I have family that used to live in North Vegas...place is uh....interesting. I'd take a nice walk now and then between downtown and the strip.......I stopped in for some fine Mexican cuisine(tacos). Afterwards, I needed to sit so I went inside of a peepshow both and watched a video for a couple minutes of a buncha chicks pissing on other chicks on a black tarp. The place had a musty smell associated with Middle Eastern-owned convenience stores. I left, fully experiencing the culture of the desolate area between the Strip and Downtown.
The neighborhood isn't great, but not overly dangerous. Lots of beggers and drug addicts. I didn't have cash, but did carry a few pixie sticks.......beggars didn't like them much. Witnessed a homeless guy taking a shit in front of the Monte Carlo at around 6 am....I was on my way to breakfast....never have I seen a major casino completely empty....granted, it was after 6, but still....creepy. I tossed a quarter at a hobo who was holding a sign "Betcha can't hit me with a quarter." I did......score!
The dry heat baked my face to a color of an anal cyst. My fingers swelled and I had difficulty removing my wedding band....which I later lost. Yea right, my wife said.....obviously I was at a strip joint where the women were great for engaging in political conversation....I was just annoyed at all the dollar bills I had to keep fronting....I just wanted to drink my Sprite is all.
I don't gamble at all. But I do like horseback riding(not bareback, you sick Getbig fucks) and offroading in the rented Chevy Blazer. I later fronted more money and rented an ATV.....much more fun. Did some hiking up around Mt. Charleston where I had some hot cocoa and egg whites(with one yolk). I live in south Florida and everything is flat. Mountains are gorgeous to look at and while horseback riding or ATVing, it was just me and the hills with nary a soul around...so peaceful.
