There's the story of Mary and Joseph and how there was no room for them at the inn, then there's the story of Joseph and I and how there was no room for us in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Here's The Story Of Mary And Joseph:
6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6-7, NKJV)

Here's Our Story:
My middle name is Wamaitha, I'm named after my paternal grandmother. Her name was Martha Wamaitha. So in a way, I'm also Martha.
In 2001, my younger brother Joseph and I had planned a weekend trip to Las Vegas (Nevada) and The Grand Canyon. Our plan was to fly into Vegas, rent a car, spend the first night in Vegas then drive to The Grand Canyon the next day. I had made the necessary reservations.
At the last minute, we changed our plans and we decided to go to The Grand Canyon right away, then see Vegas on our way home. In the confusion of the spontaneous change of plans, I didn't sort out the reservations.
We had a great time at The Grand Canyon, but when we drove back to Vegas, there was no room for us anywhere. There was a big fight in Vegas that night and the rooms were fully booked. We went from hotel, to hotel, to hotel and there was nothing.
We drove farther and farther out of Vegas looking for a place to stay and there was absolutely nothing. In the early hours of the morning, we gave up and decided to sleep in the car. We spent the rest of the night in the car in a hotel parking lot.
