The biggest dump of a casino in Las Vegas is Circus Circus.
It's a beat up, broken giant ash tray of a building with a slot machine.
But for decades it's had a renown Steak House restaurant with free parking.
I've never dined at a high end steakhouse.
We're in Vegas last week so my wife can get Grandma (who lives there to avoid taxes) dialed in with a new set of doctors.
115F outside and we RV camp just outside of Vegas in the desert above a dry lake.
Labor day week hotels are booked, over priced, don't allow big dogs, $25+ a day to park, fees on top of fees,,, so what the hey camp in the desert.
Our RV triple A/C handles it no problem.
We don't gamble and wife has never drank booze so we're not missing out on anything.
One of our kids joined us, so while mom was dealing with Grandma Axehandle we went to get a steak.
Why not Circus Circus that I've been reading about all these years.
Twice the price of what we expected and half the quality. The manager looked like a soup sandwich in his old wrinkled suit but the 3 turquoise rings on every finger set that off pretty good.
Check that off the list and never look back.
So next day I rolled out the UTV/SXS and we headed across the desert to the Goodsprings Pioneer Saloon.
Known for the place actor Clark Gable sat at the bar waiting for rescue crews to bring down the remains of his wife actress Carol Lombard from a plane wreck in the mountains above the saloon.
His cigarette burns are still on the bar.
New owners had just this last week taken over and shut down the Saloons Steakhouse. So we ate Burgers instead. Another expensive mistake.
By all means check this place out in route to Vegas, but skip the food.
We gathered up all the junk and trash that past inconsiderate campers left behind and we fed the dumpster we passed along the highway.
Tires, a TV set, shade lounges, trash.
^Good bird hunting just minutes from Vegas.^
Wife gathering up trash while the son and I gather heavy junk.
