in Entertainment,Las Vegas

I have a bad taste in my mouth from movies based in Las Vegas after seeing “Lay The Favorite” but I was pleasantly surprised when @dribbleglass shared the trailer for the movie “Last Vegas“. I first heard about “Last Vegas” when it was filming last year but wasn’t very excited by the “old guy Hangover” [...]

cosmopolitan las vegas casino

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has had its struggles since opening. They haven’t posted a positive quarter of earnings yet. They’re business model is “the future of Vegas” where 70% (or so) of the revenues come from the non-gaming parts of the casino. That probably won’t change in the future but as a casino in [...]

A few years ago a couple friends were talking to some girls and asked them where they were staying on their Vegas vacation. The girls answered “Terribles”.  Never hearing of Terribles Casino my friends asked the girls if they were staying in a gas station. Until that point the only Terribles my friends and I [...]

lay the favorite movie poster

I don’t write movie reviews very often. Between my lack of patience to watch movies and minimal movies about casinos and gambling there’s little to write about. That said, I was stoked to see “Lay The Favorite” when I first heard about it. People seemed to enjoy the book and the story behind ”Lay The Favorite” [...]

Bagatelle Beach Tropicana Las Vegas

Eating and drinking outside? I’m in! A couple weeks ago I was invited to have lunch at the new Bagatelle Beach at Tropicana. This was the soft opening and a great way to kick off Cinco De Mayo weekend before losing every bet I made on the Kentucky Derby. Since this was the soft opening [...]

Las Vegas Weather

Talking about the weather is a funny thing. I was tweeting about this a few weeks ago when a friend had similar, unrelated, thoughts about talking weather. Usually weather is a topic just to fill awkward moments of silence. When I told friends I was moving to Las Vegas they all asked me about how I’ll deal with [...]

Atlantic Club Casino Valet

It’s rare that there are good rumors about Atlantic City floating around and this feels like one of those days. Last week was news that there wouldn’t be an influx of fresh blood and new thinking in Atlantic City but that may not be the case. First, there is louder talk than usual about Caesars [...]
