, someone who
had taught dogs a bunch of tricks, another who had monkeys doing all
kinds of unusual things and, of course, clowns and tumblers, it was
wonderful fun!
The next morning Joe and I bid farewell to his brother and
sister- in- law after breakfast, drove out of the desert's " Fun City" and
