We got a great night sleep, spent about 2 hours cleaning out the car, and repacking our belongings to make them airplane worthy again, and hung out with my relatives till early afternoon.
Around 2 or 3 pm we were driving down W. Sahara Avenue towards the strip. You might remember the left over firewood we "threw" in the car when we were about to leave our campsite in the Grand Canyon National Park. It just happened so that this very firewood was still happily riding in our car. With only a few hours remaining till we had to return our faithful rental car, we puzzled over the proper way to get rid of the firewood. My suggestion to toss it into a random dumpster we passed between various strip malls was firmly rejected under the pretext that unauthorized dumping is illegal. We reached Las Vegas Boulevard still in possession of the firewood.
Our plan was to visit a few more hotels along the strip, grab an early dinner, and head to the airport. We started at the Paris Hotel, and walked through the Treasure Island, the Venetian and a couple others. We stopped at the Bellagio once again to see some of Picasso's Ceramics on display at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. The exhibit was small but intriguing, and the audio guide did not disappoint providing us with bits of curious information about Picasso and his plates, owls and jars.
Back at the Paris Hotel, we grabbed a dinner and some fancy dessert, and drove off to the airport. We arrived at the car return, still with the firewood in tow. At this point, Nick confidently walked over to a garbage can, lifted off the nice cover, and stuffed the firewood into it, carefully replacing the cover. He was not caught in the act.
We flew out of Las Vegas before midnight, thus ending our wonderful adventurous vacation.
