in Basketball

Last night Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers had a monstrous dunk that may have broken twitter for a while. Surprisingly, I wasn’t watching the game. I was watching “Las Vegas” (Season 1 is a favorite). I passed the dunk on to other people on twitter, but I needed to see how awesome the dunk was [...]

10 Best Days To Watch Sports In Las Vegas

Venetian Sportsbook Small

This article from Forbes titled “10 Best Las Vegas Sports Events – And Where To Watch Them” may have been paid for by MGM Resorts as there are sportsbooks here that nobody will ever recommend and half the list is MGM properties. Additionally, the write ups seem forced or written by someone that doesn’t gamble [...]

I finally kicked that virus I’ve had for what seems like forever and was able to catch up with things here. Unfortunately all the football prep I’ve done has gone for naught as I’m off to an awful start to the college football season. Hopefully NFL treats me better. You can see some of the [...]

Blake Griffin Small

With news that there will be basketball in Las Vegas this summer (albeit not the traditional summer league) it got me once again thinking about the often proposed but never completed strip arena.  Arenas have been proposed in a few different places including behind Bally’s and next to Fontainebleau and Sahara, but none have taken hold.  [...]

It’s a beautiful Sunday and a fun day in sports with the British Open in the morning, baseball all day and the Women’s World Cup final in the middle.  There’s also celebrity golf on NBC somewhere later in the day.  I love baseball and days like this keep sports in the summer fun and different.  [...]

Other Losers from The NFL & NBA Lockouts

Tropicana Las Vegas Sportsbook Small

With the NBA and NFL both in lockouts, a unique sports autumn is upon us.  Yes, I know that it looks like the NFL will resolve its labor situation sooner rather than later, but let’s not count our chickens before they hatch.  Sure the lockouts affect players, owners, arenas, and fans, but what about companies [...]

Last week I passed on info that Palms, in Las Vegas, received an injection of cash to help settle some of their debt problems.  Just a few days after the report that TGP Partners injected some money we all learn how much they and the Maloof‘s actually own. The Maloof family will soon own just [...]

  There was a lot of east coast news this week, which is always fun for me.  Sometimes writing about the east makes me pine for return, but usually it doesn’t.  The past couple weeks have been a blast for me as I’ve been out more than usual and that doesn’t seem to be ending [...]
