Harrah's RV Plaza (Laughlin, NV)

After a week visiting with Deb’s folks we head out for Pahrump. We had a great time despite the fact the both Jim and Bobbie were suffering from hay fever. I never thought the desert would be a place to suffer from hay fever but I am informed there are many allergens in the air here especially this time of year. 

We changed our plans to stop for the night in Wikieup, AZ  on the way to Pahrump. Now we are going to make the longer drive to Laughlin, NV.  Now we will only have a short drive up to Pahrump.

We stopped for fuel at Love’s Travel Stop at 7001 W. Sundust Road, Chandler, AZ.  They have RV pumps which were open when we arrived and we were able to pull right up to the plumps. When we left there were several RV waiting.

Wednesday, March 31th, we arrived in Laughlin late afternoon. We came in from the north and had to the south end to Harrah's RV Plaza. Their lot is asphalt, striped and the parking spots are numbered. You have to register at the Shell station (has diesel) at the entrance to the lot. Five dollars a night. The lot is fenced and there didn’t appear to be any security concerns.  When we left Harrah’s I noticed a better looking RV lot on the opposite side of the street at the next casino to the north. We passed it coming in but I didn’t see it. It looked level and more attractive.

Anyway when I stepped out of the RV I was greeted by the lot’s apparent official greeter, a Road Runner. He came right up barking and clicking his beak which sounded like castanets. We gave him a piece of pork which he grabbed and went back to his office.

We had a great view to the east across the river over the town of Bullfrog, NV and the mountains beyond.  It could have been a peaceful night but we experienced gusts of wind all night and at times it threaten to blow over the motorhome. (It didn’t)
