Our first day on the road is over. We drove south through Monterey county one last time, then passed through Bakersfield and the Mojave desert until we reached Las Vegas. We checked into the Luxor Resort Hotel and Casino for the night. It's not the kind of place we plan on staying at for the rest of this trip, but we decided to splurge this one night since Jul hasn't experienced Vegas yet. We were pretty tired by the time we got settled into our room and had dinner so Jul decided to take it easy in the room with Curtis. I couldn't resist going downstairs and testing my luck at the slot machines. As usual, I ended up in the negative.
