Little Church vs. Crazy Horse Too

October 4, 2006 | 12:43 pm

Crazyhorsetoo_j5777hnc_2 The Little Church of Las Vegas had its first service last night. According to the Review-Journal, a mostly Spanish speaking congregation was bused in from a faraway community center to this new church located within 1,500 feet of Crazy Horse Too, "lured by the promise of Bible study and refreshments."

Either coincidentally or not, depending who you speak to, today is the day that Crazy Horse Too goes before the City Council in hopes of getting a liquor license approved under the name of the owner of the nearby Golden Steer Steakhouse who claims he is trying to reopen Crazy Horse Too and ultimately purchase it from Rick Rizzolo.

On yesterday's Buffet, prominent local attorney and Palomino Club landlord Dominic Gentile predicted that this new church would not prevent the city from approving the new license for Crazy Horse Too. And, according to the Review-Journal, City Attorney Brad Jerbic also thinks the Little Church of Las Vegas will have no impact on today's hearing. Jerbic believes that there is a six-month grace period for someone to acquire the Crazy Horse Too license. However, the deacon of the new church thinks otherwise, citing city code forbidding an establishment with a liquor license to be within 1,500 feet of a church.

It's a great idea to have a church in Vegas. I thought there were several churches along with a drive by for couples to get hitch. Correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't god says, come to me all who are weak and lowly. I couldn't think of a better location for that church. The deacon must have forgotten his mission, "To turn sinners into Saints". This is truly a test for the Deacon unless he has no Faith in his ministry?
