Oh, my. Thanks for the info, granny. Well, Amy, you might want to think twice about taking Marissa to the Circus Circus....or at least do some further checking into it.
I haven't been to Las Vegas in several years, but when I was last there I had a great time, although it wouldn't be a place I would want to take young children. I had heard that it was more "family friendly" now, but I don't know from first-hand experience.
If we go to Vegas, we will stay someplace with an indoor pool. I think there is lots to see in the area. She would enjoy the dancing waters at the Bellagio (?) and some of the other things.
We haven’t been there for about 6 years. The growth there is unbelievable.
I talked to Scott, who works in one of the Laughlin casinos, last night, he did not have any information on the Circus Circus.
Most do not realize that Las Vegas has major gang problems, you will not hear it on the news.
I have known for years, as the prior Sheriff came in for an interview, once a month on KDWN radio, and he said several years ago, that there were 500 and more gangs then.
Today I understand it is 800 gangs, and I mean machete, gun toting gang members.
Downtown is one of the areas that the gangs are thick in.
You will be surprised at what is going on in your town, if you listen to the actual police scanners.
Google for :
listen to police scanner on internet
