Someone already mention the gunfight at the OK Corral.  How about the recent (during the nineteen hundreds) Dade County FBI shootout?  This one pretty well proved that the 9mm with subsonic ammo was very inefficient and led to the development of my favorite duty-carry pistol caliber, the .10mm automatic.  (My favorite revolver duty-carry caliber is still the .357 Magnum.)\n\nAnd, of course, there's the Hollywood debacle where the bad guys wore full body armor and robbed a bank.  If some gun shop hadn't loaned rifles to the police the bad guys might have just pulled it off!\n\nH

Not at all, hooliganism has been pretty much stamped out, in the top flight and at international level anyway. There will always be people making trouble but the majority of fans are families and the middle classes so trouble is kept to a minimum (maybe they kick off when they can't find parking??) Millwall fans still fight but now they just attack people outside the grounds and on the other six days of the week.......I have not seen the movie but I used to go to Chelsea as a kid in the 80's and it sometimes got preety crazy! I saw a man in a relly clean and neat suit throw a dustbin through a car windscreen once.........

Are there any women in Vegas who aren't looking for a man to wine and dine them, pamper them, buy them flowers, give them back rubs and spoil them just because they give their man a little piece?\n\nHow about getting off your butt and getting your OWN money and doing stuff for yourself instead of looking for a sugar daddy to pamper you?

I was in a small gang in the Bronx, New York in the early 70's, during the heyday of gangs. It was always about turf and other violations but it was fun and you only got killed if you asked for it. Other than that, you got a chance to test your fighting ability or martial arts skills and you always saw face to face who the hell you wuz fightin'. By the beginning of the 80's most had died out already as we had more important issues to take care of such as becoming useful members of society and getting college degrees. Looks like shortly afterwards California picked up on it, a little too late though (been there, done that) with the exception that these gangs were just a bunch of shoot in the back murderers and drug dealers that deserved to ripped from limb to limb and wouldn't have been able to stand a chance against  us in the old days and would have been exterminated. You've got some active gangs across the states nowadays that ain't about nuthin' except killing their own brothers and bullcrap. If there were more propagation of the arts, and if the government would stop cutting funds for the advancement of such endeavors, there would probably be less gangs roaming around.

Well, for the most part, it's set in Las Vegas, but sometimes the agents are on a location outside of the city, in other parts of Nevada (you learn about a lot of cool little towns that way, if you pay attention!)

No, Criss started in Vegas with live shows there. If you watch early videos of him, you will see them. So just accept it he can mindfreak anyone!

Vegas is popular because the license office is open until midnight 7 days a week and 24 hours on holidays. There are some beautiful places to get married there, that aren't in a casino. You can get married in the Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, there are a bunch of places that aren't tacky.  Of course there are also some really tacky places to get married and that could be fun too.  Also, most of the casino's have beautiful wedding chapels and their wedding ocordinator can help you.  You can have almost any wedding you want in Las Vegas, it's kind of cool.  I would definitely hire someone to help you with the planning since you are so far away.  You might also want to consider something closer to home, like Gretna Green or a castle wedding.  Although, friends of ours got married in Red Rock Canyon a few years ago; it's still one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to. There were 8 of us in this awesome canyon and it was so beautiful.  Good Luck and have fun.

Ever heard of the TV show 'Emergency' from the 70's? Have her find the Rampart division.\nTommy Bugers after a night of drinking.\nIn-n-Out Bugers are a SoCal classic! The Burger school is in Baldwin park.\nQueen of the Valley or County Hospital are both strange adventures on their own.\nUnion Station- close by is Al's Bar. Scary but fun place to find that has no signs. \nFilippi's Deli- used to have really good french dips and is one of the oldest deli's in LA.\nThe original City Hall.\nHave her her find specific items in the jewelry, clothing/ fabric or flower districts.\nThe Roosevelt Hotel to count how many supposed hauntings they have in residence.\nForest Lawn to appreciate Hollywood past.\nHow to get to the beach without using the freeways. (Using old highway markers ie- Hwy 39.)\nWhere is Rancho Cucamonga? And how did I end up in Carson city? \nFastest route to Las Vegas by car.\n  Not sure why your friend is going to LA, but that should start you off with a few ideas.  Good luck!

there are 3 sub-bands that make up the tribe in your question: mescalero, chiricahua, and lipan. they don't soley rely on the casino for income...there is a resort on the rez, big game hunting, mining, timber, ski-resort, etc. many tribes are getting into gaming so they can become sovereign nations. ie; self-sufficient, and not relying on funds from the gov't any longer, and as a way to keep the u.s. gov't out of our business.\nthere are many, many tribes in the u.s, however, that are so isolated and poor that they can't get into gaming because they are too far off the highways to get any business, and they have so few natural resources, that they have to rely on gov't funding.\nthe land we native ppl live on, was not "given" to us...we were placed on reservations against our will...land that the gov't thought was useless...as it turns out, some of our land is extremely rich in minerals, gold, uranium, oil, etc. and the gov't wants to relocate some tribes in order to "harvest" the resources for their own use...it just never ends.\nfor more detailed info on the mescalero rez go to this website:\nhttp://www.innofthemountaingods.com/about.asp

It's north of Las Vegas a 150 miles or so.  The proper area name is Groom Dry Lake and you can see it on Google earth, I'm pretty sure.  The government tests new planes there and god-only-knows what else, but more power to them.  They have to do it somewhere and Groom Lake is why we have planes like the (retired) SR-71 that got us thought the cold war and the current B2 Stealth bomber and F117 stealth fighter.  You don't have to work there for 120 days straight.  Unmarked 737's commute up there every day from the Las Vegas airport.  The planes sit in, well, plain sight (pardon the pun), right across the strip from the Mandalay Bay hotel.  They are plain white with a red stripe on the side.  I saw an interview show where a reporter followed someone home that had come from the off-limits terminal and tried to ask them about theirjob.  There person just slammed the door in the guy's face.  So, the feds must pay them really well to keep quite or threaten them with something worse than death, but in any case, normal people go work there every day.\n\nAlso, I don't think the signs say "You will be shot."   I think they say "Use of deadly force authorized" or something slightly more tactful.\n\nSo, now you know what I know.  If I disappear in the next few days, you'll know why.  lol

A Super Casino could be a good thing to bring money into the city-so from that angle it would create jobs etc...but you also must take the good with the bad as gambling can be a disease.  Who would profit the most from it?\nIt would bring a lot of traffic into the town and with that comes the element of crime etc...desperation of the vulnerable as well.

First you need to purchase a boat. Then you can do whatever you want with it, including take it far enough offshore to make it a gambling vessel.\n\nHowever, you'll be in odd territory - the mafia has a strong hand in the casino gambling business. You'll have to deal with a lot of cash, which means a lot of security. You'll have employment headaches. You'll be a tempting target for pirates (yes, they still exist). You'll have to provide food to your guests. You'll have to advertise. You'll probably need to provide busses to move people from wherever they live to the harbor. You'll need something for the people on the boat to do until they get to international waters. And you'll need a lot of money to start off.
