Hot Nevada Slot - a photo on Flickriver

Hot Nevada Slot

            Most people go to Vegas to have fun in the casinos.  I tend to go to Vegas to visit family and explore the sights outside the city... whether it be Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire State Park depicted here.

Of course, the key is to go during the cooler months, when the temperatures aren't north of 100°F.  Timing is everything.  In this case, we hiked all around Valley of Fire the first week of April this year, and the following week the temperatures reached 99°F and higher.  We camped with our dogs for the first time, and they enjoyed the hikes, but not the windy nights.  Obviously, there was enough breeze during the day to kick up some sand in the slots, which made them a bit brighter and added to the aura.  For my money, these slots pay out better than the ones on the strip any day of the week.
