I have a story about this place from many years ago (won't say how many... but a good number). It includes 4 college students and a 4 hour drive to downtown Las Vegas for flavored, hard pieces of meat. This store had so many kinds too! I didn't even know they made snake, elk, buffalo, alligator, etc. jerky... Spicy, sweet, regular, mixed with crack?! LOL.
Yes, my friends... we drove all the way to Las Vegas, NV from Orange County, CA for jerky. We also went to binge at the RIO Seafood Buffet though, but I digress... This was all very spontaneous too. Sort of went like this. Not the exact owrds but you get the gist of it...
Friend #1: This slim jim is good.
Friend #2: I've had some pretty good beef jerky from this one place in Vegas
Friend #1: Where in Vegas?
Friend #2: Downtown.
Friend #1: Let's go (asks friend #3 (roommmate with car) if he wants to go to Vegas
Friend #3: Pay for gas and my food and I'll drive us
Me: OOOO let's go to the Rio buffet too. I want crab legs
Everyone: OOOOO yeah!
Long story short and about 6 hours later, 4 college students were stuffed and had to be rolled out of Rio. Mind you we were bored out of our minds at UCI and had nothing else to do. We walked around the strip (none of us were 21 yet) to walk off the fullness a little bit and drove back home. We were too cheap to pay for a hotel room and we couldn't do anything there either since we were too young.
Yeah so that's my story. True life kids.
