Vegas to Arizona Road Trip! Chloride, Kingman, Route 66 & Dambar

Part of Las Vegas Inside & Out is the "out" - destinations in the fascinating desert southwest outside Las Vegas. Today's adventure is one of those - a totally impromptu and unplanned day trip into Arizona, and we had a blast! We will spend some time in the old mining town of Chloride, Arizona, and then continue on to Kingman.
Kingman is the heart of Route 66 in Arizona, and still retains so much of that mid-century retro charm. We'll pop into the Visitor Center, visit Locomotive Park, cruise the Mother Road, and have a big old steak dinner at the Dambar Steakhouse. Don't miss a minute of this one!

I am so happy to see this video! As you know, I lived in Kingman for a year, and spent a lot of time exploring Nevada and Arizona and Utah from Kingman. Chloride is so cool! The Petroglyphs and art work up the mountain road are awesome as well. Ok, Let's go to Kingman. That intersection is just horrible. I am so glad that they are going to do some construction to improve that area. The Kingman Visitor center is really cool. I wonder how many of your subscribers can say that The Ramblin Rose was my Home!!! The best place to eat in Kingman is the Tack Shed: Amazing burgers, wings, nachos and if you really want a dusty bar - its the place to be. Both steaks at the Dam Bar look great! There are some great restaurants and shops on Andy Devine Ave. I loved just walking those streets. I hate that the Hotel Beale has never been restored. It is very sad. Loved the video!

[@jamesnorris1272]

Road Trip! Terrific stops with lots to see and great food. Yes, and Andy Devine brings back plenty of happy memories from back in the Fifties. Thanks, Kids!

[@deliverancetwo]

Oh my goodness what a great video. This is a lot of information beautiful small towns so beautiful thank you Dale and Paula.

[@TeksonikAudio]

After living in Las Vegas for 44 years I moved to Kingman in 2020 and have fallen in love with the city. The pace of life and cost of living are so much better here and as you say Vegas is only an hour and a half away so it's easy to pop back in to the city for a day trip. Bullhead city/ Laughlin is only 45 minutes away. The Beale Street beautification project just finished so you should come back to Kingman this fall when it's cooler and visit again. There is a lot more to see.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

You are right, there is, and we would love to. Love hearing that it's a great place to consider relocating to, when we decide Las Vegas is too big and busy for us.

[@panzerivj]

It always brightens my day when I see a new video from you two when I wake up.

[@busterbud]

When Dale is in the outhouse and then Paula tells him she'll get some toilet paper at the general store, as soon as she says that an ad for Quilted Northern toilet paper then ran!😂I kid you not! Thanks for another fun and informative video!

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Love it!!

[@Robert-Gulfstream]

Always love Kingman. Steaks looked great. In and out in Kingman is a great burger place. As always 👍 from MS

[@jeffreycharles5035]

Love when you go off strip and this was waayyyy off strip lol. Great video!

[@mmirl9859]

Arizona is a Beautiful State. Have a fun trip yall

[@greenQT]

Yay road trip! Great adventure, thanks so much for going and taking us along. Ready for another! Karla in Cali

[@gerireischl1959]

Great narration!…. Great camera work! What a cool place to visit. There is so much to see! Did Dale end up getting some T.P.?😉I also enjoyed Andy’s work.

[@citibear57]

Great video this week! What a nice Mother's Day for Paula! 👍

[@maybelucky2558]

I bet a whole whole bunch of us viewers knew Andy Devine. You may have forgotten that you have a lot of old folks watching you. ;-)

[@DaleMcKenzie]

LOL no, we didn't forget, and we're grateful for every one! Just not sure everyone is as much an old Western fan as I am...

[@zas85]

Another fun video! Thanks!

[@gypsycabs]

Love you guys "wing'n it!" Such a great video of something I'd never see otherwise.

[@NomadicBrian]

Andy Devine was a lot of fun. Hoping that John Wayne wouldn't get Lee Marvin mad in 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence'. Must have passed through Kingman dozens of times. When I headed North of I 40 I knew Las Vegas was not far away.

[@lindamemo5224]

I loved Andy divine. We were huge John Wayne fans and he was a great character actor. Please go to the parade if you can

[@maxsipmeier5366]

Another great Video thanks so much WE Love you both

[@VellaTek]

Great video as usual and it looked like a fun road trip. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, John Acquavella

[@kermankwok8750]

Our family traveled through Kingman a few times last year (after visiting Las Vegas) on our way to visit our son in Prescott, AZ (connecting to I-40 from U.S. 93). After watching your video, we need to spend more time to explore this city. Thanks again for all your videos about Vegas and surrounding areas!

[@HrantSarkissian]

You promised and you did it to visit Kingman, I love you both ❤️🙏

[@billbuschgen520]

You guys are always fun to watch.

[@allanmoore4840]

What an excellent tour video! Everything (videoing and narration) was to the next level. Thanks again.

[@davidberryman9688]

This was a very interesting video to watch. This kind of production is what keeps me glued to your channel, I always love these out-of-town places that tourists like me never get to see. Thanks so very much for your efforts in getting this video done, they are very much appreciated. Bring on the next one!

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you David - what a great compliment

[@Its_the_Whole_Everything]

We liked Kingman as well. The area is growing, hoping to leave Vegas and make this our retirement hometown. We felt as an interracial couple we kind of stood out. We encounter very nice ppl on our visit. But living there - well sometimes people arent so nice when you become their neighbor. Thanks for the video.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you for sharing your own personal experience - we too have given it a passing thought as a good spot to retire, when we decide Las Vegas is getting too big and busy for us. We are dismayed to learn that you weren't welcomed - did you end up moving elsewhere?

[@deniseu2119]

Chloride looked like a really interesting place to visit. I do love a good ghost town, or ghost town adjacent 👻 The pie you had in Kingman looked delicious. Sad that the old hotel has fallen on hard times.

[@NeilMacedo]

I loved Kingman when I visited the US, it’s a wonderful place 😊

[@marciabryan5176]

My sister lives in Kingman so I've visited it a few times. We actually went to Chloride on one trip when I was visiting from here in Raleigh, NC. Great little town...next time see the drawings on the sides of the cliffs there.

[@ryancompton6233]

15:55 Dale's hat in neon on the wall!

[@user-th1xh7cn1o]

What a nice trip to Kingman!!! Thx for sharing your fun❤

[@allen9069]

Just when Dale said there's no toilet paper, KZbin put in an ad, and what what was it for? Quilted Northern Toilet Paper! Thought that was funny! Great video as usual. I was just through Kingman in March on my way to the LV Airport.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Love that!

[@marie-thereseguimond7841]

I just love your always informative videos guys! So much history you're relating all the time! Thanks so much 👏👏😍🧑‍🦳🇨🇦💯

[@lindamemo5224]

Love seeing the area

[@the_benjamin_effect]

Thanks for yet another great video.

[@kentaylor7558]

Greetings from Scotland . Great to see you guys on a road trip . Love the video . Stopped in Kingman back in 2006 and did Cracker barrel. It will be Dam bar next visit for sure .

[@cjs3844]

Great video folks! Thank you for sharing…you can tell you put a lot of work into it. Thanks again! ❤

[@jerrysanders9101]

I’ve driven thru kingman a few times but never had time to stop and look around. I will DEFINITELY do it asap. Great video and happy belated Mother’s Day Paula !🎉

[@MariaSF60]

Thanks so much for sharing all this great info on SW American history!! SOOO interesting. I remember dancing to the song about the ATSF RR line back when I was a kid - brought back lots of memories. Have a list of all the great places you mention in your videos so we can visit when we come to LV!! Much love ❤️❤️❤️ See you both next Sunday!

[@kayyeaman7071]

So much fun! Thanks!

[@yvettekelley2155]

Those steaks look fantastic. Appreciate the fun tour❤

[@marleneroberts2257]

Loved this road trip! 👍🏻

[@celiadileone2841]

I so enjoy your Sunday vlogs! Looks like a really cool place to visit! Stay well❤

[@abatude5879]

Beautiful trip

[@teresahriljac6931]

We thoroughly enjoyed this video. You guys do a wonderful job. Cheers 🇦🇺

[@josephmalloytravels7516]

Thanks!

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Wow Joe!!! We just saw this - thank you AGAIN, so much, for your generosity! 🥰

[@josephmalloytravels7516]

Great vlog nice to see other stuff besides las Vegas 😉 Thanks for sharing Cheers 🥂🥂

[@tonybrigner3866]

thanks for the tour dale and paula it was awesome both of you have a great week

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

When I was a kid back in 1967, our family drove through Kingman on our way to Sacramento from Tulsa Oklahoma to see family.. I was ten years old and wish I would had asked Dad to stop and look around...We went through so many big towns. Great video!!

[@pauulmerucci9081]

Love your vid, you guys go a great job

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

Fantastic video!

[@kathleenbrenner6296]

What a wonderful road trip!!! I’m in love with every place you showed 🥰

[@Go4Corvette]

I'll be in Quartzsite, AZ for the next big tent show and RTR. I will also be camping there for the winter, so I'll need to check Kingman out and that steakhouse for sure. Thanks for the tour.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

You won't regret it - those steaks are the real deal :)

[@maryannmcpherson2811]

What a great video guys!!! I really enjoyed it!😀😀😀😀

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thanks so much!!😊

[@Naomikimura2024]

Amazing video

[@Solvet862]

Fantastic day! Thank you for sharing your day with KZbin. Have you ever been to Tombstone? I know it's over 7 hours away.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

We used to go to Tombstone about twice a year! Love it there...but believe it or not, have never gone back since we started vlogging. We need to change that, because it's so picturesque, not to mention all the history.

[@benwakefield93]

Came across you from your Las Vegas ballpark video. Love how upbeat your videos are! Well edited. Anyone would think your a pair of 20 year old vloggers 😂. New subcriber from the UK 🇬🇧

[@DaleMcKenzie]

We are so happy you discovered us - thank you for the kind compliments, and welcome to LVIO 😊

[@voiceofreason5653]

The Chloride post office used to be a pool hall. There is a symbol of a ball and rack on the facade of the building.

[@bobm7499]

Dam, what a bar! Passed through Kingman on my way to the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. Yep, I remember the traffic as I had to stop for gas. Had no idea what a cool place it is. Why I watch. Nothing like a spur of the moment road trip to cure what ails ya! And on the Mother Road no less. Again, a great video. Next stop? Virginia City? Asking for a friend. 🙂

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Oh Bob, why haven't we been there yet on this channel?? We haven't been up there in ten years - seriously - and we are SO overdue! Maybe this year...

[@emazonreviews6269]

Beautiful as usual an amazing video ! I’ll be in Vegas July 8-10 could I treat you two to a gin and tonic and Bud Light 🥰

[@cavilier]

I would like to see you and Paula doing a video tour of the Clark County Museum

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Terrific idea, yes - we love that museum, and it would make a great vlog topic. LOTS of history!

[@marksears1124]

Anyone born before 1965 knows Andy Devine 😊

[@tvanw12]

Hi, I enjoyed this video, AZ is just right next door from me in New Mexico. Have you ever thought of doing a trip to Grand Canyon South Rim via Grand Canyon Airlines? Thank you for your videos.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

We have had Grand Canyon on our list for a while, but will likely drive, and stay overnight in Williams. Hope to get there soon!

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

Chloride is a very cool stop. Do they still have the rock murals just outside of town?

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Yes, they sure do - but because we got such a late start, and wanted to get to Kingman before things closed on a Sunday, we didn't take the time to go capture them.

[@bernardabelsbondchannel]

🤠

[@karenc9886]

👍👍

[@JonVicha]

Video good 👍 Jim Ross ATL

[@user-tg8zo1rd5w]

Don’t forget Clark Gable and CaroleLambertwere married in kingman

[@kevinfestner6126]

Anyone explain why 93 is 75 mph, while the loop around Boulder City is 65? I think it should be 80!

[@khunopie9159]

Did somebody say "pie?"
