TMZ today looks at how Jayde Nicole wound up pictured on an escort card in Vegas (the kind that offers girls direct to your room). The card gives another name for the model. Jayde Nicole, of course, will not be coming to your room. And if you look at those photos on the cards and [...]
This is an actual question from a tourist: “I finished my vacation with $100 leftover. Should I spend it gambling long odds, or go get some lap dances?” I have no advice for this man (?). I thank him. Las Vegas depends on people who ponder this important question. (Photo: Sarah Gerke)
Nevada has a tradition of individual freedom and a libertarian streak against government regulation. But I think we have reached the point where casinos should begin offering their customers and employees a smoke free environment. Certainly, companies like MGM-Mirage and Harrah’s with multiple properties on the Strip can easily experiment with a smoke free resort [...]
I loved “Donny & Marie” show at Flamingo. That is a sentence I never thought I would write. I am sure the show has not changed since I saw it last year, and so it must be me. Actually they do put on a stronger and tighter show than the last time I saw them. [...]

With the orchestra and the band we’re going to be able to perform our songs [...]

If I had to be jealous of one person in Las Vegas it would be Penn Jillette. First off he knows more about Dylan than I do. Then there is the fact that he gets to work with Teller, who like Penn is one of the most brilliant people I have ever interviewed. I do [...]
Checking on the conventions coming to Vegas over the next couple weeks something stood out. I am struck by how many of them are focused on some aspect of health care. (I have included the veterinarian convention not to bulk the list but because of my cat obsession.) Unlike bankers who took bailout money from [...]
These days Las Vegas nightclubs have been under greater scrutiny than ever before from gaming authorities. Prive at Planet Hollywood lost its license briefly after a series of alleged infractions.
