Problem
How do you visit Las Vegas and the Casino hotels and find somewhere to amuse children (who are not allowed into casinos?

Answer
We went to Circus Circus hotel in Nevada.

Story Of Real Clowns From Russia In the USA
When I visited Nevada I went to stay at the Circus Circus hotel and met two clowns who performed in their 'big top'. One of the clowns had been billed as the Russian clown.

I waited a long time for them to finish their acts for the session so that I could interview them. I asked one of them, "Which of you is the Russian?"
"I am ze Russian. He is ze American?"
I asked another question, but he shook his head and shrugged.
I asked, "You don't speak English? So I turned to the other clown and asked, "Tell me about yourself. Where are you from?"
He replied, "I am ze Russian. He is ze American."
"Tell me more, I said.
He just shrugged.
I gave up. I'm still laughing about it.

Going to or from Las Vegas, or taking a side trip, stop at Tonopah to try the museum or turquoise tour and see the Clown Motel and cemetery (all described in previous posts).
