We arrived safely back in Las Vegas and after a long but interesting shuttle bus ride got back to our trailer which was safe and sound waiting for us in the Main Street Station Casino RV Park.
We had waited in the shuttle line for quite some time, only to be ushered to a different bus, obviously business was slow so they gathered everyone who was waitng and put them on one bus, as opposed to having one bus go to the strip, one to the off strip and one to the Downtown casinos, so we knew this would be a long bus ride, as we had furthest to go. However it did mean that we got an unguided tour of almost every casino in Las Vegas. trouble came when the bus broke down. The bus was stuck in the middle of the road. We had to get off the bus, move through the traffic, wait on the sidewalk until another bus come and picked us up. No apology. After two hours we arrived at our casino - last on the bus. As we waited for our bag to be unloaded I mentioned to the driver that this had not been a pleasant ride, where upon he turned on me and to my surprise angrily agreed. How bad it had been - "Fourteen people had been dropped off and none of you had shown any thanks" (i.e. no tips). (What a surprise) I couldn't get any brilliant reply in, but only could say that I was entirely unsurprised and that such an unusual phenomenon was probably a reflection on the poor service and long trip - he should take it up with his bosses for putting such poorly maintained buses on the road. Wth that he slammed his luggage door stormed off and slammed his drivers door. However I felt a little satisfaction that the company had felt some redress for their obvious uselessness.
