They still hate Reid with a passion. There is still a sign in Tonopah that says, "Will Rogers never met Harry Reid." They never took it down and never will.

I've been through there several times, staying once at the Mizpah and gambling late into the
night. It was said that Jack Dempsey was a bouncer there after he quit boxing.

"Jack Dempsey Room" for private banquets or parties. If you are there again look along the walls in that area for framed checks signed by the stars.

If rethugs don't like it, they can do like I did when Washington National Airport was named for their dementia god - use the old name or call it Las Vegas International Airport.
