Kanab is a place where a lot of western movies were filmed. This was both helpful and disappointing. On one hand, we got to experience the Wild Wild West version of a Holiday Inn - down to cowboy boot themed lamps on the night stand and cowboy hat themed wall paper in the bathroom. But since this was a (summer) tourist town, nothing was really open in January.
That morning, we asked the hotel staff for recommendations on things to see. They sent us to the Coral Sands Dunes in the national park. We saw what we think is a bald eagle, but the dunes were all covered in snow. We headed straight to stop number two in Utah - Zion National Park.
Zion National Park was breathtaking - arguably the best park we saw (in Angie’s opinion). Compared to Grand Canyon National Park and Sedona, Randy described Zion as very ‘hands-on.’ This led to him climbing walls like some sort of tie wearing spiderman. We had lunch in a great little restaurant at the exit of the canyon, Cafe Soleil.
Our next stop after Zion was the road to Vegas. We stopped in Mesquite and played a few rounds of $3 Roulette at Eureka then continued on our way. We headed to check in to the LVH Las Vegas Hotel. We had dinner at Lotus of Siam then toured the strip. We searched for the wedding chapel featured in The Hangover. We went to Rio, viewed and took part in the live shows. Then we went to the Bellagio. Vegas is beautiful!
