Iived in Pahrump from 1989-2000 Ans best thing about Pahrump is when you look at it in your review mirror at high speeds going away. I worked at that Terribles Town when it had a Kenny Rodgers in it and that Taco Bell. Best thing that happened is when I left. I went back to visit in 2019, and the winery was nice.... But really everything else is falling apart. Sadle West was a pit, it's in serious need of a remodel. If your interested in seeing something that looks almost like it did in 1996 that's a great place to start.
After moving from heavy snow winters in Reno to the very hot climate in Pahrump it certainly a change in life styles. All considered Pahrump is not where you move to but rather where you should move from. I came for the weather (the heat) and boy was I not let down, hot hot hot. It also seems that during these hot days almost all residents do not have "cold" water in the homes or for gardening. Your cold water faucet or taps in your home stays warm, tepid, to hot depending on the sun that day but never cold. You can get a very decent home for a good price when you shop around with a realtor. Am I happy in Pahrump, to soon to really know as I haven't gone into many places yet except the Saddle West restaurant, worst food ever. Good gas prices, a Walmart, Home Depot looks to be a newer hospital, 1 small car dealership, misc independent restaurants and all the common burger franchise eateries available. Heavy travel roads kept nicely, off streets pretty bad for travel hard on suspensions and comfort. This Pahrump seems to be a poorer town but they are trying to come into the 21st century, actually reminds me some of Tijuana like passing through it. After moving here I would re consider doing so again but I'm here now and don't want to move again so I will just go with the flow and live out whats left of my life and try to enjoy and instead of being a "snow bird" going south for the winter months I will be traveling to cooler climates during the summer months as constantly to hot is just to hot.
@@Milestomemories Most of us residents of Pahrump love it here. I have lived here 4 1/2 years and bought a home here, prior to that I lived in Las Vegas for many years and raised my kids there. Pahrump is not as poor as people seem to think but it is rural which is how we like it. If this area grows too big in population many of us will probably sell out and find another great small town to live in which I doubt will happen any time soon. To grow a town needs jobs and most industries are better off in Las Vegas. This is more a retirement community where us retired folk have escaped the rat race and big city problems.
@@christykrueger9401 Back when I did Estate Planning work our clients were mostly retirees who lived in Vegas in the old days and moved to Pahrump because Vegas had grown too big. Makes sense. A lot of retirees and then services jobs, etc. It's nice that the road between Vegas and Pahrump is getting widened. That should help the commute a bit although the construction has dragged on forever. Thanks for the insight Christy!
Turning into a male Karen because Bob is just doing his job is bullshit. This guy needs to grow up and quit getting his feelings hurt. People forget that the customer ISN’T always right anymore. Thankfully.
I lived in Pahrump for 18 months in late 2020 until February 2022. It was like being in the Twilight Zone. The criminal class runs everything and many of the people there are extremely rude and have very little formal education. Swindlers and con people everywhere. Truly the worst living experience of my entire life.
Have you ever been to Pahrump? What is your favorite part? Are you interested in a follow up video about all of Pahrump's interesting non-casino places?
Great vid! I always wondered how you get so much footage around casinos... I've tried to record before just for fun... And they seem to come over right away. 🤣 By the way... I've only known of Pahrump for one thing... Didn't know they had a booming economy. 😉
I imagine the lack of water and being in a separate and probably impoverished county (Nye) is what keeps this place from growing into a proper city. It's too bad because if there was a way to get water, it's in a great location in a flat area between Las Vegas, NV and Death Valley, CA and has LOTS of space! But it seems like they don't have the money there to make it too much of an attractive area. I do know that there is a winery there, though, that has gotten good reviews although the ownership changed last year. I think the name of it is Pahrump Valley Winery.
There is also a local museum (Pahrump Valley Museum) that you could visit as well and perhaps also review the dining establishments in the city. Obviously the restaurants can't compare with the ones in the Las Vegas Valley, but they could be compared with other ones in Pahrump to see which are the best and worst places to dine at in Pahrump.
Maybe you should consider purchasing a body cam just like what the Police have. I purchased one for my daughter for when she’s jogging and now I have one for me the entire set up roughly $200.
U got quite a bit of your info wrong we live in Pahrump my daughter works security at one of the casinos u mentioned the building at lakeside is not a private home it's what they r calling a bungalow 2 story 3 or 4 bedroom that you can rent out but you have to rent out at 3 day slots of time but actually very affordable at least it was B4 carina shut down.. and it comes equipt with all comforts of home, kitchen grilling area outside pool, spa and a living room entertainment area then bedrooms upstairs ect.. but anyway good job on the video.. I think u should do a few more on the seedier parts of Pahrump, the not so well known hidden gems, and spots to check out, and the better small business places that actually make it more bearable to actually live or visit here... There is more to Pahrump and Vegas than gambling and drinking ect.. u should do a show on best family spots or outings to enjoy ect.. I know it's very limited here if u don't gamble or drink and even less for kids of all ages to do but we r hoping the man who owns the race track and "beach area exclusive private club(at the moment) will be able to finish his plans on his new facilities there as u come into town from Vegas: supposed to be new shops/mall type area, new fancy hotel, and a movie theater, a gym, and good stuff coming in soon! More things created twords families & kids of all ages.. we hope it happens so many things were supposed to happen like a super Wal Mart was supposed to be built out by lakeside several years ago and was supposed to be completed shortly after we moved here from Iowa(sight unseen) in 2015 but ground was never broken for that center or the other buisness that were to be put around it like a mall type area... We desperately need something more than the Wal Mart we have here now: staffing is horrible, if u thought Bob was rude LOL!!! U HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING.. And unfortunately they don't follow corporate rules, values, or proper care of customers either.. they are improperly trained, and treat customers like you are in their way.. I worked with Wal Mart and so did my daughter and poor Sam Walton is flip flop ping in his grave to see how poorly some of his companies have been ran, treated, and how poorly the employees here specially are being trained or not trained... My daughter was trained in Iowa in all areas and was A.P. department, picked this location purposely so that she could transfer she took a sizable pay cut and cut in insurances, vacation times ect.. was treated horribly here, and they kept trying to tell her wrong info because of their poor training... So many violations throughout the place u couldn't even imagine.. inside theft, possible embezzlement and that's just the tip of the iceberg my son also worked there and decided well they both decided they couldn't work for such a corrupt place and so she went and did her tests and training to be a security guard to move on to bigger and better things and my son went back to Iowa which was sad for us all but he is much happier there it's very hard here to make friends that are genuine and trustworthy and again have things to do family oriented and have things to do for the kids and just enjoy yourself without it involving a casino a bar or somewhere filled with smoke LOL but the scenery is gorgeous and some of the festivals are fun and they do have a great Fourth of July fireworks show and events also that air balloon festival is usually very cool to watch and participate in as well.. LOL sorry about the long message just wanted to add a few things there about our seedy little town and little secrets and big secrets and a lot of other things that there are to do here that don't cost any money or a little bit of money and just to enjoy the beautiful mountains and outside areas around Pahrump hiking mines the China day ranch is not far from here cathedral canyon which has been torn up bad but is still beautiful place and remarkable place that that man one man built that and just so places like that things in the mountains that you'll see cave systems and different things like that so lot of older history and the sand here is not actually sand but crushed crushed shells from all of the water that used to be above land here it was one of the biggest aqueducts in the United States and now I believe it still is an aqueduct for most of the United States but it's all underground now but that's why the sand is so just different here because it's crushed shells and that's why it acts differently than sand or mud or or a different kinds of things like that just a little interesting facts
Hey Harper. I'm sorry in saying that was a private home I meant a private place people could rent and realize how my words could have been confusing. What I was saying is it was a private home for rent in Lakeside. It is owned by Lakeside and part of the complex. As for Golden Entertainment they own Lakeside, Gold Town and Pahrump Nugget. I was correct with that info. Thanks for the rest of the info on Pahrump. Maybe I'll do another video down the line showing more of Pahrump outside of the casinos!
@@Milestomemories There is another small casino here in Pahrump called Irene's with some really good food, a nice bar, and small gaming area. My favorite place to dine.
I worked for quite a while at the three golden properties. I worked there both before and after golden entertainment purchased the Terrible properties. That large house at Lakeside is known as The Boathouse. It was originally built by the Herbst family for them to use when they came out to Pahrump . If you look you'll notice the roof is actually the awning that goes over gasoline pumps (the Herbst family made their money from the Terrible Herbst gas stations) that's just been extended higher to make a 3 story building.
A visit to Pah-Rump and not one view of any of the brothels......unbelievable. The brothels did get a big covid-19 check from the government due to their forced shutdown.
I fly into LV on my annual 2019 vacation, rented a car & drove out to Pahrump for a night. I did so because I used to listen to Coast to Coast radio show when it was hosted by Art Bell, who lived in Pahrump. I heard about it enough times I decided to go see it. I stayed at the Nugget & played there; I describe it as ok. Ok rooms, low key casino w better odds than LV & friendly people. Everything was open in August 2019, but it still wasn't very busy. Not at all what you would call "real exciting." But the steakhouse in the Nugget was good, and I found a little country breakfast place in town that was good. I like wines, so on my way back to LV I stopped at 2 in the area. To my surprise, the wines were really good! The people at both wineries were friendly & helpful. They helped me put together a mail order box of wines, so they were waiting for me when I got home! My Pahrump Valley Winery self tour ended up being the best part of that trip. If you like wine, I encourage you to leave LV, take the 40 minute drive out there & give the Pahrump Valley Wineries a try!
My wife and I live in Wisconsin and go to Vegas 2 to 3 times a year and we always rent a car and have been in Pahrump many times as well as Death Valley.
@@Milestomemories I listened to him since 80s I drove truck and ran nights George Norey replaced him when he retired and moved to the Philippines after his wife died I think the show is still on but I retired 2018 and dont listen anymore, I drove for walmart and delivered to the Walmart they built in Pahrump sometimes.man pahrump has realy grown since the 90s
I hate Pahrump. Nothing appealing about it whatsoever. Just a wasteland of old buildings, hard desert dirt, cactus and dry sagebrush. The only reason to visit are the winery and the houses of ill repute.
I spent a lot of time driving around Pahrump -- you're right, it is a huge area for the population -- looking to find Art Bell (the LATE Art Bell) 's compound. No joy. I miss Art in his prime. I loved how, when he gave the address for mail, he'd say "Pahrump -- DON'T LAUGH -- Nevada, .. .." Nevada is in my top 5 favorite states, precisely FOR places like Pahrump, Elko, Winnemucca, Austin, Tonopah, Ely . . .etc. I LOVE small-town Nevada and the state in general. Basque food (in the N ) in particular.
@@Milestomemories Look forward to it! I'll never forget once driving through Goldfield (another one!) on US95 and there was a dog asleep ON US95. As i approached him he sort of lazily got up and moved to the side to let me pass. There are not many places with so little traffic on major highways where dogs can safely snooze in the roadway :-)
Yes! There are definitely some other interesting parts of Pahrump that maybe I’ll cover in another video. The raceway, brothels, Art Bell’s history, the Binion stuff and I guess maybe even Death Valley.
I hope that the Nugget owners hear what your saying...There’s no need to be rude ever....especially in the public sector. Wow that firework shop looked fabulous... It’s nearly our firework time....Bonfire Night the 5 th of November....celebrating Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament our equivalent of the White House in the UK here.... Looks so interesting out there..... Do they have resort fee’s in the Pahrump casinos? Great video.....👍👍 Ps love the name Pahrump!!
My dad is a painter in pahrump and he was actually the one painted Blackjack Fireworks ( I’m not trying to brag if anybody thought that way, just saying )
I moved to Pahrump in 1988. Only 8,000 people then. Saddle West is the oldest casino/hotel there. I watched it, along with Las Vegas grow. I left in 2012 for Phoenix. Lakeside Casino has always been my favorite place to go visit
Any retirees in Dessert Greens? Can anyone tell me how they like it? Thanks much. Cool Vid. Everytime I turn on Live PD there's a tweaker goin down the road on a quad in the dark or being caught for theft or altercation. Those tweaker women tho... Dammit. Harsh lookin. What a job. Sherrif's deputy chasin tweakers in the dessert smh.
You guys can also check out Tecopa Hot springs located outside of Parhump on the California side. Nice place to go hiking, get some raw honey and dates, and enjoy a nice soak in the hot springs totally naked.
Thanks for that correction! I have a 1/4 acre in Vegas and that's giant! I always forget how big the lots are out there. Most seem to be undeveloped though. Minor landscaping in the front and no backyards.
That track is cool. I have it on my list if I do a follow up video. I think there might be enough outside the casinos out there to do another video down the line!
my son lives in Pahrump , I was wondering what it looked like out there, I will be going out for a visit soon do you have any suggest on any other videos on Pahrump I can watch? ty
@@MGreen-vz6yb Filming in a casino is against the law. The content creator had been asked by security staff at two other properties to cease recording. A flagrant disregard for both law and policy should have gotten him booked, an ass chewing was his best case scenario.
8:11...ummm, sorry...describing this place as “not terrible”? You are Very kind, since, Yeah, it kinda is Terrible....it reminds me of low-income housing a few miles south of where I live in central San Diego...
The younger guy is a bit on the cocky side, I could never deal with someone like him, glad I watched the show. I was a Big City boy in LA CA and this guy acts like he is from La Jolla CA, Vegas is far from high class , its a shit hole 🕳️ desert.. Pahrump is much more realistic in my opinion, unless you enjoy hearing your neighbors fart..
I remember in 2021, I was looking for a house too purchase in Las Vegas, I was talking to a friend in the taxi, and the driver mentioned Pahrump that I should move there, that's its really pretty...... glad I didn't
We also have these same Geese in parks around Las Vegas they used to stop by in the winter months then continue their trip north in Spring, but many of these Geese now live in the Desert, I have even seen their baby geese, now I call them Desert Geese because they decided to stay.
Nice Video, too bad that is the town where the Mandalay Bay Las Vegas Shooter lived. I wonder if living in that town drove him crazy? For some reason I thought that town was up in the Mountains, people keep saying it is a lot cooler than Vegas. The Fireworks were a little too expensive to buy ,just to blow them up. Looking forward to your next video they are always interesting. Thanks
And Binion, movies were made about him and some footage shot there,also one scene in Rainman was made there, while I lived there. Does Heidi Fleiss live there still?
Wow I didn't know it had grown to 40K nor did I know you had an influx since Covid. If I remember correctly the last census had Pahrump at around 20K people meaning it has been a decade of growth!
My Son still goes there to see high school friends. It's been about 20 years since I've lived there. Hot springs, gateway to Death Valley about 20 miles away, Chicken Ranch,
The "ducks" are Canadian geese. I never get why people want to live in small towns, but it's fun to look around and see what it's like. Thanks for the tour.
Hey man. Your approach needs improvement. I like your channel. You should not come at these small businesses with your camera out front. Ask permission first.
This was filmed a few years ago but I don't see an issue filming in areas when there aren't any no filming signs. That said, I do things a bit differently now and will be revisiting Pahrump for an updated video soon. I'll look for businesses that actually want to be highlighted. Thanks for the polite reply.
LOL Bob is my boss...he might be an ass, but you had been asked REPEATEDLY to stop filming before he got to you. It is common knowledge that you cannot film in a casino. It is a small courtesy to ask of our patrons. You filmed employees and patrons without their knowledge or consent and then posted it publicly online. Plenty of reasons to have had a negative visit, but being told to follow the rules 30 times before you finally got yelled at was on you. At least shed light on real problems. SMH.
Hey Tweed. I'm not sure who you are or why you are posting this comment, but Bob was the first person I came in contact with and I didn't film after I was told not to. Additionally I didn't film the casino since I went in and filmed the bowling alley and Bob stopped me in the hallway before I ever got to the casino. The only thing I filmed near the casino was that short shot of the exit door. But to say I was told 30X to stop is ridiculous and a lie. I was asked to stop filming once and I did. The fact I called Bob out had nothing to do with that at all. It was how he behaved. But if someone is telling employees that I was asked numerous times to stop maybe I should contact Golden Entertainment corporate and file a complaint so they will pull the tapes to prove this story a lie. Please don't come on my channel and post lies. I complied with Bob and everyone else.
I'll also add that despite Bob's rude behavior I didn't disparage the Nugget and I still showed and complimented the bowling alley, etc. Perhaps as an employee you can appreciate that. I have respect for workers like you and my ultimate goal is to highlight these places which should lead to more exposure and awareness. People like Bob are bad for business though.
@@Milestomemories You absolutely filmed in the casino. The video is right here. As I said there are plenty of issues that could have been mentioned, we're all aware of that, but as someone who was on duty that day I'm also aware there was more to the visit than what you said. That's what's upsetting. At the root of it you did something you weren't supposed to and I don't believe for a second you weren't aware. People do things like this and it encourages others to do the same and then we're faced with the fallout. You filmed patrons and employees without knowledge or consent and posted their faces online. You had no right to do that. This wasn't a public gathering it was private property.
@@lucidreigns3275 I don't believe a word from your lying mouth tweed. The fact you claim he was told 30 times to stop filming just amplifies your dishonesty.
Bob was actually having a good day. Haha. Shame on Bob's employer as he is, in a way, an ambassador of the casino. You can deal with a situation in two ways: being polite but firm, or Bob's way. Thanks for this video. I have heard of Pahrump, but never been there.
Golden bought the two Terrible's properties around the time of the Terrible's bankruptcy during the Great Recession. They already owned Pahrump Nugget. What's interesting is that both Lakeside and Gold Town still have gas stations attached which used to be Terrible's as well.
I hadn't heard it, but I just did some research and apparently it is true. The owner of the Silverton had announced a development of a Marriott and Silverton casino outside of the race track. I will say that I drove right by there and don't think any construction has begun on it. With the current situation I think any new projects are probably on hold for awhile. Here is the latest info I could find. pvtimes.com/news/pahrump-expansion-to-feature-marriott-retail-near-racetrack-73874/
Bob’s not gonna be too happy when he sees this
Mean Bob will be mad lol
F Bob lol although he’s probably pissed off about the Convid19 shutdown hoax.. going on a YEAR!! Outrageous!
@@jerrysanders9101 hoax? Really? Wow. Denial is a strong emotion. Like fear.
My life in Pahrump is awful, thanks to my mom and dad. I wanted to move out of their house to live in Las Vegas.
Yep. It was a hoax
I'm just here for the bob comments 🤣

If anything it is growing really fast and has gotten nicer. We have three wineries now.
Thank you. I love those little picturesque towns. Beautiful
There is nothing picturesque about Pahrump. It's an eye sore. If you want picturesque, try Elko or Tonopah, maybe Boulder City.

Exactly. Good exposure especially for a casino in a secondary market.

Not much to remember. Especially back then! 😂
Nice! Always wanted to buy some fireworks out there. Interesting place.
Thanks for watching!
Almost 50,000 people in Pahrump now.
Crazy how much it has grown.
Thank you for the information.
Perhaps you can do a film on Death Valley.
I’ll definitely consider it. Maybe a Pahrump follow up with Death Valley too.

LOL sorry about the long message just wanted to add a few things there about our seedy little town and little secrets and big secrets and a lot of other things that there are to do here that don't cost any money or a little bit of money and just to enjoy the beautiful mountains and outside areas around Pahrump hiking mines the China day ranch is not far from here cathedral canyon which has been torn up bad but is still beautiful place and remarkable place that that man one man built that and just so places like that things in the mountains that you'll see cave systems and different things like that so lot of older history and the sand here is not actually sand but crushed crushed shells from all of the water that used to be above land here it was one of the biggest aqueducts in the United States and now I believe it still is an aqueduct for most of the United States but it's all underground now but that's why the sand is so just different here because it's crushed shells and that's why it acts differently than sand or mud or or a different kinds of things like that just a little interesting facts
Hey Harper. I'm sorry in saying that was a private home I meant a private place people could rent and realize how my words could have been confusing. What I was saying is it was a private home for rent in Lakeside. It is owned by Lakeside and part of the complex. As for Golden Entertainment they own Lakeside, Gold Town and Pahrump Nugget. I was correct with that info. Thanks for the rest of the info on Pahrump. Maybe I'll do another video down the line showing more of Pahrump outside of the casinos!
@@Milestomemories yes golden entertainment is right my bad it's been owned by 3 different places since we have been here or changed names..
@@Milestomemories There is another small casino here in Pahrump called Irene's with some really good food, a nice bar, and small gaming area. My favorite place to dine.
I worked for quite a while at the three golden properties. I worked there both before and after golden entertainment purchased the Terrible properties. That large house at Lakeside is known as The Boathouse. It was originally built by the Herbst family for them to use when they came out to Pahrump . If you look you'll notice the roof is actually the awning that goes over gasoline pumps (the Herbst family made their money from the Terrible Herbst gas stations) that's just been extended higher to make a 3 story building.
Really like this video - would be interested in Mesquite next just saying 😇
A visit to Pah-Rump and not one view of any of the brothels......unbelievable.
The brothels did get a big covid-19 check from the government due to their forced shutdown.
It does say casino tour in the title. 😁 Maybe I'll do another video showing the "dark side" of Pahrump?
Lol! Got drunk in Sherri spa n resort ! Didn't do anything else !
I fly into LV on my annual 2019 vacation, rented a car & drove out to Pahrump for a night. I did so because I used to listen to Coast to Coast radio show when it was hosted by Art Bell, who lived in Pahrump. I heard about it enough times I decided to go see it. I stayed at the Nugget & played there; I describe it as ok. Ok rooms, low key casino w better odds than LV & friendly people. Everything was open in August 2019, but it still wasn't very busy. Not at all what you would call "real exciting." But the steakhouse in the Nugget was good, and I found a little country breakfast place in town that was good. I like wines, so on my way back to LV I stopped at 2 in the area. To my surprise, the wines were really good! The people at both wineries were friendly & helpful. They helped me put together a mail order box of wines, so they were waiting for me when I got home! My Pahrump Valley Winery self tour ended up being the best part of that trip. If you like wine, I encourage you to leave LV, take the 40 minute drive out there & give the Pahrump Valley Wineries a try!
I’ve never been but I have heard great things about the wineries. Maybe I’ll feature them in a future video. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@Milestomemories The Pahrump Valley Winery new owners lost their liquor license, so no booze served there now.
1st person I thought of when I read Pahrump Valley. RIP Art Bell
My wife and I live in Wisconsin and go to Vegas 2 to 3 times a year and we always rent a car and have been in Pahrump many times as well as Death Valley.
Although it is legal to purchase fireworks in Pahrump/Nye County, it isn’t legal to use them here... yup, strange.
That I didn't know! Thanks for that tidbit of info. Strange.
You can definitely legally fire them off in Nye County at the fare grounds . You can’t bring them to Clark County though.
I miss the Coast to Coast radio show by Art Bell he did out of his house in Pahrump years ago when the town was a fraction what it is now
Yes I remember hearing him on AM radio occasionally. I know someone else replaced him a long time ago, but is the show still on?
@@Milestomemories I listened to him since 80s I drove truck and ran nights George Norey replaced him when he retired and moved to the Philippines after his wife died I think the show is still on but I retired 2018 and dont listen anymore, I drove for walmart and delivered to the Walmart they built in Pahrump sometimes.man pahrump has realy grown since the 90s
Bob doesn't want his soul captured by a camera
Haha I think Bob probably has lookouts after all of the attention this got.
There is more to the story about the dollar bills at Mountain Springs pub.
You should have filmed Bob having his temper tantrum. That shit is TH-cam gold.
I hate Pahrump. Nothing appealing about it whatsoever. Just a wasteland of old buildings, hard desert dirt, cactus and dry sagebrush. The only reason to visit are the winery and the houses of ill repute.
I SEE FIREWORKS.... I'll just hit the like button... But red apple has the best deals... And the people inside or west hotel casino are nice ☺️
I've been to Pahrump so many times and didn't know about lake side will definitely check out next time!!
It’s kind of hidden down on Homestead but definitely worth the look if you’re passing by! I’m glad you learned something new!
I spent a lot of time driving around Pahrump -- you're right, it is a huge area for the population -- looking to find Art Bell (the LATE Art Bell) 's compound. No joy. I miss Art in his prime. I loved how, when he gave the address for mail, he'd say "Pahrump -- DON'T LAUGH -- Nevada, .. .." Nevada is in my top 5 favorite states, precisely FOR places like Pahrump, Elko, Winnemucca, Austin, Tonopah, Ely . . .etc. I LOVE small-town Nevada and the state in general. Basque food (in the N ) in particular.
Small town Nevada definitely has charm! I hope to film some of those small towns at some point soon!
@@Milestomemories Look forward to it! I'll never forget once driving through Goldfield (another one!) on US95 and there was a dog asleep ON US95. As i approached him he sort of lazily got up and moved to the side to let me pass. There are not many places with so little traffic on major highways where dogs can safely snooze in the roadway :-)
25,000 residents plus Art Bell.
Yes! There are definitely some other interesting parts of Pahrump that maybe I’ll cover in another video. The raceway, brothels, Art Bell’s history, the Binion stuff and I guess maybe even Death Valley.
I hope that the Nugget owners hear what your saying...There’s no need to be rude ever....especially in the public sector.
Wow that firework shop looked fabulous...
It’s nearly our firework time....Bonfire Night the 5 th of November....celebrating Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament our equivalent of the White House in the UK here....
Looks so interesting out there.....
Do they have resort fee’s in the Pahrump casinos?
Great video.....👍👍
Ps love the name Pahrump!!
Thanks! Pahrump Nugget has a $10ish resort fee, but it doesn't look like Saddle West has a resort fee. The other two don't have hotel rooms!
P
My dad is a painter in pahrump and he was actually the one painted Blackjack Fireworks ( I’m not trying to brag if anybody thought that way, just saying )
I enjoy watching your videos! You've got a new subscriber here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m so glad your are enjoying them! Thanks for the sub.
I moved to Pahrump in 1988. Only 8,000 people then. Saddle West is the oldest casino/hotel there. I watched it, along with Las Vegas grow. I left in 2012 for Phoenix. Lakeside Casino has always been my favorite place to go visit
I love Lakeside. A little blue and green out in the middle of the desert.
we all run into a jackass BOB!! nice video!!!
Thanks John!
That damn taco bell gave me the runs did an180 on the main drag just made it to the pot with min to go lol!
To be fair Taco Bell probably does that no matter what town you eat it in. 😂
I worked at that taco bell in 1998-99
It gave me the runs then as well lol
Home to the kingdom of nye.
Which casinos are known for good video poker?
Any retirees in Dessert Greens? Can anyone tell me how they like it? Thanks much. Cool Vid. Everytime I turn on Live PD there's a tweaker goin down the road on a quad in the dark or being caught for theft or altercation. Those tweaker women tho... Dammit. Harsh lookin. What a job. Sherrif's deputy chasin tweakers in the dessert smh.
You guys can also check out Tecopa Hot springs located outside of Parhump on the California side. Nice place to go hiking, get some raw honey and dates, and enjoy a nice soak in the hot springs totally naked.
I have heard about it, but have never been. Will add it to my list of places to possibly film!
FYI most of the Homes are on one acre lots.
Thanks for that correction! I have a 1/4 acre in Vegas and that's giant! I always forget how big the lots are out there. Most seem to be undeveloped though. Minor landscaping in the front and no backyards.
You should have filmed Bob so we know what he looks like! Why not also report him to his boss? I will.
I called him out and that’s enough. I don’t want anyone to bother him.
Be to all of the Terrible s casinos in Purump Years ago .interesting they got bought up
Yeah same owner now as Pahrump Nugget!
Nice video. A friend lives there temporarily with his mom who owns a donut shop there
The Nugget is the best Casino in my opinion in Pahrump!!! I ❤️ Pahrump that I bought land there... I can’t wait to live there!! 😀
It is pretty nice other than a certain manager. 😂
Why filming is not allowed in casinos? Not getting that.
It's a major security risk.
Just found your channel, great job!! Saddle West has jacuzzi suites that are pretty nice!!!
Thanks! I actually stayed in one of those jacuzzi suites about a decade ago!
You didn’t mention the corvette testing track. GM sales people are flown out there to study and test the track
That track is cool. I have it on my list if I do a follow up video. I think there might be enough outside the casinos out there to do another video down the line!
Pahrump is alright. Stay away from the Horizon Market Gas Station though.
Private Citizen Guy ? Tweakers ?
I was asked to stop filming at Eataly, but the Security Guard was very friendly
People are generally nice.
Always heard TV meteorologists say "over the hump in Pahrump" and wondered about it. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
bob story was painful
Douchebag Bob has 32 friends...great vid....driving through in October....thank you
Another interesting video. Great job
Come on Bob!!
my son lives in Pahrump , I was wondering what it looked like out there, I will be going out for a visit soon do you have any suggest on any other videos on Pahrump I can watch? ty
If you knew Bob's kids you'd be that mean too.
No excuse, leave private life at home.
@@MGreen-vz6yb Filming in a casino is against the law. The content creator had been asked by security staff at two other properties to cease recording. A flagrant disregard for both law and policy should have gotten him booked, an ass chewing was his best case scenario.
I wanted to see where Art Bell lives; that's how I got here. Looks like an interesting locale.
It's definitely a quirky little town.
8:11...ummm, sorry...describing this place as “not terrible”? You are Very kind, since, Yeah, it kinda is Terrible....it reminds me of low-income housing a few miles south of where I live in central San Diego...
I remember my stay there as being fine back in 2004 but it is basically a motel. The casino actually is pretty decent.
The younger guy is a bit on the cocky side, I could never deal with someone like him, glad I watched the show. I was a Big City boy in LA CA and this guy acts like he is from La Jolla CA, Vegas is far from high class , its a shit hole 🕳️ desert.. Pahrump is much more realistic in my opinion, unless you enjoy hearing your neighbors fart..
Just visited the strat, love to visit this small uic puuuuuurumppp and use my epic card comps and do some camping!
I remember in 2021, I was looking for a house too purchase in Las Vegas, I was talking to a friend in the taxi, and the driver mentioned Pahrump that I should move there, that's its really pretty...... glad I didn't
40k** I see 2 of my friends house from the beginning drone shots😂
Just as a reference... the "ducks" are actually Canada Geese.
You are correct! There were also ducks there in the lake and when doing the narration that stuck in my head. I apologize.
No Problem
We also have these same Geese in parks around Las Vegas they used to stop by in the winter months then continue their trip north in Spring, but many of these Geese now live in the Desert, I have even seen their baby geese, now I call them Desert Geese because they decided to stay.
Nice Video, too bad that is the town where the Mandalay Bay Las Vegas Shooter lived. I wonder if living in that town drove him crazy? For some reason I thought that town was up in the Mountains, people keep saying it is a lot cooler than Vegas. The Fireworks were a little too expensive to buy ,just to blow them up. Looking forward to your next video they are always interesting. Thanks
Actually he lived in Mesquite which is right on the border of Arizona North of Vegas. I’d say Mesquite is probably a nicer place compared to Pahrump.
I hope your going to visit Irene's Casino. Great place to gamble and eat, and the owners are great people!
FYI...those are geese at Lakeside in vid. not ducks.
Enjoyed this! I will have to check out Pahrump! I subbed!
Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for the video. I've always wondered what Pahrump was like and wanted to drive out there someday. Now I don't have to, go see. Boring
Definitely not the most happening place in the world! 😂
bee ton the casino in las vegas in aquapark park attrakcionai
Home of the late great Art Bell.
Yessir!
@@Milestomemories I checked out your channel. I subscribed.
Thanks!
And Binion, movies were made about him and some footage shot there,also one scene in Rainman was made there, while I lived there. Does Heidi Fleiss live there still?
Forgot to add .50 roulette ! Sams town ish
You did not show the brothels
In my defense they were closed when this was filmed.
"Rude Rude Bob" lol
Population is 40,000 people and ever since covid we've gotten around ten thousand more people. Which makes for a lot of crime
Wow I didn't know it had grown to 40K nor did I know you had an influx since Covid. If I remember correctly the last census had Pahrump at around 20K people meaning it has been a decade of growth!
My Son still goes there to see high school friends. It's been about 20 years since I've lived there. Hot springs, gateway to Death Valley about 20 miles away, Chicken Ranch,
The "ducks" are Canadian geese. I never get why people want to live in small towns, but it's fun to look around and see what it's like. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks re:geese! Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Lol, I picked up on that one immediately, had a good laugh, is that guy really that dumb?
Hey man. Your approach needs improvement. I like your channel. You should not come at these small businesses with your camera out front. Ask permission first.
This was filmed a few years ago but I don't see an issue filming in areas when there aren't any no filming signs. That said, I do things a bit differently now and will be revisiting Pahrump for an updated video soon. I'll look for businesses that actually want to be highlighted. Thanks for the polite reply.
Make t-shirts that say "Pahrump Nugget Bob sucks"
😂
Canada geese are literally everywhere. They seem so out of place there.
Apparently they don't mind the heat?!?
For those things that go Pahrump in the night.
LOL Bob is my boss...he might be an ass, but you had been asked REPEATEDLY to stop filming before he got to you. It is common knowledge that you cannot film in a casino. It is a small courtesy to ask of our patrons. You filmed employees and patrons without their knowledge or consent and then posted it publicly online. Plenty of reasons to have had a negative visit, but being told to follow the rules 30 times before you finally got yelled at was on you. At least shed light on real problems. SMH.
Hey Tweed. I'm not sure who you are or why you are posting this comment, but Bob was the first person I came in contact with and I didn't film after I was told not to. Additionally I didn't film the casino since I went in and filmed the bowling alley and Bob stopped me in the hallway before I ever got to the casino. The only thing I filmed near the casino was that short shot of the exit door. But to say I was told 30X to stop is ridiculous and a lie. I was asked to stop filming once and I did. The fact I called Bob out had nothing to do with that at all. It was how he behaved. But if someone is telling employees that I was asked numerous times to stop maybe I should contact Golden Entertainment corporate and file a complaint so they will pull the tapes to prove this story a lie. Please don't come on my channel and post lies. I complied with Bob and everyone else.
I'll also add that despite Bob's rude behavior I didn't disparage the Nugget and I still showed and complimented the bowling alley, etc. Perhaps as an employee you can appreciate that. I have respect for workers like you and my ultimate goal is to highlight these places which should lead to more exposure and awareness. People like Bob are bad for business though.
@@Milestomemories You absolutely filmed in the casino. The video is right here. As I said there are plenty of issues that could have been mentioned, we're all aware of that, but as someone who was on duty that day I'm also aware there was more to the visit than what you said. That's what's upsetting. At the root of it you did something you weren't supposed to and I don't believe for a second you weren't aware. People do things like this and it encourages others to do the same and then we're faced with the fallout. You filmed patrons and employees without knowledge or consent and posted their faces online. You had no right to do that. This wasn't a public gathering it was private property.
@@lucidreigns3275 I don't believe a word from your lying mouth tweed. The fact you claim he was told 30 times to stop filming just amplifies your dishonesty.
Do they have the stupid mask mandates here too? I ask because in Florida is not everywhere and is actually pretty soft mandate.
How does Laughlin compare with Pahrump in registering a vehicle.
Haha that I don’t know. I think the DMV these days is appointment only so once you get in it generally isn’t too bad.
@@Milestomemories Thank you.🌹💞👍🏼
It sounds like Bob is a total jerk and should be fired immediately for the way he treated you and other customers
Bob took so much heat from this video....
Thank you for letting us know how nice the people were 🤠
Pahrump people are some of the most interesting around!
Freakin' Bob! Nice video. :)
Haha Bob sucks! 😂
Bob was actually having a good day. Haha. Shame on Bob's employer as he is, in a way, an ambassador of the casino. You can deal with a situation in two ways: being polite but firm, or Bob's way.
Thanks for this video. I have heard of Pahrump, but never been there.
Very interesting. Never been to parump. Good video
Thanks Steve!
Love it very nice
Thank you!
Occupancy 623. Lol

What's your favorite part of Pahrump?
The beautiful landscape
This is meant for people who love to gamble or play slot machine it does'nt interest me
You’ll find a whole hell of a lot of methabusers 😳
Very sad.
I remember Terrible Casino out there or am I mistaken.
Used to be.... now it’s gold town and lakeside.
Golden bought the two Terrible's properties around the time of the Terrible's bankruptcy during the Great Recession. They already owned Pahrump Nugget. What's interesting is that both Lakeside and Gold Town still have gas stations attached which used to be Terrible's as well.
I love visiting Parump
What's your favorite thing to do in Pahrump?
@@Milestomemories the parks and the casino s just the laid back outdoors so peaceful
Security will chase you off at Lakeside if you’re not staying there. Horrible food. Terrible’s is the only place we go out here.
Haha they did chase me off but the guard was super friendly.
Thanks another interesting video. Never been thru there.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
36,000 people 👍
Is it true or just a rumor that the Silverton is building a second location in Pahrump?
I hadn't heard it, but I just did some research and apparently it is true. The owner of the Silverton had announced a development of a Marriott and Silverton casino outside of the race track. I will say that I drove right by there and don't think any construction has begun on it. With the current situation I think any new projects are probably on hold for awhile. Here is the latest info I could find. pvtimes.com/news/pahrump-expansion-to-feature-marriott-retail-near-racetrack-73874/
@@Milestomemories Thank you for the response and link to the Silverton Pahrump expansion.
