It rarely snows in Vegas, but the few years I saw it were funny. The city is paralyzed. The only plows are up in Mount Charleston to the west. They don’t share them. Those of us who grew up in a snowbelt did fine. Just drive a little slower and give distances between cars. It…

This is a hotel you love or hate. No one is neutral about it. I had good friends stay there and the enjoyed it. As a player I found it annoying with kids screaming while playing near the pit. There were circus acts above the pit that were distracting. There is a smell like no…

My family moved to Vegas and we had 3 generations on the house. It was a very funky duplex which was where the trouble with the Gand started. The duplex had an outside door in every room. It made it easy to move in. There was a few issues though. Religious missionaries would knock on…

There is a park with nice pond with large cottonwood trees. It is SE of the airport. It is a nice place to relax. Children play while their parents watch. The temperature is cooled by the trees and the pond. I like to hang out there from time to time. Then I looked into its…

Las Vegas was a cowboy town with Casinos. When I got there in 91 you would see people riding horses. Lots of ranches around the Strip. Downtown had some hitching posts. The politics were very Libertarian. People did what they wanted and as a long as it didn’t violate a law they were left alone.…

Thanksgiving in Vegas was a weird holiday. As a cabby I got a free Turkey from a casino. As a dealer I had to work the Holiday usually. I was a graveyard dealer as you know, and this let me have the holiday at home for a little lack of sleep. Not a lot of…

All lot of the comments say I helped them. I can figure out how. Most of these stories are about my bad decisions. I am bipolar and all of the lights and action kept me in a manic as a default. Setting. Most of these good stories were me making very bad choices while in…

Palms casino had a cab driver/ limo driver preopen. We were given Palm dollars to gamble with at the tables. We got to tour every and try the buffet. The buffet was really good with more regions than most. I was exploring with 3 other cabbies. We had heard of the night club at the…

I despise California Pizza. I grew up 20 miles south east of downtown Chicago. When I moved to Vegas I searched for a good gyro, a good Italian Beef, and a good pizza. I tried a lot of pizza. They were not anywhere near what I was looking for. I could not find a gyro…

Cab drivers have to eat on the run at fast food if it is busy. It gets old fast and you get fat. Fast food I liked though was Del Taco. It made the best fast food burritos in my opinion. I also liked Arbys for variety. Beyond that I had no preference and if…
