mj_-_thriller25_-_press_shot_2-1Sad to say, Michael Jackson has died suddenly in Los Angeles.  I’ve loved his music since I was a kid, rollerskating to his Off The Wall album.  After Thriller, my parents took me to see The Jacksons’ Victory Tour at the Houston Astrodome.  For all of the scandals and things that have been said about him, I’ve always respected his music, and I always felt like people shoud just leave him the hell alone… he obviously needs his space.

Artisan Hotel - Deluxe RoomMany important people come to visit The Artisan Hotel just to feel that euphoric-yet-naughty sensation they once felt in the past. Recently during a very, very busy day shift, I spotted an impressive looking female in her late thirties waiting for my approach at the hotel bar to serve her. [Editor's Note: Bree, our newest guest writer, is a bartender at The Artisan Hotel.] There was no one else in the bar except her when I ran in from the madhouse of guests in the dining room and lobby.

Las Vegas Komodo Dragon 2Oh my god I love this lizard!! Isn’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… the gnashing of teeth!

Komodo Dragons are known for their ravenous, carnivore-style appetites.

I think I might should be ashamed to admit this, but I’ll admit it just the same: I’ve never seen Wayne Newton perform live in Las Vegas. Okay, I’ve never seen Wayne Newton perform live anywhere, but if I were to see him, it would almost definitely have to be here in our mutual hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada.

I’ve always sort of intended to go and catch his show but it seems like his schedule is a little unpredictable the last few years. He takes long breaks, it appears, then I’ll see billboards saying he’s doing his nightly show at the Flamingo again and I think “I really should go see that little slice of classic Vegas while it’s still available.” And then I get the news (again) – he’s on hiatus.
