Editorial Summary

The creators document their experience staying in an RV at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona. After attempting to park in an employee section, they are directed to the designated RV parking area. The stay is characterized by extreme heat, as the RV lacks hookups for air conditioning, causing the interior to become uncomfortably hot. To manage the temperature, the creators use blankets to insulate windows and attempt to sleep with open windows. During the evening, they visit the casino for entertainment and food, though they encounter restrictions regarding filming with their camera. The creators also experience financial losses while playing craps at the casino. Despite challenges such as loud noises from a nearby airport, bright parking lot lights, and a malfunctioning ceiling fan, they report sleeping surprisingly well. They conclude that while the experience provided entertainment and security, the combination of gambling and food made it an unexpectedly expensive stay.
