About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular was walking his dog near the Old Las Vegas Post Office when he noticed something odd. His usually sleepy pooch suddenly perked up and started barking excitedly at nothing in particular. The man looked around but saw only an empty street. Was it the wind or something more peculiar? Just then, a delivery driver walked by, scratching his head. ‘Did you see that?’ asked the man. The driver shrugged, muttering under his breath, ‘Probably just another ghost sightin’.’ The two exchanged knowing smiles as their dogs continued to bark at thin air, convinced they were onto some secret nobody else could see.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the old post office one afternoon and noticed something unusual in the mail sorting area—a package addressed simply to ‘Lucky Mailman,’ with no return address or sender’s name. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe it was a prank from a fellow worker. As he opened it, out popped a note saying, 'For the luckiest mailman ever!' Inside were some snacks, a bottle of water, and a handwritten card signed simply, 'To our favorite mailman.' Turned out, it was just a friendly gesture from a neighbor who wanted to make his day brighter.

3. One foggy morning, a postal worker heard an eerie humming coming from inside the Old Las Vegas Post Office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a line of mailboxes slowly swaying in unison. Suddenly, one mailbox tipped over, revealing a small sign that read ‘Free Coffee Today.’ A delivery driver passing by stopped, smelled something delicious, and declared, ‘Finally, someone knows how to get us workers to come here!’

4. One day, after closing hours, a janitor locked himself out of the Old Las Vegas Post Office. As he frantically tried to get back in, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Dear Sir, please do not panic. The key is hidden under the welcome mat.’ The janitor cautiously approached the mat and indeed found a rusty old key. He unlocked the door, entered, and switched on the lights—only to discover that the mysterious voice belonged to nobody but himself, repeating an old practical joke he'd played on a regular delivery driver years ago. Everyone had a good laugh, including the now-grinning janitor who thought, 'Maybe I should retire here for a while.'
