I freely acknowledge Aurora Snow and I have had a relationship for years now. Unlike everywhere else I write, I own this blog. So, I hope, as my readers, you do not feel there is anything dishonest in the conflict of interest inherent in letting you know about Aurora’s special guest appearance in Matt Donnelly’s [...]
Honestly I never cared about Vince Neil enough to know his history or that he claimed to not drink at all. If so, it would have been easy enough to call him out on that. He is a regular, with a glass in hand, around Vegas at receptions and events. I can’t [...]
I am working on a couple projects. But some quick Vegas reads from obscure corners:
This story from Computer World looks at one of two data centers in Venetian. I am so stealing this idea for a story. I have never been to a casino data center. That they exist is obvious looking [...]
Stories are appearing all over the Internets that Paris Hilton’s latest love is Vegas nightclub personality Cy Waits. Cy and Jesse Waits are the twins behind much of the successful club activity at Wynn. You don’t read about them much these days in the media. Usually nightclub personalities like attention. But since [...]
The Ribbon of Life benefit for Golden Rainbow happened yesterday afternoon. But unlike the usual non-partisan concern for the sick, there was one skit that was pure political satire and message. If Lanie Crossman’s photo is not self-explanatory, please read Doug Elfman’s outstanding take on the event.
My own story on Ribbon of Life and Golden [...]
In a recession it is easier to hire people who will pretend to be tricked than to come up with good magic tricks. That is my theory. Criss Angel is releasing a magic kit. Maybe it will be so good that people will be impressed by the tricks?
Well, hint, it does not seem like Criss [...]
It happened one day in June, 2008. I was at the food court at the Palms. I was covering the CineVegas film festival when a total stranger sat down to talk to me. Of course, it is hard to think of the face belonging to Dennis Hopper as that of a stranger. Dennis Hopper [...]
Lohan may be starring but a promotional trip to Cannes seems premature. After all the rights to the name Lovelace are not yet available to the producers of Inferno according to Raymond Pistol. I checked in with Raymond Pistol, owner of Arrow productions which possess copyright to Deep Throat and Linda Lovelace, [...]
This is not a magician to give money from your wallet for a trick. It might really vanish.
It is a sad spectacle to kick someone when they are down. I am not proud to be doing so. But you get the truth and rumors confirmed at bad moments. That’s life, as Mr. Sinatra sang. And, [...]
Sorry to leave Vegas for a moment. But I am huge geek level fan of the producer Phil Spector. Tina Turner’s voice was like a warrior’s gift from the Gods—like a magic spear or shield– given to a worthy champion. “River Deep, Mountain High” takes a pop song to the perfection [...]
