...or "The Middle of Nowhere Rally"

Remember the RST1000 "Futura?!??  Was a stinker in the marketplace, but I remember test riding one...and it was not too bad...kind of funky lines and design, however... :rolleyes: :shocked: :wink: :grin: :laugh:

Lots of government/military facilities in Nevada these days. Enough to keep the casinos and escort services solvent, anyway.

I did go past the Bunny Ranch on the way to the NV state rally at night.  Seems the owners made enough money to open a Bunny Ranch Business Plaza.  They were advertising "free hotdogs".  Somehow, I don't think they're free.   :angel:

The thing that puzzles me most about Nevada is that they haven't made everything legal.

The hot dogs are free. The buns, however, will cost you big time!

Let's see, now...

Caesar's Entertainment - bankrupt.
Station Casinos - bankrupt (more than once).
M Resort - bankrupt.
Cosmopolitan - seized by creditors.
Fontainebleau - bankrupt.
Terrible's and associated companies - bankrupt or heavily reorganized to keep the wolves away.

The casino industry is 100% reliant on the disposable income of its customers, and there wasn't much of that from 2008-2015.

You don't see too many military people in the casinos, and government workers in Nevada are paid only two grades above the wait staff.
