I have no idea how they make money.
The Badlands Saloon is somewhat of a dive, but manages to avoid being grungy. This gay bar sports pool, a jukebox, and low, low prices. Their strip mall location means easy parking.
If I recall correctly, the bartender informed us that there were no specials, but when quoting prices, our jaws dropped - and our livers quivered. Our bartender was a hoot, and somehow I ended up donning a wig while there, while tossing back vodka.
If it wasn't for Lotus of Siam (our intended target) being closed, we'd never have ended up here. Sure, the Saloon was empty - it WAS late afternoon - but my crew and I enjoyed each others's company and might've left more than a little merry. What happens in Vegas... you know.
