o'sheas las vegas

Yesterday we said goodbye to the small budget-friendly casino O’Sheas. The casino is closing to make way for Linq. I’ve already posted pictures of other Linq construction, but closing O’Sheas is probably one the biggest (if not the biggest) moves that will be made to clear way for construction. That being said, what is next [...]

When you live in Vegas, you see video poker everywhere. There are tiny “casinos” like Dotty’s. Restaurant/Bars like Buffalo Wild Wings have video poker. They’re also open 24 hours a day. Kinda cool, kinda strange but very Vegas. When I moved I found it strange to see video poker in gas stations. I found it [...]

It wasn’t until recently that I realized that people watch “The Bachelor“. I also didn’t realize that people watch “The Real Housewives of…“. Sue me, my friends are either too cool or watch sports. Evidently the people that watch these shows are somewhere between 21-25, because these are the people that the Vegas clubs and [...]

After passing on the better video poker offerings at Revel last week I said that I would run a check to see what kind of blackjack payouts they were going to offer. The Main Street Haitian commented hearing on five hundy by midnight that blackjack payouts at Revel are 3:2 with dealers hitting on soft 17. [...]

If you’ve been reading my writing for a while, then you know that I’m really into Las Vegas history. I love reading about it, learning more things, looking at old photos, and writing about it. One thing I like to do in my free time is to peruse Ebay for vintage Vegas collectibles. Every now [...]

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 [...]
