The police report for Paris Hilton has been released. We learn that her middle name is Whitney and she is defendant #2756392. The arrest report also contains some confusing details that you can expect her attorney, the locally connected and celebrity friendly David Chesnoff, to go to town on. Perhaps the single strangest description in [...]
The giant heroic statue Vegas nightclubs have erected to Paris Hilton seems to have a soft white powder for feet. Paris Hilton has been naughty in Vegas for many, many years now. The first time I saw her where she should not be was a New Year’s weekend, Guns & Roses concert at the Hard [...]
Breaking: Last night Paris Hilton and Wynn nightclub executive Cy Waits were allegedly pulled over by Metro. The Review-Journal reports Hilton was arrested for having a small amount of cocaine in her purse. TMZ reports, Hilton is denying it was her purse. The driver is not identified by the Review-Journal. The car with Hilton and [...]
Last month I went to Washington DC to cover the obscenity trial of former Vegas show producer John Stagliano. My coverage can be read at Reason, a libertarian think-tank. Full disclosure: Stagliano is a friend. But friendship was not what brought me to Washington DC. The Stagliano case mattered, because immense government resources were going [...]
A long time ago I became aware that Criss Angel had a permit to carry a concealed handgun. He was living at the Luxor when I found out. And, despite the fact that I was disturbed that he could be armed at any given moment, I don’t make the laws of Nevada and Angel apparently [...]
I usually don’t get involved in politics. It is a sign of just how disturbing Republican nominee Sharon Angle is in her beliefs that I feel the need to be shocked into writing about her candidacy. She can’t win in Nevada, but it still amazes me she got this far. I get that she wants [...]
It is interesting to observe how both local newspapers present the same story. The parent company (Landry’s) of the Golden Nugget lost money as did the casinos in the second quarter, but because there was a tower of new rooms opened at the Golden Nuggest Las Vegas, more money came into the company (though not [...]
For years I have been covering the city of Las Vegas’ increasingly pathetic attempts to ban the full implications of the First Amendment from Fremont Street Experience, because like every parochial city, they fear that urban life will keep the tourists away. Yes, under the lighted canopy tourists will see that Vegas has beggars, freelance [...]
The National Enquirer is reporting as breaking news what at the very least is information so old they have obtained it on VIDEO. Maybe, “videotape” is just a poor word choice and not something to be played on a VCR. Hard to say, a clear story does not seem to be the goal of the [...]
Okay, so the mayor of Las Vegas has virtually no power–and he generally comes off as ridiculous, rather than freedom threatening. An example of his skill at national embarrassment came when he complained about not being notified by the Department of Homeland Security concerning a terrorism threat to his city . Mayor Goodman, did not [...]
