Crack Alley 

A neighborhood in Las Vegas where drug use, prostitution, and criminal activity is extremely common. It used to be one of the most affluent areas in town during the 1970s when it was populated with celebrities but has experienced a steady decline since then. This can be attributed to the abundance of apartment complexes run by slumlords, illegal immigrants, Section 8 housing, and its inner city location.

The boundaries of Crack Alley are Flamingo to the south, Desert Inn to the north, Maryland to the east, and Paradise to the west. However, most of the crime is concentrated along Sierra Vista and Cambridge.

The crime levels of Crack Alley are among the highest in the city and are rivaled only by Naked City, the Alphabet Streets, and the less-touristy parts of Downtown. Las Vegas attempted to lower the crime rate by constructing a police substation adjacent to Sierra Vista which has proven somewhat effective.

Crack Alley is in close proximity to important establishments in Las Vegas. These include UNLV, the Boulevard Mall, the Convention Center, Sunrise Hospital, and the Country Club. Most of these establishments have taken extra security precautions to ensure safety to locals who frequent these high-traffic places.

Although Las Vegas and the police have both taken action to improve this neighborhood (and they have so far seen marginal success), it still remains one of the most dangerous areas in town.

I was driving to the Boulevard Mall once when I accidentally took a wrong turn and drove through Crack Alley where I saw drug deals on the street corners.

The Crack Alley 

A slang term for the back alley, night club in Calgary, Alberta.

The Crack Alley is the self proclaimed "best rock bar in Canada". It is known throughout Calgary for it's "titty shots", rock music, lack of dress code and lack of security pat down to find the knife/bear mace you probably have on you if you frequent the crack alley.

Staff: It is well known by Calgarians that the crack alley has the most fakest, tannest, bleach-blond, silicone breasted bartenders in all of calgary.

Music: You can request a song to be played at the crack alley if you are a "18 year old" highschool girl who is willing to suck off one of the washed up, 40 year old, DJs in the DJ booth. Although the crack alley does play more rock music than any other night club in Calgary, because of this request policy at least half of the music played on an average night is Lady Gaga, Rihanna or something similar.

Entertainment: Among the many things to do at the crack alley the most popular are; getting "titty shots", fighting (on the dancefloor or in the parking lot) and nearly choking to death from the bear mace that is periodically sprayed by random assholes over the dancefloor.

Clientele: crack alley customers consist of oil rig workers who make a lot of money but blow it all on coke, "18 year old" highschool girls, basically every metal head/skid who went to your highschool and normal people who haven't been in a while and need to remind themselves why they don't go there.

I did a bunch of blow in the bathroom of the crack alley last night and got into a fight with some drunk ass
