Pahrump In Nevada

Pahrump Nevada is located exactly 60 miles west of Las Vegas Nevada on State Route 160. Although a relatively small town, Pahrump Nevada is known by people around the world because of a famous radio personality. Art Bell transmitted from Pahrump Nevada for many years and people all over would listen to him and his odd radio show.

Pahrump NV

Pahrump NV reminds people of what Las Vegas was like 30 years ago. It is a samll town with all sorts of hotels, casinos, whore houses, and real estate speculation that would make Donald Trump blush.

Pahrump NV is out in the middle of the dessert. But that doesn't stop the "dreamers" from opening up a winery. Yep, they grow grapes and produce wine out there.

Legal Prostitution--Real UFO Sightings--Atomic Bombs. Guess Where?

The other day I decided to take a drive outside of Las Vegas. I headed down I-15 and took exit 33, which is locally known as State Highway 160/Blue Diamond Road. I drove West on Hwy 160 for exactly 60 miles and found myself in the town of Pahrump, Nevada.

You might be surprised to find out how many people from around the world actually know about the existence of Pahrump. Art Bell made the small town of Pahrump famous through his radio show.

According to Pahrump.org, "The Pahrump Valley offers a country-like atmosphere with clean fresh air, plenty of good water and friendly people who are glad to call you neighbor. We have low taxes, NO personal or corporate taxes, quite affordable housing and an easy-flowing lifestyle."

Well that all may be true, but they left out a few very special Pahrumpian characteristics from their description of this one of a kind small town.

Such As:
There are two world famous legal brothels in Pahrump. One is called Sheri's Ranch and the other is called The Chicken Ranch. There are many people in and around Pahrump that believe (probably because of its proximity to Area 51) that UFO activity is out of control in the skies overhead.

The Nevada Test Site is a short ride down the road from the local Wal-Mart. Of course the test site offered up above ground and now underground nuclear bomb explosions while the Wal-Mart has only offered falling prices.What an interesting town!

Perhaps on your next vacation to Las Vegas you can set aside a day to take a side trip to Pahrump Nevada.

Remember to bring your camera. Those aliens love posing for pictures against the backdrop of a nuclear bomb going off with a hooker on either side of their space ship.

Pahrump Nevada...gotta love it!!
