    Charging in Las Vegas

    Anyone know of hotels or places in Vegas with Tesla charging?

    Contact Lance Merkin at the Seattle Tesla Store. Real nice guy. He spent this past winter in Las Vegas showing the Roadster to prospective buyers in the area. He can tell you where you can get your Roadster recharged.

    I wonder if these events took place at a location with charging available? (Perhaps at least a NEMA14-50?)

    What sucks is that when I go to Vegas, I have to leave my Roadster at home. I need a Roadster that I can keep in Vegas for when I need it.

    And the skinny is?

    I really want to spend some time driving through Death Valley - checking into if the RV park at Furnace Creek or Stovepipe Wells has at least 50amp available. I lived there for several years - scenery is incredible, indescribable really. It seems like the perfect backdrop for an EV. I still remember coming into the valley for the first time, pulling over and turning off my engine. It was so silent that my ears hurt, straining to hear. No sound of wind or trees rustling. Just. Silence.

    But first I have to figure out where/how I'll charge.

    Stayed at the Rivera. After 3 hours of "begging" they let plug in 120 12A in the parking structure next to the rear entrance. Got about 2 miles per hour fill. After a day the car shut off after detecting an "extension cord" Guess the conduit wiring was small gauge. Topped off at the Cosmopolitan, Great setup there!
