Las Vegas to Phoenix
Have a TT and will be traveling from Las Vegas to Phoenix area(Gilbert Arizona) via Hwy 93 to Hwy 74 to I17 south, Need recommendations on places to stay in route. Looks like Lake Pleasant is one area...

Depends on how many hours you want to drive. Las Vegas is only slightly over 5 hours from Phoenix/Gilbert.
Are you planning on taking Hwy 93 out of Henderson or some other route?...If you take 93 to Kingman, just east of Kingman on I-40 is Blake Ranch RV Resort. It's a nice rv park but appears to be in a seedy area due to the truck stops, one open, one deserted. Don't let the area stop you from staying there. It's a pretty nice park. From there south, there's little to see, do or visit. You can stop in Wickieup for touristy stuff but little else.
Lake Pleasant has a nice camping area. Water and electric but no sewer. There is a dump station on site. Reservations are accepted. That's not my favorite way to go as it's somewhat longer than simply staying on Hwy 93 to Wickenburg.
Outside Wickenburg there's a rest area, (difficult to get into and out of) that you could use if you need a few hours rest. Stay on US60 and take the 101 Loop south to I-10 to Gilbert. Lots quicker. If you need fuel, there's a Flying J on I-10 just east of the 101 loop. (Diesel was $3.69 last Saturday) I-10 hooks up with US 60 just south of the airport and US60 will take you to Gilbert, or you could stay on I-10 south to the 202 Loop east if US 60 is crowded. Good luck....remember there's little between Kingman and Wickenburg on Hwy 93.....Dennis
