		<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[They Just Don&#8217;t Make &#8216;em Like They Used To&#8230; Tonight marked the last public performance of the Folies Bergère at the Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.  The show had an almost fifty year-long run at the resort and has seen some unimaginable changes here in town.  I was happy I was able to get a couple of tickets at a two person table in the center for one of tonight&#8217;s two performances. Las Vegas&#8217; topless showgirl and variety performance shows are definitely a dying breed in Las Vegas.  It seems that producers don&#8217;t really know what will work well here in town, and as a result, when they find something that is working, they just try to duplicate that as often as they can, rather than really putting ...]]></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[Perhaps the least well-known member of the Rat Pack, Joey Bishop passed away last week at his home in Newport Beach at 89 years old. I had meant to mention his passing but it was a hectic week for me, but I wanted to make mention here now. I&#8217;m always a bit sentimental when I think about Old Vegas, Classic Vegas, and what it must have been like back then. I rather think I would prefer some things to be how they used to be. I would love to step into the storied Copa Room at The Sands Hotel to hear Dean Martin on a night when the Sands Hotel&#8217;s sign read &#8220;Dean Martin&#8221; and in small letters &#8220;Maybe Frank &#8211; Maybe Sammy.&#8221; It was those iconic images of Las ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For years I&#8217;ve enjoyed Downtown Las Vegas in a way that I think is lost on a lot of people. I actually have always kind of dug the old, kitschy vibe, the stuff with a little history, the stuff with a little character (and a lot of characters, at that&#8230;) I like walking into casinos (at least the clean ones, anyways) that have low ceilings with antique lighting fixtures and wood paneling &#8211; cashier&#8217;s cages with cute little brass bars. It&#8217;s sort of like the Old West. Do I go down there all the time? No, of course not. Do I feel a sense a security knowing that at least some things never change? Hell yes. &#8230;But things change. Nowhere do things change as often or as quickly as they ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I might should be ashamed to admit this, but I&#8217;ll admit it just the same: I&#8217;ve never seen Wayne Newton perform live in Las Vegas. Okay, I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;ll see billboards saying he&#8217;s doing his nightly show at the Flamingo again and I think &#8220;I really should go see that little slice of classic Vegas while it&#8217;s still available.&#8221; And then I get the news (again) &#8211; he&#8217;s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all about the ponies. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying! Last night Bravo, Nick the Cabbie, and myself went out to do a little gambling at the New Frontier on it&#8217;s last night as an operating casino. It was fun! You know it&#8217;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 &#8220;silver dollars&#8221; into a machine like they have no value. Okay, well they are made of aluminum and aren&#8217;t legal tender making them literally worthless in of themselves, but you can cash them in for the real thing! And besides, it&#8217;s really easy to forget how much fun that is when so ...]]></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[It only took the feds 21 years, but they&#8217;ve finally gotten at least one plea of guilty in the killings of two Chicago Outfit mafia members. These guys were made famous, albeit with names changed, in the hit movie &#8220;Casino&#8221; by Martin Scorsese. Tony &#8220;the ant&#8221; Spilotro is the real name of the character played by Joe Pesci in the film. He and his brother (Michael Spilotro in real life) were both beaten to death and buried in a field in Indiana, if you recall from watching the movie &#8211; that event in the film was factual. I&#8217;ve read the book &#8220;Casino&#8221; by Nicholas Pileggi and it is a work of non-fiction, changing no names and telling the story in its entirety. It&#8217;s an intriguing story from a fascinating time ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feeling a bit under the weather yesterday afternoon, due to a bit of the ol&#8217; cocktail flu, I decided to drive out to Goodsprings, Nevada with Nick the Good to have a beer at the old Pioneer Saloon I don&#8217;t think that Nick&#8217;s been south out of the Las Vegas Valley in the few months he&#8217;s been living here, so this was a nice little outing, though it&#8217;s just a short 20 mile drive or so. I&#8217;d been out to see the Pioneer Saloon once before but it was a little early in the afternoon and it wasn&#8217;t yet open. Yesterday we showed up and things were a little different altogether&#8230; Apparently around the first part of the weekend, a driver, not drunk but terribly sleepy, came around the corner ...]]></description>
