Speed: The Ride Coming Back To Life?

Speed Roller Coaster Sahara Las Vegas

I’ve never been much of a fan of Sahara. By the time I made it there, it was a shell of itself and a filthy mess. That said, I know a lot of people have a soft spot in there heart for Sahara. Listening to the last two episodes of Five Hundy By Midnight podcast [...]

Yes, I’m a bit late on this but I’ve also been out of town.  Now that I’m back and catching up I wanted to touch on this.  Last week on the VegasTripping boards Twitter friend @vespajet noticed that American Casino Entertainment Properties (ACEP), owners of the Stratosphere, have registered the trademark the name Vegas International [...]

Vegas Taxicab Authority Administrator Charles Harvey OK Ripping You Off

by Marc April 23, 2012
Las Vegas Taxi

Vegas cab rides are hit and miss. There has long been discussion about being long hauled by a cab from McCarran Airport to whatever hotel you’re visiting and vice versa. Long hauling is being driven out of the way and charged more money than the trip should actually cost. It’s annoying and crooked. Long ago, I learned to [...]

Are Core Gamblers Bringing Vegas Back?

Hot Hot Penny Slots

Over the weekend the Las Vegas Sun released an article titled “They’re back: Core Gamblers are Helping Las Vegas Gaming Industry Recover”. The first line of the article even says that “The Core Gambler is Returning to Las Vegas.” But after reading the article, it’s a bit of misrepresentation. According to the author, a core [...]

Reaching The End of Vegas

by Marc April 16, 2012
Road To Nowhere

Las Vegas is much bigger than the strip. Believe it or not. As curious as I may be, I’m not much of the exploring type. When the weather turned to windows down driving weather I went for a drive to explore the burbs where I live in Vegas. On this beautiful day I drove by [...]

Why Rockhouse Closing is a Good Thing

Rockhouse Bar

I’m not a checklist kind of guy. I don’t have any goals to go to all 50 states, see every country, etc. So as such, even as my Las Vegas obsession grew, I never really considered whether I had been in every Las Vegas Strip casino. So three years into my obsession and after visiting [...]

Vegas Boozing: It’s a Marathon, not a Sprint

by Denver Gambler April 5, 2012
Stratosphere

Late Tuesday night, Stratosphere’s twitter account tweeted about an all-you-can-drink happy hour special from 5:00 – 9:00 at their Image Lounge.  The flyer in the tweet suggests that for $19.99 you can drink margaritas, martinis, and even draft beer.  That’s right. Four hours. Unlimited drinks. I’m not going to argue that this isn’t an excellent deal. With [...]

Tosh.0 Goes To Vegas

by Marc April 4, 2012
Tosh.0 in Vegas

I don’t watch what many people consider to be good TV. When he’s not airing videos of people vomiting, one of my favorite shows is Tosh.0. Last night he went off on a rant about Vegas before showing a short video of himself playing on hand of blackjack at Mirage. This kind of reminded me [...]

Cosmopolitan Taking Video Games Seriously

by Marc April 4, 2012

This weekend Cosmopolitan opened the EA Sports Bar. I thought it was opening around the release of Madden 2013, but I was mistaken. Pictures of the EA Sports Bar look cool but I don’t see any reason to go here even if I’m at Cosmopolitan and want to watch sports. On top of the EA [...]
