October Vacation - Part II: Pirates Cove

From Denver, we flew to Las Vegas where we spent the next few days with our "Nepal Trip" friends from all over the country. This was the 3rd time that our dear friend (and best adventure travel guide ever), Gary (or "G" or "Uncle G" as we call him hehe), invited us to Pirate's Cove. We just love Gary and Sandie - thanks again for your wonderful hospitality, you two! This time, the kids were invited and it really was the best time that we've had at PC. We only get to see this group every year or two...and it's always a real treat. We love you guys! In addition to pics of our peeps, I wanted to show a few pictures of this amazing place that they call, Pirate's Cove. It's really impossible to explain the place and pictures really don't do the place justice but I'll try. ;)

We saw these guys about a block from PC

"Uncle Keith, playing with Linkan

This floaty has been a great buy! She is very comfortable in the water with it.

Slurpees are always on tap at PC!

Miss Palmer

Relaxing...

Teresa and Aspen

It's a rough life...

Just another day at the office for G

This is pretty much all Palmer did, by the pool. :)

 

Infinity hot tub at the top of the property with an amazing view of Lake Mead

Entrance to one of the big tube slides, complete with a motion sensor that starts the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme song as you go down it

Pirate's Bar

Another view of the Pirate's Bar

Lower, zero entry "baby" pool that has a more mellow slide, waterfall and a "grotto-esque" cave

Indoor gym

Pool for the big kids where the big slide dumps out.  Don't forget the pirate ship (left) and rope swing!

Another view of the big pool with the waterfalls

One of many hot tubs at PC.  It's beautiful at night with constantly changing colors in the water.

There are so many other amazing things about Pirates Cove...too many to mention!  It truly is one of the most enchanting places we have ever visited.  Not only do we get to see old friends when we go...we always seem to meet and make new ones. :)  Can't wait to go back!
