Guest Column: Nick the Cabbie – “Step on it.”
Instead of getting in my cab, this guy walks around to my window and says, “Can you get me to the airport in ten minutes?”
I quickly consider a multitude of factors like
(A) where I am,1
(B) which route I will take,2
(C) how long it normally takes from here,3
(D) what day it is,4
(E) what time it is,5
(F) how much traffic will there be,6

(I) what will happen if I take longer than ten minutes,9

Let the Debauchery Begin!
Four score and… okay who am I kidding, in 2006, I started my little Las Vegas blog on WordPress.com, not realizing at the time that it would be much better to have my own domain and the freedom that comes with it.

I’m seriously into wine. It’s something that I am very passionate about. So much so, in fact, I’ve done a lot of traveling that’s just about increasing my wine knowledge and experiences with wine and food, from Napa to the Rhone Valley in France and back.

Las Vegas Pink Taco

I was at the Hard Rock Hotel walking from the parking garage yesterday, and when I walked past The Pink Taco (home of the world famous “wet burrito”) I saw a sign with a delicious-looking pink margarita. I suddenly realized what I was reading: Every Thursday from five to seven p.m., girls who show up wearing pink drink free – free pink margaritas!
