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.

It’s more than just a Mexican food restaurant, for sure, but at the end of the day, it’s a restaurant and bar.

Anyhow, on Friday she received her new issue of Playboy Magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see a cute girl in an old school Playboy Bunny outfit on the cover, complete with ears and a bow tie.
Last fall, almost exactly a year ago, in fact, Playboy and The Palms opened the new Fantasy Tower, complete with the first Playboy Club to open in twenty-five years.

Tallest Building in United States in Las Vegas?
It’s been a couple of years now since I heard the early rumors of a very, very tall building project for Las Vegas being proposed by an Australian billionaire developer. It was being talked about around the same time that Ivana Trump announced her super-tall building on the property at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara. In fact, it was at a time when it seemed like all you heard on the news was the latest and greatest imaginings of super-wealthy developers for Las Vegas and the impending “Manhattanization” of our fair city.
