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 [...]
This poster was not created by me as a fantasy, but comes from the real Matador site. I have often lamented that most of my favorite bands skip playing Vegas shows on their tours. All is forgiven! Except for Drive-by Truckers or a Husker Du reunion, this show could be a lineup [...]
I went to check out Devo at the official debut of the new Crown Theatre/nightclub at Rio. This is the space that has hosted everyone from magician Mac King to Prince’s 3121 stand.
I remain very excited by the independent booking of the club. I am less impressed by the mix of concert venue with nightclub. [...]
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 [...]
Mike Huckabee hosted his Fox Show from the Venetian/Palazzo last week. In his monologue he points out that he is standing in contrast to the President who urged people not to go to Vegas. That, of course, isn’t what the President said. And, Huckabee’s Vegas support came with a caveat: He arrived with the Ten [...]

But right now “Inferno” has at [...]
For two days I have been trying to reach Matthew Archbold of National Catholic Register. And, for two days he has chosen to ignore my request for an explanation/interview on a bizarre opinion piece he authored for NCR.
As I blogged earlier, an Australian reality show is allegedly planning to auction off the alleged virginity of [...]
Criss Angel is not a rip off Houdini but a tribute artist. Or, something like that. Despite lending “Believe” its name, I doubt Houdini could have mustered the concentration to sit through the show at Luxor.
There is a funny blog item from Phoenix New Times about Criss Angel’s escape a few days ago from a [...]
Those of you who have read my writing for years know well the photography of Sarah Gerke. Yesterday, The Los Angeles Times ran the last Sarah Gerke photo for Movable Buffet. Sarah has left Vegas for her hometown of Seattle. She will be missed.
I asked her to select some of her favorite photos from the [...]
Norm Clarke is reporting that a raid took place yesterday at Eva Longoria Parker’s Beso restaurant and Eve nightclub at CityCenter. Unlike the infamous Pure raid by the IRS (investigation still open), this action apparently was bizarrely carried out by private security working for the owners.
It seems that like in some [...]
