in Las Vegas

I love Las Vegas history.  I’ve written about it often on this site, on NeonDice, and I’ve ever recently been writing about it on VegasChatter.  One of my favorite things to do when I’m bored to peruse eBay for random trinkets and other fun things from old casinos.  Yesterday I was doing just that and [...]

Revel Atlantic City Small

The week was a blur as I recovered from a visit from my parents. The only thing that stood out to me, besides Apple releasing an update for the iPhone was that Revel is getting closer and closer to opening. I’m getting more and more stoked about this and think that a trip back east [...]

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 [...]

Britney Spears

I thought this was a busy week on ECG, but it wasn’t too busy on ECG proper. It was busy throughout the new ECG family, which now includes Get Vegas Apps and (the work in progress) Free Picks and Fun!  Truth is all blogs are works in progress, but I’m still trying to find the [...]
