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. Not very long after that I moved to my own domain, here on WhileLasVegasSleeps.com, and here we have remained with the same sad, ugly ass blog theme since day 1.1.
I realize I’ve been promising – unfilled promises, yes – that there were changes a-coming to my blog site, complete with a new, branded look, a podcast, video, free booze and all sorts of fun. Well the time is nigh, my friends!

Frontier Hotel and Casino – Las Vegas Implosion Video!
Last night proved to be a bit of a trying experience for me. As is often the case, bloggers don’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 “officially” 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 sort of thing. So we went.

A Sad Day For Golden Gate Hotel and Casino
For years I’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…) I like walking into casinos (at least the clean ones, anyways) that have low ceilings with antique lighting fixtures and wood paneling – cashier’s cages with cute little brass bars. It’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.
…But things change. Nowhere do things change as often or as quickly as they do here in Las Vegas, Nevada.

LAX Las Vegas – Nightclub at the Luxor
Continue reading…
Having been open for well over a month, last night I finally ventured out with my friend Christopher Nolan to LAX to take a look around Las Vegas’ newest superclub. I’ve heard good things, but I’ve been really busy as of late, and in general I tend to avoid club openings and the celebrity worshipping madness that takes place around such things. Most importantly, though, I really just enjoy partying at a club once it has a real solid weekly night of good music and dancing and has some recognizable faces in the crowd. These things take time, my friend…
