The alarm was set for 6:00 this morning, but I woke up at about 5:40. Today was the day for going into Utah.
I left the RV park around 7:30 and headed towards the Las Vegas Strip to take a few photos (at the request of Asya, who is in St. Petersburg, Russia) and to refuel. Once that was accomplished, I headed north on Interstate 15 to Utah.

It was already in the 90s when I was on the road. Sierra and I were comfortable inside The Beast with the air conditioner on. I wanted to check out the Casablanca Resort in Mesquite and get some breakfast.

I arrived there at about 10:30 and found ample parking for The Beast. There was an older model Minnie Winnie in the parking area.
After parking, I went inside Casablanca's casino area. Things have sure changed when it comes to slot machines. I saw none that would accept coins. They either take paper money, credit/debit cards or ticket vouchers (from the casino).

I decided to play a slot machine for a while. I ended up winning a big, whopping, $3.50! Well, at least it partially paid for my $4.99 breakfast at the casino's coffee shop.

After breakfast, I got back on the road and after passing through the Virgin River Gorge, I was in Utah.

I'll be heading further north tomorrow. I am not sure where I will be staying. I made no reservations.
