Thousand Trails - Las Vegas

We've been here about 10 days and have another 10 to go. Having never spent this much time in Las Vegas, I thought we'd be bored and unable to stay put this long. We're not gamblers nor do we like to mingle with thousands of tourists. But half way through this visit we're enjoying ourselves and our motorhome lifestyle. We think we'll stay a little longer.

Our TT membership allows us to stay at a member park for 21 days and then we're able to move immediately into another TT/LT/NACO preserve without being out of the system. There are no other TT parks on our route north so as long as the weather is not too hot here we're going to stay and explore Vegas. It's been about 10 degrees cooler here than in Phoenix, with overcast cloudy skies and lots of wind to keep us cool. If we feel the need to move we'll look for campgrounds in Utah. Opening day on the river is May 16 and we plan to be there.


Thousand Trails Las Vegas is not like other forested, rural, green-grass, scenic campgrounds we've visited. However, it's not a casino parking lot for boondocking campers. Far from a parking lot. This is a little bit of an oasis in a big, bustling metropolitan city. A heavily populated city that stays awake allllll night long. Vegas never sleeps. They never sleep because they don't have clocks in casinos to remind people what time it is. Clocks are the enemy of casinos. Gamblers get so engrossed in playing, and hoping to win, that they lose all common sense. That may not be true of all gamblers, but walking through a casino at 8:30 in the morning and seeing all those slot machine junkies propped on their stools, you just know they've been there for hours. Sorry, that's not for us.

I plan to post photos of this Thousand Trails Las Vegas park soon.
