Las Vegas: Where to stay and where to avoid

The Oasis is nice but beyond the south end of the strip. And not good news for someone who goes to Vegas for the Strip and not a nice destination RV park. It is 4 miles from the Oasis to the nearest mega resort Mandalay Bay with nothing in between. While it is 3 miles from Circus Circus to Mandalay Bay with a couple of dozen major resorts in between. Downtown is fun to visit but staying there is a non starter and the RV parks and casinos along Boulder Hwy are less than most tribal casinos in CA. For sports books and poker rooms there is nothing like the Strip. The 5 star Wynn and Encore are a 10 minute walk from Circus while a double deck bus line runs up and down the strip for around $8 per day if you don’t want to cab it. To get to Circus and not drive the Strip exit I-15 East on Sahara and turn right on Bridge Lane (Last light before the Strip) to a left on Industrial Rd. That gets you to Circus Circus Dr and the park. If all we are going for is Vegas and not the Dam or other sight seeing I don't bother towing a car from SoCal and let others deal with the traffic.
See you in a couple of weeks.
