And, might I add, it took me a while to connect that you were the same Don-O that uploaded those K-Dawn airchecks to YouTube. Small world.
I plan to have some extra cash on my next Vegas trip to visit Bonanza Store. That flashing Welcome sign should drive those dogs nuts.....especially if I plat to on my window faceing the street.

Great show......clicky star from a this random drop in
I remember seeing those hotels BEFORE their makeover. That whole section of town looked like a horror movie rolled into a post-apocalyptic snuff film. Good times. :D
my pops moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in the early fifties. His father had "friend" that said he could get him a job working with Bugsy Siegal in Las Vegas if he decided not to press forward to CA
I agree. I certainly brings out the 'urban rat' in me. Lately, I've spent more time in Downtown and Naked City than the strip.

Don-O:
.....btw, I've been going to that Carl's Jr. across that Strat for the past 40 years....back when the Strat was Vegas World......ooops, make that Son Stupak's Vegas World!
Carl's Jr. and In-N-Out were usually on the "eat list" when I went out there since I don't have either where I live. All the restaurants in town and I go for those. I know, I know...
Oh heack yeah. The Punk Rock Bowling festival, the Viva Las Vegas rockabilly weekend, The Punk Rock Museum, all the new tiki bars (Frankies!), the museum of burlesque...lotsa cool stuff. Almost all of it off the Strip, of course.

I saw the singer's new band The Eerie Idols last week. He tells me the Junk Rumblers disbanded.

Well, we suffered through two sets of quality material at the top of the show, but the wait has paid off. We didn't ask for it, and we probably don't deserve it.
