    Adam, when you get to your next night stop. Remove your air filter on your engine and beat it out on the parking lot. Lightly beat it out. That sand storm could have got your filter pretty full. It probably wouldn't hurt to stop at a popular auto parts store and replace the air filter. You may not even need tools. It could have snap latches. Probably $20 and a bit better MPG

    After driving through that sand storm, you should remove the air filter from your engine and tap the sand out of it. If it's really dirty, just replace it. The loss of air flow to your engine can cause it to lose power. What you called "lights" were not lights; that is a solar reflector farm and those towers were really bright from all the mirrors reflecting the sun onto them.

    Another video making me envious. You and I share the same opinion of the desert! I recently retired after 36yrs at one place. I drove about 300-400 miles a week for that job so I'm not so quick to go cross country quite yet. Your videos make it very enticing! Been to Vegas twice but flew there. Would be so different to drive it and see neat stuff along the way. You are looking a might thinner too. Good for you man!

    Wow that’s exciting when your videoing something right at home. I’ve been working and living here at Primm Valley Resorts for 25 years now.
    You’re right Buffalo Bill’s hasn’t reopened yet since the Covid shutdown. Only Primm Valley and Whiskey Pete’s are open.
    Buffalo Bill’s opened 3 times for only the weekends for 3 concerts this year. However on the 1st of the year 2023 it’s reopening permanently. Not sure of the exact day but in the 1st week of January. But yea that was fun watching the video and listening to you talking about the casino and the rollercoaster and stuff. Thanks for that.

    Please don't tell me I'm the only one who joins Adam in saying "...shall you?" and "...is over." for every video. Dude you are on my bucket list of people to meet.

    28:01 That isn't lights, that's actually the reflection of the sun you are seeing .
    The Ivanpah Solar Facility is the largest concentrated solar plant in the world, and when it opened in 2014 it promised to be the future of renewable energy. Solar thermal plants (like Solar One and Solar Two) use thousands of large moving mirrors, called heliostats, that track the sun and focus the reflected sunlight toward tall towers. The heat then boils water in the tower to create steam, which turns a turbine to generate electricity.

      Saw those when flying from Vegas to LA in 2018. Thought "What THE HECK is that???" Nothing like that here in Australia!

      Sadly it became too costly to run and was shut down. It was also a prolific flying wildlife vaporizer

    Wow Adam you brought a tear to my eye😢😢 with this video. I lived out in that area for 20 years. Well it was a place called Bullhead City AZ but I've been to Baker and Vegas many times in the 20 years I was there. If you like swap meets go to broad acres down near Nellis afb.
