CasinoCamper Update, November 2007  No Overnight Parking in Henderson

This may be "old news" to some of you, but I didn't have it posted on the web site for new folks.  Thanks to reader Tom L. who sent me the email below.  This applies not only to casinos, but all other businesses in the Henderson city limits (e.g. Wal-Mart):

I was at the Fiesta Henderson (suburb of Las Vegas) casino today and asked one of the parking security officers about RV parking.

He told me there is a Henderson city ordinance prohibiting sleeping in a vehicle. Security will inform any RVer they see and tell them it is only ok to park there while using the facilities.

This probably applies to the other Stations casino in Henderson, the Green Valley Station.

Report from reader Karen B., March 2007

We just spent a couple weeks in Las Vegas , dry camping most of the time. We did get some comped nights at Main Street Station. Thanks ! I wouldn't have thought that we played enough to qualify but after seeing that you guys got comped for everything we asked and got the comp. I guess that's the secret - ask.

Finding parking for a motorhome on the strip is getting really hard. Our favorite parking spot behind the New Frontier is gone. despite all of the rumors of it coming demise the New Frontier keeps hanging on, but the extra parking lot is now a construction site - Trump towers , I think. . Signs on all sections of the existing lot say no rv parking.

The Stardust which also had some parking behind the casino is rubble.

We tried the back lot of the Excalibur where we had previously stayed for an occasional night and security told us that parking was only permitted for paying guests of the hotel. This is for any parking, even during the day.

The only place left is behind Ballys.

CasinoCamper Trip Report - June, 2006

We enjoy Las Vegas, and were really looking forward to this trip, but our visit coincided with a heat wave, and instead of the normal June 90's we had 100 - 107.  It was too hot to go anywhere.  Chris wanted to check out some thrift stores, I wanted to do a big coupon run, and we both wanted to visit all the dry camping sites in town to check them out and write reviews.  We didn’t do any of that because of the heat. The temperature inside a parked car would reach 130+, and one day it was 140+ in closed cars (the local TV weather guy has a thermometer in his).  That’s just too hot for constantly getting in and out of the car.

Regarding RV living in this weather, it's tough.  We have 30 amp service on our old RV, so we can only run one of the rooftop AC's.  We also have the swamp cooler that I've written about before.  If the Temp is under about 94, the swamp cooler will keep the RV comfortable.  If it's 95 to 100 we move to a hookup spot and run the AC, and it's usually OK.  Over 100 we ran both, AC in the back, swamp cooler up front with a window cracked open, it got up to over 85 inside the RV (sitting in full sun of course).  The swamp cooler alone would keep it down to about 90 in 107 degrees.  Now that's not bad, considering it would have been 130+ inside without it.  For our size RV, 37' no slides, the manufacturer recommends two coolers.  I think that might actually do the job.  When it's 100+ outside 80 degrees inside is fine with us.

Personal Safety in Las Vegas

I've been in discussions on several forums regarding crime in Las Vegas.  People are concerned about their personal safety and their property.  While concern is good, excessive fear isn't.  Las Vegas is no more dangerous than other well known cities.  I have searched available crime statistics on the Bureau of Justice web site, and have downloaded some stats in a MS Excel spreadsheet format.  Click here to see crime rates in Las Vegas compared to some of your favorite cities like Cincinnati, Atlanta, Memphis, Miami, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Tucson, Albuquerque, etc.

Wireless Internet in Las Vegas

You'll be happy to know that Wi-Fi is available all over downtown, and on much of the strip and in other parts of the Las Vegas area through Cheetah Wireless Technology.  It's about $7/day, $29/wk, $39/mo.

For general information (not RV related) www.lasvegasadvisor.com  is the "Master Site" in my opinion for everything Las Vegas.  Some content is free, and membership is only $39/yr.  You get an excellent coupon book that will more than pay for the cost of membership with just one coupon used!   Check the LVA out free for 5 days.  Click on the following link:  http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/free5day.cfm  FYI, I have no financial ties to the LVA, I've been a member for about 8 years and it's a great deal.
