Las Vegas RV Road Trip
My cousin was getting married in Las Vegas so we decided to take the cats on their first road trip. Planning a Las Vegas RV road trip? We highly recommend staying at Main Street Station RV Park and visiting Hoover Dam. Like food and drink specials? Read about the deals we found near Fremont Street Experience.

Things to do on Las Vegas RV Road Trip
Main Street Station RV Park
The rates at Main Street Station Casino RV park were great. Only $24 per day and you are in downtown Las Vegas. I couldn’t find a way to book online so I had to call. It’s only a parking lot but it has full hookups and pull-through spots right near a casino, and we were walking distance to the Fremont Street Experience. What more could you need?
Fremont Food and Drink Specials
So what food and drink specials did we find? We started off with the 99 cent shrimp cocktails at Lanai Express in the Fremont Hotel & Casino. They were okay. Nothing special but for 99 cents you can’t beat the price. Next, we had awesome cocktails and appetizers at the Redwood Steakhouse in the California Hotel & Casino. We recommend the house-made potato chips with Maui onion and big island BBQ dip…. yum! The Market Street Cafe in the California Hotel & Casino had a great prime rib dinner for only $9.99 and this casino still has actual coin slots. There are only a few left and that sound brought me back to some great times in Las Vegas.
Hoover Dam
My uncle works at the Hoover Dam and he gave us a great tour. Both of us left with an appreciation for this engineering modern marvel built during the great depression and almost 90 years ago. I would highly recommend taking a tour of the Hoover Dam. If you are thinking a Hoover Dam tour would not be interesting I would say if you like history, engineering, machinery, or if you appreciate things larger than yourself then do it. If you look closely in the last picture you will see our two heads in the side of the Hoover Dam.
You might be asking what about the picture of the burning car? And I would say “OMG that car is on fire!!!!!” I was always told cars don’t catch on fire as they do in the movies so you might imagine how my heart raced as I AM DRIVING to Las Vegas and a cop does a U-turn through the median right in front of me towards black smoke. Thank goodness everyone in the car got out safely!
Cats First Road Trip
So how did the cats do on their first road trip? This was a LONG road trip. Over 7+ hours each way. It was tough on them but they did well. Both Nacho and Tinkerbell have hidy-holes and they run to them as soon as we start the engine. Tinkerbell stayed in hers the whole time and even looked like she took a nap at one point. Nacho came out for some TLC so I built him a fort and gave him lots of love. Lessons learned: 100 - 150 miles per day is a good fit for everyone (humans and cats).
