Met two old men at the McDonalds in Walmart. Sidenote: for some reason the Kingman, AZ MdD' is more expensive than any other we have been to. Well the two old fellas gave us the name and address of a cheap hotel in Vegas. Said they love it for the 2 for 1 food they offer and all rooms are only $25.oo a night on weekdays. So--off to the "Gold Spike" we head. We did a quickie of Hoover Dam-didn't do the tour-thank you Glen Canyon Dam for giving us our fill of dams for this trip. Well once at "Gold Spike" we decided to search for another hotel. We booked 2 nights in the lovely Circus Circus--talk about white trash kid heaven. $39 a night . We did a walk of the strip and I really wanted to see "O" Cirque show. It was sold out-but we waited for over an hour and a half for standby tickets--and yeah we got them--the show was great!! When trying to buy tickets the ticket lady asked Laura "where are you staying"...the rest of the night we joked "Gold Spike--I'm sure you've heard of it"...then we just bust out laughing. She still thinks if we said "Bellagio" instead of "Circus Circus" standby would not have been needed.
