Palms Hotel Small

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 [...]

Tropicana Dealer Small

  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 [...]

Borgata Atlantic City Small

I feel as if things are back to normal with ECG.  I’m pretty stoked that there’s so much east coast info.  I’ve been supporting Atlantic City, as a market, for years always looking for something nice to say but it’s become so easy to speak negatively about the market and the news keeps coming.  I’m [...]

Claire Sinclair Small

So the weeks have become a little more hectic in ECG land with the additions of Free Picks and Fun and Get Vegas Apps along with added columns on Vegas Chatter.  No complaints here…I’m stoked! I’ve actually had to hold off on building a couple other companion sites while I get into a groove. I [...]

Blake Griffin is a Man

by Marc December 4, 2010

One of the nice things about moving out west is being able to watch Blake Griffin play live with the Clippers and still be able to function the next day.  He is awesome and great to watch.  Check his Top 10 Dunks below.  The video looks great full screen since it’s HD. If I wore [...]

Week In Review

by Marc October 31, 2010

It’s been a busier week in news than I’ve had time for ECG, unfortunately.  I’m in the process of packing for a move and haven’t had as much time for ECG as I’d like.  That will change soon, but for now I’ll keep sporadically plugging along with ECG.  Here’s a look at what I was [...]

Lakers Experiment

by Marc October 27, 2010

I’m pretty stoked for this NBA season.  I’m going to try a betting strategy I’ve avoided in the past just for fun.  I’m going to play the Lakers against the spread (ATS) in every game for 1 unit.  They should easily be the best team in the west.  If nothing else I’m expecting them to [...]

Week In Review

Lots of action, again, this week at ECG.  Plenty of which came from the east coast, which isn’t always the case.  Hopefully Trump and Caesars get their air conditioning fixed in time for my next trip down south.

Week In Review

by Marc July 11, 2010

Lots of good stuff this week on ECG.  I’m going to slowly start ECG 4.0 in the next few weeks.  I’m going to try to do this behind the scenes, but my lack of programming skills may not allow that.  So if the site looks as if it’s under construction then it probably is.  This [...]
