A couple of decades ago, Vegas was a nice, cheap, reliable place to stop. But since then, many surrounding states legalized gambling, and then online gambling proliferated. So Vegas is no longer so well subsidized by those who just have the itch. It is no longer a cheap place to stay. So Karen booked a cheap room in Laughlin last night while I was ordering my replacement power supply. It means an extra hour of driving today, right around LV, NV, but then an hour less tomorrow.
