Feb. 16, 2016 Mesquite, Nevada

     Tuesday Feb. 16    Still in Mesquite, Kent and I are entered in a slot tournament today. We don't usually do well in these tournaments, it is fun to try. They have about 40 old slot machines and you draw a number to pick your machine. When they say go, you start hitting the play button as fast as you can, or at a steady pace and you keep doing this for 10 minutes. The machine stops automatically when the time is up. The 4 or 6 people with the highest score go into another round later in the day. Some of these people are pros at hitting the button just right to get a rhythm going so the machine doesn't stop and waste time. It sounds so easy, but your arm really gets tired and you have to switch hands without stopping and being a lucky person really HELPS!  LOL  After the slot tournament, we did our laundry and paid our bills. That evening we ate dinner at the Orleans Casino and went to the Elvis Dinner Show. The  Elvis impersonator plays at the Orleans Casino every Tuesday night.  We sat by a neat couple from Elktin, Oregon, population 134 who are pretty new to RVing and had a lot of questions. She said living in such a small town, just being around people was great. When we first started on this adventure we also had the same questions and our good friends John and Linda Burgelhaus were real helpers for us and we share the same kindness to others. Elvis did a great job entertaining us and the table full of ladies out on the town was another entertaining show and yes Kent and I danced a couple of dances, what a fun night!
