>>>STILL AHEAD... GEORGE KNAPP WILL TELL YOU HOW TO SEE INSIDE OF

AREA FIFTY-ONE...
VO=:40
(***VO***)


STREET TALK HAS LONG FANATSIZED ABOUT WHAT THE INSIDE OF AREA 51

LOOKS LIKE. AND NOW WE KNOW, SORT OF. JUST AS WE SUSPECTED, THE 
PLACE

HAS ALL SORTS OF SPACEY STUFF HANGING AROUND, INCLUDING WEIRD 
LIGHTS,

SOME OF WHICH ALMOST LOOK LIKE THEYRE ALIEN SHIPS SHOOTING THEIR

PHASER BEAMS....UNLIKE ITS UNNAMED NAMESAKE, THIS AREA 51 IS

COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE. IT'S A NEW, ALIEN THEMED BAR INSIDE THE

PALLADIUM NIGHTCLUB, ON INDUSTRIAL ROAD BEHIND THE MIRAGE. OWNER 
SAME

SALDE DECIDED TO SWITCH THEMES, FROM COWBOYS TO SPACEMEN, BECAUSE 
THE

REAL BASE ALREADY HAS A REPUTATION....


((Sam Salde, Area 51 Owner: tried to pick a theme thats 
real
interesting. area 51 is mysterious, nationally known, that 
builds
interest.))


SALDE BOUGHT UP MUCH OF HIS SPACE STUFF FROM BOB STUPAK'S 
VEGAS
WORLD..... AS OF WEDNESDAY, WORK CREWS WERE STILL TRYING TO 
GET THE
PLACE READY FOR ITS THURSDAY NIGHT GRAND OPENING. OUTSIDE, 
THEYVE
ERECTED A MOCK ELECTRIFIED FENCE AND WILL PLACE A FRIED 
PUNK ROCKER
DUMMY ON TOP. INSIDE THE FENCE IS A MILITARY JEEP WITH 
A FETCHING
ALIEN PASSENGER, NOT UNLIKE WHAT SOME PEOPLE SAY THEYVE 
SEEN UP IN THE
GROOM MOUNTAINS. SELDE DELIGHTS IN TEASING PEOPLE 
ABOUT THE NAME.
(("She says YOU CANT GET INTO AREA 51. I SAY, I 
GET INTO AREA 51 ALL
THE TIME.))
SALDE ADDS THE CLUB IS A WORK IN 
PROGRESS AND WILL CHANGE THE MORE HE
LEARNS ABOUT ET'S.


ON A SIMILAR NOTE, STREET TALK IS LOOKING FOR YOUR HELP. IF YOU 
LIVED

IN LAS VEGAS IN 1962 AND REMEMBER SEEING OR READING ABOUT A GIANT

FIREBALL WHICH EXPLODED NEAR HERE, PLEASE GIVE US A CALL OR DROP 
US A

LINE. GIANT FIREBALL. APRIL '62...THAT WILL BE A FUTURE WORD ON 
THE

STREET, I'M GK.))
