If I were you I'd set up shop in South Lake Tahoe for a few weeks and bask in the glory of it all

Pahrump used to have legal prostitution.LebamDawg said:well I made it thru New Mexico, Arizona, and now in Nevada - Pahrump. Did not feel like stopping in Vegas, I actually hate Vegas. Too big and no place to stop and set up for a bit. Pahrump is kind of different, gonna use it for hitting up Death Valley and a couple of other places. Stopped in Laughlin for 5 days, Quartzsite for 5 days, Casa Grande for 2 weeks and Bowie for 5 days.
Stopped at Don Laughlin's Riverside Casino for a few hours of spend my money wastefully - what happened to buckets of quarters and pulling on the one-armed bandit? Everything is fancy as shit electronics with flash, bang, boom - so much shit going on you can't concentrate on how much the game costs or how do you win on the machine. After 3 hours MrsIamNotinLebam and I are down about $400 and I sit down with her and she is playing this machine and tells me to play the machine next to her.
Mumbling I do - this machine I have no clue about it I win some fancy deal where I get 12 free spins. after about 4 free ones, I win another 8 free spins. The machine is running by itself, I do nothing. Lady on the other side is excited as shit - she says I just hit A few $100 wins and it is still going. I ended up winning $795 by not touching the machine. Took the smile off the machine and cashed out. Lost another $200 before leaving so broke even for 4 hours of gambling.
I do not move very fast - heading to the shambles that is Warshington eventually. Go slow so spring might arrive before I do
Here are some pics of desert and more desert and I am still in the desert just at higher elevation*

Colorado River made into a lake from Casino

Edit: *could be altitude but would have to consult with long gone Damone -

Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah is interesting. The Clown Motel, not so much.
People forget the Mexican crime boss Ray Romano was banging in Get Shorty was based out of Pahrump.

The actual reason I know this is that the National Training Center or NTC at Fort Irwin is about 3 hours from Vegas.
NTC training scenarios imagined a made up Soviet type country invading a neighboring made up country. The Soviet country was called Pahrumpistan or something and I remember my boss telling me about the origin of the name. I was highly disappointed when I found out we wouldn’t be visiting Pahrump. -
