#4 Las Vegas, NV

We left Oceanside, CA and headed to Las Vegas. We contacted the Monaco dealer there and set an appointment to have our rear camera system diagnosed. We couldn't see anything but vertical lines in our monitor. We had a number of other issues we wanted to have fixed while we were there. The service rep is from Oregon and has been trained by Monaco. He was very professional and helpful. We had the problems diagnosed on the Monday before the 4th of July weekend and parts ordered on Tuesday. Some of them came in before the holiday, but we had to wait on the camera and the inspector for the Warrenty company. So it was the 8th of July before we could have the repairs finished.
We didn't sit around and twiddle our thumbs. We were parked at Sam's Town near Henderson, NV, where my brother, Charlie, lives. So we got together with him. We also were able to see his daughter, Monette, granddaughter Sam and granddaughter Brianna.
When we weren't visiting with Charlie, we went to a show featuring "The Coasters," "The Platters," and "The Marvellettes." It was fun to see the oldies performed live. It was non stop music for the 90 minute show.

This is a picture of "The Coasters" as they were performing. They seemed to have a good time and got the audience clapping and singing along.


The Marvelettes were a fun group. They really got into their singing and their act. With the portable mikes, they got down into the audience and sang to individuals.



This is a participant from the audience that really got into the song and the act. The girls were singing "My Man Bill." He was a really good sport and had a lot of fun.

We went to this show the first night we were in Las Vegas.

We stayed a week at Sam's Town, five days at the Las Vegas Outdoor Resorts, and the last couple of days we spent back at Sam's Town waiting for the parts to arrive and to be installed.

The last afternoon we were in Las Vegas we went to the matinee performance of "Menopause, The Musical." We both laughed until we cried. This is a must see for any of us that have been through it, or that are going to go through it. (Husbands, too!) Puts a funny spin on "the change."
