I thought for sure there would be a seedy motel or little casino in Las Vegas called that. But all I found was Pair-A-Dice Trailer Park in North Las Vegas, NV. And Pair-A-Dice Tattoo 304 E Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV.
For some folks paradise IS holding a pair of dice. So you would think that that would be a common name for watering holes and the like in and out of areas of legal gambling. Like "the dew drop inn".
That was good sleuthing you did just now...even if it dead ended. But who knows? Maybe in 1973 there was some no longer extant specific place of that pun name that he lived near.
"Paradise" spelled correctly is a fairly common town name. One such town, in western Kentucky, was completely dismantled and hauled away for strip mining back in the Seventies (its demise is celebrated in a great song by the late John Prine).
Paradise, NV is next to Las Vegas, NV.
I didn't look hard enough the first time. There was a Pair-A-Dice motel on East Fremont like I figured.
