Our stop after Zion was infamous Las Vegas, NV.

We left Zion straight after the others returned from the hike; obviously it was a pretty quiet ride over to Vegas – with not more than a gas and a lunch stop on the way. Once in Vegas the first point of interest was an outlet mall – before we were heading for our hotel (right – no camping here … first night in a bed for weeks) and showers.

We met up again in the evening to go into town for dinner at the Bellagio buffet. I was still not in perfect shape, so made it back to the hotel after dinner – while most of the others continued with the night out Vegas-style.
