5. Red Mile (Porrima III, Porrima System)

The Red Mile is like Old Vegas, the line of seedy, rundown casinos in Downtown Las Vegas that went by the wayside after the infamous strip opened in the ‘40s. There are mostly empty slot machines, some questionable patrons, and a general air of dinginess. It’s incredible, the kind of place that would serve as the perfect backdrop for a Scorsese mob flick. I want to go there and blow thousands of credits and chainsmoke Marlboro Reds and pretend to be the estranged wife of Dino “The Mook” DeGregorio. I want to have my bachelorette party here.

The Red Mile is both the only proper building on Porrima III, serving as both casino and mercenary outpost, and the name of the dangerous death run that begins at that very same building and makes its way through creature-infested terrain. Do you know any other bars that have an elevator inside that leads straight to a death run that people bet on? No, I didn’t think so. — AM
