Stay there for the night and go into Death Valley the next day. If you are really up to it, go early enough to see the sun rise at Zabriskie Point. You won’t regret it. This hotel and the Opera House is something very, very special, not at all luxurious, but something one should not miss. The link will give you all information you need. http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:GbZHBl319XwJ:www.amargosaoperahouse.com/+marta+becket&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a Somehow I have the feeling you belong to the group of people who can really cherish a place like this for what it is; and Death Valley is always worth a trip.

This time, I want to see things like Red Springs, and Calico Basin, and Hoover Dam. I'm not so much interested in the strip this time. I love desert. It sort of makes sense, but the tan one gets in Vegas is different than the tan one gets here. Here, I get a yellow-brown tan. There, I got a red-brown tan. Not sure why, but it was noticeable.
