		<description><![CDATA[It is a risky thing to make deals with governments that exist without the consent of the governed and remain largely unaccountable and, in the absence of a free press, furtive. Needless to say the casino business has not seen things that way. When an elite loots a nation they have lots of money to [...]]]></description>

The Hard Rock casino has use of the name. Easy short hand: The Hard Rock in Vegas is where John Entwistle of the Who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is perhaps the most pathetic series I have ever embarked on. But our local Strip resorts seem to have run out of ways to make money that aren&#8217;t sneaky like the resort fee or customer service damaging like layoffs. Anyway, I took a few moments to make a list of ways casinos could earn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;t vouch for what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The annual SXSW festival in Austin, Texas is happening now. And, that reminded me of a depressing conversation I had there with guitar player/writer Lenny Kaye in March, 1999.  This was just before I moved to Las Vegas.  Kaye is the guitar player in The Patti Smith Group.  In 1999, after years out of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s with multiple properties on the Strip can easily experiment with a smoke free resort [...]]]></description>
