Today's issue of the LVRJ has an article discussing a new megaresort to be built on the South strip on 77 acres across from Mandalay Bay. Remember, past discussions about Richard Branson being involved in a casino being built in this area. This may be it!

Read a report from a LV station that the owner of the Laughing Jackalope Casino has rejected offers to buy his land so they are planning to build the new megaresort around the property.

The Laughin Jackalope? That sounds like a "must" on my diving expedition this month<g>. Has anybody been there?

Daisy,

I thought Lee posted in the past that he had visited the Laughing Jackalope. Probably so!<LOL>

Beth

YES,
I've been to the Laughing Jackalope!
Sue and I wandered in one sunny day on a lark. We had already had a few under our belts, and deceided to give the place a try. The name always caught my eye when we'd pass the place. It's a bar, with video poker, a juke box, and that's it. From the outside it looks pretty clean, but there where a lot of construction workers and such inside and they all drug mud and dirt in all over the floor. We got a couple of rolls of quarters and orderd a beer. Didn't hit any thing big, but it did keep us playing for quite a while. (that turned out to be a bad thing) My wife just wanted to get out of the place. There was some rough talk at one end of the bar, and we thought a fight was about to break out. Then the bartender yelled at some guy playing the juke box and told him if he plays that song again she was going to jump over the bar and beat him. (a rather rough looking manly woman bartender). That was our cue, to get the H out of there. We never went back, but everytime we pass the place I ask Sue, if we should stop! LOL

In other words, I don't have to dress fancy?

You look great Daisy, I told ya! P.S. Be sure and wear your six shooters. Wendell

Daisy,
Dress code for the Laughing Jackalope...
Wear oldest thing you own, prefurably painting clothes or the frumpy sick clothes, then roll around in a mud puddle for say 2 min., that will get you in the front door.
After that your on your own! LOL
Oh BTW, we where wearing our fanny packs, so we REALLY stood out in the crowd.
The phrase "You ain't from around here, are ya?" was mentioned a few times!

Lee, it sounds like my exercise duds would serve nicely, providing I didn't wash them for a couple of weeks<g>.

Wendell, thanks for reminding me I want to hit the gun range on one of my trips.
