I can't name it, but I can see it. It's the one on Valley View on the west side of the road, right?

It has a man's name, doesn't it? Like Tom's or Ted's or??? Something like that.

When the front of the casinos had nice and big lawns between them and the sidewalks.

When you used to stand there at night and follow the lights on the Dunes sign with your eyes go all the way up and around the word 'DUNES' and meet at the peak and then go all the way down to the ground and then go back all the way up and around the word 'DUNES' and meet at the peak and then go all the way down to the floor and then...

When small plastic containers with the casino's logo used to be stacked next to each slot machine.

Remember the noise of coins banging each other.

When you can J-walk the strip.

Cheers.

The only Costco in town was down Bonanza. The biggest high school was Bonanza High School. Henderson was MILES away from town...No one would EVER want to live OUT there! Centennial? Nothing out there...

There was also a safe house here where they would come to town and pick up weapons then leave on their "mission". And they did do several car bombings. News reporters' cars were a prime target. And they found a bomb in Harry Reid's car before it went off.



Al Bramlet was an exception.....they had to get the unions in line.



But even with Ned Day they waited til he was in Hawaii

You're thinking of Larry's, but that ain't it.
