Day 19 – Palms Hotel, The Gun Store, Hoover Dam, Pahrump, Saddle West Hotel, Casino & RV Park & Pool & Spa.

We had an all you can eat buffet in a restaurant in the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas.

We checked out of Palms Hotel and had to pay our compulsory restort fees on exit. That were a hidden cost to when the room was booked. Looking online a lot of people dispute these fees and state how unclear they are. You book the room for two nights and pay then when you get there they mention resort fees of about $25 a night on top. Misleading but to be honest if you dont pay the fees you wont get such an interesting hotel like we did so in that case it was worth it. The hotel had a pool, spa, restaurants, casinos and pretty much most things you can think of.

Good view from the room and also if you go upto the club at night on floor 55 that has a brilliant view with a roof party/club. Watch out for the ridiculously priced drinks! $26 for two drinks. Daylight robbery!!

We then went to The Gun Store in Las Vegas.

I choose my own guns and had double the ammunition.
I chose a Thompson, Desert Eagle and the AK47 and then chose the targets I wanted to shoot.
Wow the recoil was so much more than I imagined.
The Thompson was heavy and I was very accurate with this.
The Desert Eagle had some huge recoil for such a small gun and i got all headshots with this.
The AK47 had some impressive recoil and I found this the hardest for accuracy due to the sites and the recoil.

My favourite was the Thompson for accuracy and comfortabilty although it was heavier than all the other guns I fired.

I fired the Thompson at the target below:

I fired the Desert Eagle at the target below:

I fired the AK47 at the target below:

We then visited Hoover Dam and the bridge and took a few photos it was 106F that day so we decided not to do the helicopter ride as we had a good view from the bridge anyway.
It was too hot! We stopped in the shop at Hoover Dam for a drink.

We travelled to Pahrump and booked into the Saddle West Hotel, Casino & RV Park.
It offered a pool, spa, wifi, parking and also a cheap buffet breakfast in the morning. $53.41 for the room and $6.95 for the buffet breakfast, all you can eat.
