Pahrump is about an hour drive from the far south end of Vegas. To get to Pahrump you go south on Las Vegas Blvd to Blue Diamond Rd. On Blue Diamond Rd you go west about 60 miles. It is up over a pretty good hill, what is called the "hump to Pahrump".
The town of Pahrump is not much to look at, just a desert town, but Terrible's Lakeside RV Park is one of the best in the nation. We spent a week there a few years ago and definitely will go back. The on-site casino is small, compared to Vegas casino's, but is okay. Downtown there are some larger ones, including another Terrible's called Terrible's Town Casino. The Terrible in this case is Terrible Herbst, the race car guy. They also have a large casino and hotel in Vegas, about a mile east of the Strip on Flamingo and Paradise Rd. I don't have the current rates since my copy of Trailer Life is in the coach and it is at the dealer's getting some last minute work done before my warranty runs out this week.
Another feature in Pahrump, if anyone is up to it, are the legal brothel's. Just down the road from Terrible's Lakeside are the famous Chicken Ranch and another one. Better for my taste are the golf courses in town. We played on one of the most beautiful courses I've ever been on.
