		<description><![CDATA[The Burlesque Hall of Fame is going on in Las Vegas this weekend at The Orleans Hotel and Casino.  There are going to be dozens and dozens of classic burlesque performers as well as a ton of new burlesque talent keeping an old style of sexy entertainment alive and well for our generation.  Tickets are on sale on The Orleans website. I&#8217;m looking at Burlesque Hall of Fame&#8217;s website at the moment.  I&#8217;ve never seen so many pasties! Granted, they aren&#8217;t required at most adult establishments these days, but it makes me think&#8230; There&#8217;s something really missing from modern day adult entertainment&#8230;  starting with real performance, costuming, and, well, enthusiasm for what they are doing!  I&#8217;ve known a handful of adult dancers that wanted to make an attempt at featured ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This time each year, soon after the weather has changed and it&#8217;s just so damned nice you want to be outside all of the time, Las Vegas Bike Fest hits town and no matter where you go you see an unusual number of bikes on the prowl around town. I&#8217;ve never really gone down to the shows to check them out, although I&#8217;ve always admired a sexy-looking chopper, myself. The Las Vegas Bike Fest is apparently a somewhat diffuse event, with different parts of it spread out over town. The event I was most interested in checking out was the custom bike show, which takes place on the Saturday of the event during the day down on Fremont Street. I went out there for an hour or so and took ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I screwed up last year. I slept on an opportunity to join a kickball team with some friends (some of which have since moved out of Vegas, as people tend to do, sometimes.) This year I didn&#8217;t hear anything about the league starting up amongst friends so, naturally, I did nothing. For some, adults playing kickball might seem like a silly diversion from life in Sin City. Well, pfffft to that shit. Kickball was the second best physical education sport in school, second only to Dodgeball. Now, it&#8217;s true that Kickball doesn&#8217;t have the genius marketing team of Vince Vaughan and Ben Stiller on their side &#8211; &#8220;If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; but what Kickball lacks in marketing it makes up for with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The story of the actual party is for anyone brave enough to tell it. This came later: It&#8217;s probably about four in the morning and I&#8217;m sitting at the bar in The Artisan Hotel off the Strip in Las Vegas with a self-proclaimed stripper and some guy that I just met a few hours ago. The girl says, &#8220;Seriously, my tits are fake. Look &#8211; you can see the scars.&#8221; She pulls herself almost completely out of her top to show me. The guy is on a mission to acquire some girl for what&#8217;s left of the night and the girl that I&#8217;m talking to doesn&#8217;t seem to be his flavor. She&#8217;s not my flavor either, but even if I did have plans to capture her, I wouldn&#8217;t feel comfortable ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since it opened, I&#8217;ve somehow managed to not go to a show at The Pearl, the live concert venue at The Palms. I&#8217;ve heard so much about how there aren&#8217;t really any bad seats in the house, as the layout makes the most of its relatively small size. After tonight&#8217;s show featuring one of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard, I have to say that I can&#8217;t imagine that there are any really good seats in the house. Okay, you can see well from pretty much anywhere, sure, but you won&#8217;t be enjoying the view in comfort, let&#8217;s put it that way. I understand that they had to make the most of the space they had to work with, but I was left wondering if the seats were designed by Japanese ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh my god I love this lizard!! Isn&#8217;t he cute? This is the newest addition to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. I want to see this sucker in action at feeding time! Feeding big fish smaller fish is fun, sure, but watching one of the most storied land predators at chow time has got to be a sight to behold. Ah, yes&#8230; the gnashing of teeth! Komodo Dragons are known for their ravenous, carnivore-style appetites. What you may not know is that they aren&#8217;t necessarily all attack-kill-eat in the wild&#8230; at least not in the time frame you might be thinking about. Komodo Dragons have a few curious adaptations. They have a bit of venom in their bite that causes almost immediate swelling and pain. This venom might ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh yes&#8230; Just like that. Mmmmm The sweet taste of political relevance! No more voting in Texas where the rural, overwhelmingly conservative vote and Washington influence usually makes the primary election winners a foregone conclusion. Since different states have different primary election or caucus rules, it turns out that the Republican Party does not allow you to vote in their caucus in Nevada unless you are a registered Republican, unlike the Democratic Party, who allows you to register as a Democrat at the time of the caucus. This is unfortunate, because unlike some states, such as Texas where I grew up, you can fully intend to vote Libertarian, Green Party, Dem, Republican, or whatever in the general election, but weigh in with your vote in the primary election for another ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night proved to be a bit of a trying experience for me. As is often the case, bloggers don&#8217;t get the same treatment that mainstream media gets, and our efforts to secure the implosion of The New Frontier here in Las Vegas last night was met with some typical but ultimately funny run-ins with Las Vegas Metro. This guy told me he could not say &#8220;officially&#8221; that it was okay to walk down the closed-off Desert Inn arterial to film the implosion from what was a good vantage point (well out of the way and behind lots of television crews below us on the ground, as well as construction/demolition workers and onlookers behind a fence.) He said that it was sort of a at-your-own-risk/knowing what is safe for you ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The girl that&#8217;s about to get in my taxi is jumping around, full of energy and obviously happy just to be alive. I might even go so far as to say that she&#8217;s &#8220;buzzing with excitement.&#8221; &#8230;but only because she&#8217;s dressed like a bee. Her ladybug friend has on some kind of boy short/thong hybrid that exposes most of her butt and, much like a ladybug, is less frenetic. She makes sure her wings don&#8217;t get crunched in the door as she gets in the front seat. The guys with them have no costumes and, from what I can tell, have probably been switching out their full drinks for the girls&#8217; empties all night. They all seem to want to drive to different destinations and, not surprisingly, the bee girl ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BlogWorld and New Media Expo is coming to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. As fate would have it, Amy Gahran of Contentious.com found my blog, and she has asked me to sit on a panel at the conference and talk about blogging ethics. I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time thinking about the changing way that media and information is delivered in the 21st century and about blogging, in particular, so I&#8217;m really excited to share my opinions with the panel. Okay &#8211; I tend to be excited to share my opinion at any time with anyone who will listen, but hey, being a blog ethics panelist carries a bit &#8216;o cachet! Now I&#8217;m officially opinionated! Seriously, though, the conference looks like it will be really good, in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dudes in costumes playing Magic the Gathering. Jesus I&#8217;m stoked. All kidding aside, starting this Friday and running through Sunday, the 2007 Las Vegas Renaissance Festival is going on at Sunset Park. It&#8217;s $10 per person per day or $25 if you&#8217;re bored and have the stamina and/or will to go for all three days. Coincidentally, we&#8217;re in preparations to start our new Las Vegas video podcast and will be out at at the festival on Friday shooting some film, probably eating turkey legs, and most definitely drinking beer. To actually make the day fun, in the spirit of The Three Musketeers (the movie,) we&#8217;re going wenching! Look for our camera crew in the park and come entertain our readers. Viewer participation is strongly encouraged!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it&#8217;s true: I don&#8217;t believe in luck. Big time superstitions &#8211; even small, insidious ones &#8211; can be the undoing of any gambler, but mostly, I have always been big on mathematics and science and not so much on defying the inevitable. The law of large numbers is on your side, so long as you&#8217;re gambling with an edge. I&#8217;ve seen that principle in practice so many times, if I have a &#8220;belief,&#8221; it&#8217;s in the math. There are some very troubling mathematics and probability issues surrounding marriage today. Well, it&#8217;s not a new problem, but it seems to be a very consistent one &#8211; I&#8217;m sure that everyone has the same impression about marriage, more or less: the odds of any marriage working out for the long term ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night Las Vegas enjoyed a new level of what has become something of a norm for our little town&#8230; As of late, Hollywood sees Las Vegas not only as it&#8217;s new &#8220;back lot&#8221; where so much film and television production happens, but we&#8217;ve been seeing premieres of films more regularly, and in this particular case, a major one: Ocean&#8217;s 13 premiering at CineVegas at The Palms. Along with a number of stars from the film, a host of other celebrities in town for CineVegas were out in full force for the opening. The crowds were eight and ten people deep trying to get photos of their favorite actors and I&#8217;m sure the Palms casino was booking large numbers all night. For years now, CineVegas has been working to make ...]]></description>
