Driving west from Salt Lake City through the Great Salt Lake is a straight, flat – and I mean flat – shot to Wendover, but sans exciting vistas.

Where we stayed:

 He said:

We pre-booked a room at The Montego Bay Casino and Resort, and this was a pleasant surprise. The room was very well appointed and inexpensive. While it didn’t include breakfast or an afternoon happy hour, we were able to have a nice dinner and full breakfast spending less than we would have at a moderately priced motel that includes breakfast. And for those of you who like to challenge the odds, all games of chance are there for your pleasure.

Bill forgot to mention that the hotel casino we stayed in  Wendover was $60.00 and very nice.   Wendover, FYI, is the place where the USAAF created an airbase to train for the atomic bomb misssion to Hiroshama that ended WWII.

    I love the west! Love to find unique (and cheap!) hotels. Looks like a fun town.
