Paradise Palms Social Club.

Paradise Palms Social Club hosts a “get to know your neighbors” cocktail party on the first Saturday of the month. Each month the party is at a different home.  
We will send out an e-mail soon with the address. If we don't have your e-mail address yet, make sure to send it to us. 
Neil is hosting April. Teri and Chad will host June. Aja and Joel will host in August. Becky, as well as Danny & Kevin will host in October. Two homes, one big party. Steve and Tami are hosting in December.
If you would like to host let us know what month you'd like to do it. May is coming up pretty quick and no one has claimed it yet.

Code enforcement.

It's up to us to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. As we continue improving our community, we need to remember that it takes all of us to make Paradise Palms a beautiful, clean, and safe neighborhood. This means keeping our private property and our community’s public property clean. Criminals look for neighborhoods that look neglected. It's a sign that the residents don't care. If you see issues that require code enforcement, submit a request here.

40 Years of Booze: 3 Classic Bars in Paradise Palms

Feb 22nd 2011 4:00PM / by Michael T. Toole

For several decades, the well-preserved, Eastside neighborhood of Paradise Palms has hugged Desert Inn Road with some stunning architecture. Clay Heximer, a leading proponent for the neighborhood's preservation artfully sums up its appeal: "Residents here know they are a part of a historic neighborhood, and they do their shopping within a mile or two of their homes. It's their duty to preserve not just the neighborhood, but the surrounding commerce." And that, of course, includes the local bars and according to Clay, these classic taverns have kept its residents in proper spirits for more than 40 years.

Champagne's Cafe: You cannot go wrong with this place. Flocked red velvet wallpaper? Garish lightbulbs? Thick cigarette smoke that's more dense than a dry ice machine? Discover $2 drafts, sultry leather couches, a crankin' jukebox that plays your favorite stuff from the past 50 years, plus holiday lights spotting the interior 365 days a year.

Davey's Locker: The bartenders here were not trained by Dale DeGroff, but any bar that has a giant blue neon fish in the parking lot to welcome you was never striving for pretension in the first place. In addition to cheap beer and shot specials for under $3, Davey's boasts the most colorful set of barflies this side of a Steinbeck novel.

Coachman's Inn: Another fine late-'60s leftover. A reputed favorite of the late mobster Tony Spilatro, Coachman's Inn's staying power lies in its quiet, cozy confines that will cater to a late-night nightcap very well. Chatty servers, a menu of enticing appetizers (who's not down for oysters or lobster bisque?), casual lighting and ample seafaring decor offer a swell retro feel for all.

Neighborhood Pride Zone.

An application is being filled out for a neighborhood pride zone. Once established, we will be able to take care of the graffiti in the neighborhood ourselves as well as do some additional maintenance. It will also enable us to get grants from the county to have block parties and other community building activities.

The best way to take care of our neighborhood is doing the job ourselves. If we are able to establish a neighborhood pride zone the county will give us grants for taking care of the graffiti. In other words, we'll basically be getting paid for what we already do for free. The money wont go directly to an individual, but rather go back into the neighborhood. It can be used for beautification projects, a block party, neighborhood watch signs(which are $25 a piece) and so on.If you'd like to be involved we need your name, address, phone number, and e-mail. The county requires this information. Please e-mail it to: paradisepalmslasvegas@gmail.com

 

Paradise Town Board Agenda.

 The following was sent to me by a fellow Paradise Palmer. 
________________________________________________

On February 8th, one of our neighbors, St Viator on Eastern and Flamingo, will go before the Paradise Town Board to obtain Waivers to permit the property to remain unlandscaped along Flamingo Road, Eastern Avenue, within the parking lot, and around the rear property lines and adjacent to the Flamingo Crest townhomes. For those of you who have been here a while, St. Viator at one time had trees and shrubs along these frontages, but elected to remove all living vegetation and leave only bare gravel for our community to view. This action was against Clark County code, and after facing a violation issued from Code Enforcement, St. Viator is now asking for permission to allow the current unlanscaped appearance to remain. St. Viator is claiming in their justification letter submitted to Clark County Planning that if they install the bare minimum landscape required by code, it will be vandalized and destroyed by the community.

The removal of all living vegetation from the roadway frontages from this property negatively affects our community. Eastern and Flamingo are major thoroughfares, and thousands of vehicles pass by every day. This current appearance of the site sets a negative precedent for the neighborhood and for the Las Vegas Valley. The removal of landscape affects property values, exacerbates the urban heat island effect and contributes to community blight. I strongly encourage our community to voice opposition to St. Viator’s request and send an e-mail to Clark County Comprehensive Planning at alr@clarkcountynv.gov, or show up to the February 8th Town Advisory Board Meeting and ask that the bare minimum amounts of landscape required by Code be installed by the property owner.

For more information, call Clark County Comprehensive Planning at 455-4314 or review the Paradise Town Board Agenda at: http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/Depts/admin....811.updated.pdf
