Sahara Closed As Of Today

I was sad to hear the Sahara Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas strip closed as of today. Mark and I spent two weeks in that hotel one fall. It was a very nice facility though not as nice as some of the newer places. We used it as a jumping off point to a lot of other places: Yosemite National Park, the Roy Rogers Museum, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Forest, the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Meteor Crater (if you type Meteor Crater in your search engine, you’ll see a map and if you change the map to satellite and zoom in, you won’t believe that place – it’s amazing), Lake Havasu City and London Bridge, the Hoover Dam, Lake Meade, Laughlin, and, of course, Las Vegas itself.

We had the best time and our stay at the Sahara was a large part of the fun we had. I guess it just couldn’t keep up the other casinos.

Today, I had an awful time updating my iPhone software, but called for support and the fellow I talked with very patiently walked through a bunch of steps so I could get it updated. Now, I’m up-to-date or should I say, my iPhone software is up-to-date … I am, personally, another story.

I also asked him about what happens when the battery has to be replaced. He said that you usually have to send it in, but they will send you a replacement so you don’t have to be without your phone. I honestly don’t know what I would do without my iPhone now that I have it.

The shuttle launched successfully today. Click this link to see some fantastic pictures taken by a lady in a commercial airliner flying in the vicinity:

Well, it’s getting dark out so it must be time to hit the hay.

Until next time…
