How did I come across like a simp? I never kissed her ass or begged to meet her. This was a chick who talked to me, lived in Vegas like I did, but was flaky regarding meeting. Eventually I gave up, only to hear from her close friend that it was due to a health condition she was ashamed of. So I told her not to worry about it, and that I wouldn't judge her or hold it against her. That made her feel better, but then she vanished -- because she died very shortly after our conversation.
Where did simping come in?
The McDonald's thing was a public-facing joke which she revealed during our first real conversation.
You didn't run enough coin then.
Just the second-tier card players card there (silver) avoids the resort fee, a-la Caesars Diamond.
It's cheap to do. I'm sure you found the NSUD at the river bar.
If you don't mind the extra variance there's even better 25/12 DBDW (99.96%) at dollars at the upstairs bar by the sports book/bowling alley.
Some notes on Goldfield-
- I have driven through Goldfield, Nevada (Esmeralda County) atleast once a year from probably the last 15 years.
- Around 2016, I drove through town and saw the live radio station there and an actual real DJ/radio host there on the mic. Since then, they have removed the live person and put an actual dummy in the DJ/host chair. KGFN (K Gold Field Nevada). More explained here- https://nvtami.com/2023/02/15/radio-goldfield/
- There is alteast one big junk yard in GF, lots of old and classic cars. I can only assume the owner spends his days parting them out and selling the parts online.
- There are a few old ambulances, police cars and fire trucks scattered around GF. I guess some people there like to collect them. If you need help and call 911 in GF, I assume the best youll get is an Esmeralda Sheriff car.
-I have never seen an actual fire department in GF or the county. Its always looked like the residents have to supply their own fire protection and thats why some of them own their own (old) fire trucks. There is one lime yellow truck for sale there I would like to buy, its a former Truckee Meadows (Washoe County) engine. Its for sale right now.
Pic of it I took earlier this year-
- There are no gas stations in Goldfield, but were/are two dead pumps on the main road that I did get pics of years ago, they now say partycat.com or something like that. For a few years, talk of truck stop gas station was coming and NOW it is under construction. on the south side of town. After all of these years, they really needed some sort of retail and gas service.

Goldfield is nice to drive through, but it really is an old dead ghost town. The new truck stop will bring in tax dollars and some life to the county. No gambling there that I have seen. The newest structure in GF is the state built Visitor Center that has an EV charging station. So far, looks like GF is coming back to life and growing up now.
Side note- Like Druff, I love driving the whole Mojave Desert and exploring the Nevada and Arizona vast areas. I love "desert running", survival stuff, camping there and staying in the hotels. Las Vegas is pretty much the central hub for me. I also love California, but its now a waste to stay and live there with the increased taxes and Gavin Newsom running the state into the ground.
When traveling on 95, be sure to fill up at my dad’s Fastrip gas station in the Amargosa Valley. Most of you will be stopping there anyway, since the Alien Cathouse is right behind it.

I've been thru Goldfield a few times. If someone told me they worked at a McDonalds there I would have laughed. It's in the middle of nowhere with a population of maybe 300.
But it was a boomtown over 100 years ago. Jack Dempsey fought there before he was champion. There was the Battling Nelson-Joe Gans fight. Tex Rickard lived there a few years. Wyatt Earp was there to visit brother, Virgil, who ended up dying there.

True story- I have stopped there many times because the gas is cheaper, drinks are cold and I usually grab beef jerky there. A few times I have parked out in the south part of the lot and napped in my vehicle. I have not gone into the brothel yet, but will do it next time just to check it off of my list of things to see.
If your father owns the gas station, was he previous partners with Denis Hoff or bought out his interest in the property after death?
Before entering into the brothel business, Hof owned gas stations, first in Arizona and later in Nevada. ... Amargosa Valley, Nevada, renamed the Alien Cathouse.
He just owns the pumps at this location. At most of his stores, he owns the building as well. So we did do some negotiating with Dennis.
I’ve been in the whore house just to check it out. A Hispanic woman, who was about a 7, gave me the tour. When I asked her what she wanted for an hour, she quoted me $1650! When I told her I could get a quality escort in Vegas for $300 (which I think is the going rate), she said I’d catch VD. I responded that bashing other sex workers was not a good look for her!
I stop here every trip through. They have some cute alien novelties and a vodka in a small alien head that I always pick up for gifts. Long drive into nothingness after this place.
You do go by a few other old closed brothels on the way north including the one with the crashed airplane outside.

i dont know much about this sport but it seems cool. I just learned about the offroad highway system and that seems pretty cool, 100s of miles of "roads" going all sorts of places you could never think about driving too, and also to like cities, city to city lol, seems fun.

Amargosa Valley is the location of the main PFA Radio number, 775-372-8355 (775-FRAUD-55)

Lathrop Wells is the former name of Amargosa Valley.
I’m staying at the Tropicana tonight in Laughlin. The place is nice, your typical Tier 2 level Vegas style room, but would give it a 2+. I do like that the parking garage is close to the room tower. I would stay here again.
Last time I was here was in the 90s, it was the Ramada Express then, no relation to the Ramada corporate.
I still have a Mexican restaurant review to do on the Arizona side, will get to it soon.
Stayed in Ramada Express in early 2000s. Surprisingly decent. They had that stupid train running outside, which went nowhere.
One notable thing that happened there was that I played blackjack alone, and a pretty girl in her mid-20s sat down with me and started talking. She wasn't even playing -- just talking to me, and I wasn't getting the hooker vibe at all.
She talked to me for about 25 minutes and I couldn't figure out what her deal was. She wasn't playing, she wasn't with anyone, and she sat there talking to me for 25 minutes at the table. Was she interested in me? Was I wrong about her not being a hooker? Was she perhaps a gold digger? She seemed very nice and down to earth, but as I said, was very pretty, and not the type you'd expect to approach random dudes playing blackjack.
Finally, I got my answer.
"You remind me so much of my brother," she said. "Before he got addicted to drugs. He's not the same person anymore. Not since years ago. But you remind me so much of what he used to be, it was like I was talking to the old him again. I'm really glad I sat down here and takled to you. I've gotta go meet up with my mom right now for dinner. Good luck!"
