Day 1. West Coast again ;-)

Up about 6am got showered and changed and then woke everyone else up. Seemed Vegas was having a heat wave so made sure we had sunscreen for us .

(And they weren't wrong about the heat wave, its the hottest we've had it with temps over 100 at times in the day) ..

Got ready and went downstairs to the buffet, met some friends who were also staying there and had breakfast together, saw a few NASCAR drivers in the buffet which pleased Connor.

Went outside to wait for the car and it was already hot, and it just got hotter , at 5pm it was 95 !
Drove to the Stratosphere to look in the NASCAR shop that sets up , Didn't buy anything but Connor saw a few bits he liked.
Went to the track and collected our race tickets from Will Call, inside was the voucher booklet so I got the one for 20% off the track shop and we headed for the shop.

It appears since last year its changed and you now only get a discount of LVMS merchandise not things like diecast cars / driver t shirts etc so we bought less than usual..

Went inside the track and bought a few bits from the merchandise tent but with the exchange rate everything is so expensive now. Walked to the Neon Garage / Fan Zone and saw a few drivers inc mt favourite and also Adam Sandler wandering around.

Chloe got accosted by some Rodeo rider for a photo, haven't a clue who he is but apparently he's quite famous



We were so hot by now.. left the track went to the nearby Mcdonalds for some food, didn't hang around long as its a really rough area and we stand out like sore thumbs !
Headed back to the race track but this time to the dirt track and collected race tickets for that evenings event.. Bought some pit passes as Connor loves being in the pits and we went inside. Have to say these aren't my cup of tea but DH and Connor love them !.

Event didn't start till about 8pm so we wandered around and saw a few of the NASCAR drivers who had come to watch, went to our seats and watched the racing... around 10.30pm I could see Chloe was bored and tired so I went back to the car with her and she went to sleep and I read my kindle.. Barry and Connor joined us around midnight when the racing finished and we went straight back to the hotel and to bed.

Be surprised if they don't change that back - must be losing a lot of trade.

I know it's a daft thing to say but your daughter looks so grown up now. I remember looking at previous trippies of yours when she was still a little girl!
