Day 3: Las Vegas NV / North Rim NP UT And Valley Of Fire NM

Entering the Valley of File national monument. This is a highly recommended ride (or road). It is Highway 187

A view from the Highway 187. Nice road

La Bambolona and my buts are resting... So far the bike is doing great.

Not exactly the kind of bar you see in LV, now we are back to normal (America). And to be honest I like this better than the crazy and expensive LV 

Leaving LV

Leaving LV like the title of the movie or the song. Who knows?

It is 7:30AM and already hot. Heading to the Valley of Fire and I am very intrigued, because I did read nice things about this scenic byway. Which is also inside a national monument park. It is going to be hot.
The pavement in front of the Aria hasn't been done thinking about traffic on two wheels. It is so slippery 

LV by night

Some pics

Walking LV

Walking in LV. A group of kayak, this is cool. May be this is the headquarters of the travel company kayak.com. Just kidding it is not

Hotel Cosmopolitan 

I do not remember the name of this one...

And this hotel I recall it has something to do with Italy 

And this one too

I have seen this city somewhere during the other coast to coast, but the name is slipping my mind

LV Outlet and finally food

Leaving Aria to go to LV Outlets. Have never been there before even thought I went to LV multiple times

Quick stop at the food court, the food court sprays that disgusting water to cool down the place. That is awful.
I need to buy a few items I did not bring with me initially, such as a pair of sweat short and most importantly swimming trunks (which I forgot to bring with me...)

Aria... Di casa mia

Very nice and huge. I need GPS to guide me back to the lobby
Checked in al hotel Aria. Proprio bello e grande. Ho bisogno del GPS per tornare alla lobby

Bikes rest today. Le moto oggi riposano

It looks like the room of George Clooney in Ocean 11. Or almost...

Day 3 Beatty NV / Las Vegas NV: 30 Miles To Las Vegas

30 miles from Las Vegas. It is hot but dry, perhaps more than 100 F. That's my bike sun bathing and asking "please put me in the shade, I am melting..."

Last miles to Vegas and desert of course. And my finger on the upper left corner of the picture

Tesla In Beatty?

Questo fara' contento Mario che ammira la Tesla. A Beatty ho trovato le charging stations della Tesla, peccato che non ci arrivi da SF fino a qui, se non ti porti le Duracel nel bagagliaio. Infatti non ho visto nessuna Tesla per strada e in paese...

Not sure why there are Tesla charging stations in this small town in the middle of the desert. The point is that this place is too far from SF and unless you have loaded the trunk with a tom of Duracel, you do not stand a chance to get down here. I do not get it...

Dinner At Beatty

What do you laugh gargoyle?
Faccia da schiaffi

Finally I put my teeth on some food. I was so hungry! The Elena and Lela have given up and stayed at the hotel. The boys had dinner here, the place has three tables. One table us and the other two tables... Italians. This is the time of the year Italians have abandoned the country and gone in vacation

Bought a new helmet, like it?

Beatty NV

Forgotten small town in the desert. This place is relatively near Death Valley NP and it is the reason there are a few hotels. The town is like a ghost town. In fact, July is no season for the Death Valley. It is too hot down there with temperature easily above 115 F, And if I am not mistaken is closed to RV and motorcycle traffic

Un posto in c... alla balena
