Vegas properties are massive.  This is no secret.  And with the plethora of casinos that line Las Vegas Blvd, there are a million things to do.  There are the obvious things to do, like the Bellagio Fountains and Mirage Volcano, but there are also lots of fun and cool things that are a bit less [...]

Week In Review

by Marc December 11, 2011

Another week in Vegas where I realize I still don’t know where I’m going. I got lost multiple times this week. I’ve always been directionally challenged and this is not a city easy to navigate for someone used to being given street directions (i.e. 2 blocks this way, 1 right, etc.) Some day I’ll figure [...]

When You’re Taking a Breather In Vegas

by Denver Gambler December 6, 2011
upright bass small

Chances are, if I am in a casino in Las Vegas (or anywhere, really), I am going to be gambling.  But when I play, I rarely gamble for hours and hours straight.  I generally do a short session, followed by another short session and at some point, I’m going to want a break.  Those breaks [...]

I don’t really remember much from last week besides going out to write every day and having a lot to share! I’m finally getting caught up from being sick. Yay. I’m looking forward I have a visit from my parents and G2E next week. G2E is the Global Gaming Expo, which is the casino trade [...]

Tiger Bored Small

I’m not sure if it’s the people I follow on twitter or if I’m just noticing it more, but I have seen a number of “Top X Things To Do In Las Vegas That Doesn’t Include Gambling.” I’m not going to censor myself today. I’ve had way too much coffee for that. FUCK THAT There, [...]

Dreaming About Classic Vegas

by Denver Gambler September 27, 2011
Dunes Sign Small

I, admittedly, am relatively new to Las Vegas.  I love the town, learning it’s history, visiting often, and partaking in gambling and drinking.  But that being said, the only Las Vegas I have really experienced is the 2000’s version of Las Vegas.  This means that I never got to play in some of the most [...]

Week In Review

Red Rock Canyon Drive Small

This was the kind of productive week I’m talking about with lots of time outside. This is why I moved west. Now that the 115′s are past, I’m back writing outside every day. It’s beautiful out…always! Being from the northeast, I don’t get cold often. As part of of my productive week, I was finally [...]

Dunes Implosion Small

In light of the pending implosion of The Harmon, Vegas Inc. decided to list the Top 10 Vegas Strip Hotel implosions. I love implosions and figured this was a good excuse to visit the youtube archives. For the next couple of weeks I’ll grab video of these 10 Las Vegas Strip Hotel implosions. We’re at the end of the list and [...]

Project Linq Adds Reason To Avoid The East Side of the Las Vegas Strip

by Marc August 17, 2011
Linq Small

Earlier this week Denver Gambler shared some thoughts on Caesars Entertainment‘s ProjectThe Linq. While The Linq may be a good thing for Ceasars and a good thing for Vegas with added jobs it’s not something that remotely interests me. In fact, The Linq will probably push me away from Caesars properties. I’m not alone in [...]

Do People Look At You Funny Because You Gamble?

Golden Nugget Atlantic City Small

JMP will be back for football season, but needed to get something off of his chest after a recent trip to Atlantic City.  Personally, I don’t care what other people think of my fun, but that’s just me.  Take a look. I recently parlayed my family vacation to Ocean City, NJ into a little trip [...]
