SF to NYC Day 1: Vegas meh

My first leg in this cross country challenge was an 8-9 hour drive from SF to Las Vegas. It was sooooooo boring! It was all freaking desert, which is what I am mostly driving through the first half of this trek. It wasn't that bad, I wasn't that tired but I think that's because I was just jacked up I was actually starting the trip. I only made two stops for gas but I filled up in Las Vegas in prep for the next drive. Maybe it's because I didn't do any partying or gambling but not a huge fan of Vegas. 108 degrees, middle of the desert, my "hotel" and casino smelt like an ash tray. Silver Sevens Las Vegas, don't stay there, but it was cheap, you have to walk through the casino to check in. The room was huge, but there wasn't anything in it, just a bed and dresser, I couldn't sleep cause I thought I was going to get murdered. Not much for day 1 but it was all preparation for day 2!
