Tomorrow we're going to town so we both can get our bi-annual eye exams. They have that capability here in Pahrump, but it's in the local Walmart Supercenter, and just going near that local slug hangout turns my stomach. Just last weekend two drugged up 21 year old tattooed & nose-ringed punks were arrested inside for joy-riding store owned motorized scooters thru the aisles, smashing into as many displays and running down as many shoppers as possible in the process.
Events like these happen over there all the time over there in this Obama-loving entitlement town of greater than 40% unemployment. The best part of Pahrump are the RV parks of course because for 7-8 months a year they're loaded with oldies. There's never any incidents of crime by these creeps that I've heard of in these parks, and I'm told it's because they fear all the old folks pack iron inside their rigs, and it is a classic "stand your ground" state. Right they are: I have a half dozen handguns in here myself.
So after the eye exams we're heading downtown to the new Mob Museum, then to a Thai restaurant we both like that's located in Park Plaza on Paradise pretty close to the LVH. Afterwards we're checking into the Rio, because I'm 100& W*P, and the 2012 San Gennaro Feast is being held there. We 've never had the chance to see this event until now.
The next day we're just gonna walk the Strip starting at Mandalay Bay as far as who knows where. We'll also do something I've always wanted to try if it's still running: ride the monorail. For dinner we're going out to an old hangout of mine when I used to play professionally--the Rampart in Summerlin. Haven't been there in at least 3 years. Its ownership keeps changing hands, so I'm hoping it hasn't gone downhill any.
