Kickball For Adults Rocks! – Las Vegas Hosts the Founders Cup
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’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.

“Get Nailed” Salon Las Vegas
First off: Great marketing! I just love the name… So much so, in fact, that today I thought to myself, “Self, you should go get a last minute pedicure before you leave on your summer trip to Texas,” having seen their very memorable sign dozens of times.
See, the thing is, on Sundays nail salons, hair salons, and those sorts of service-oriented businesses tend to close early, usually by five or six p.m.

It’s all about the ponies. That’s all I’m saying! Last night Bravo, Nick the Cabbie, and myself went out to do a little gambling at the New Frontier on it’s last night as an operating casino. It was fun! You know it’s funny how when you live in this town you can forget how much fun it can be to just go to an old casino with a couple of friends and roam around laughing while you pump “silver dollars” into a machine like they have no value. Okay, well they are made of aluminum and aren’t legal tender making them literally worthless in of themselves, but you can cash them in for the real thing! And besides, it’s really easy to forget how much fun that is when so few casinos actually have a “hard count” (coins) anymore.
