"Gun slinging, gambling halls, strip joints, marijuana shops. What's not to like about this town?" Those aren't my words, rather they belong to a pal of mine in Las Vegas. My friend John, who I often refer to as Johnny Las Vegas. At the time, he was responding to my question on what he liked most about the town. Those kind of responses are why I like to call him Johnny Las Vegas.
For all my friends good traits, the thing I find most endearing about him? He's a registered Libertarian. I met him at a Libertarian rally a few months back. He used to live in Pahrump, for those of you not familiar with Pahrump? It's one of the places in Nevada where you can find legal brothels. Johnny actually worked for one of the brothels as a bouncer. Pahrump got a little boring for him, so he packed up and moved to Las Vegas a few years ago. "Johnny, I have a question for you. What was it like working in a brothel? Did you ever get any perks for free?" I had this picture in my mind of Johnny standing there like Caligula and a hundred girls standing naked in front of him.
"Rob, to be honest with you, working at the Chicken Ranch wasn't much fun. Most of the time I sat outside and watched the gate. I never saw any perks. Girls at that place never gave a thing away for free. It was really pretty boring. That's why I moved to Las Vegas. This town is 1000x more exciting than some outpost like Pahrump! No wild orgy stories here." Nowadays, Johnny works at a seedy strip club in North Las Vegas. He's offered to waive the cover for me on a number of occasions, but I always pass. I hate North Las Vegas. Now if he worked at one of the finer gentlemen clubs in town? I'd take him up on the offer.
"Rob I read your blog the other day and I've figured out why your luck with women is so bad in Las Vegas." Johnny always seems to have a new girl on his arm every time I see him. I'm not that impressed by them, but according to him? It beats nothing. "Rob, your wanting to find a Las Vegas girl on the outside and a Kansas girl on the inside. I'm hear to tell you brother! That dog won't hunt!" I thought about what he said, and he was right. I'd love to shove a Kansas girl into the body and appearance of a Vegas girl. Does that make sense?
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."Senator Harry Reid, I like to refer to him as Uncle Harry..Anyways, he made a statement a year or so ago about how he would like to rid the State of Nevada of whore houses. Reid stated that companies don't want to move to an environment where the school bus has to drive by a brothel. Joe Conforte, a Libertarian, and the owner of the Chicken Ranch at the time said this about Senator Reid's statement.."They will have to take the keys to this place from my dead, cold hands."
