Suck My Big Nevada Cauc...

Oh yes… Just like that. Mmmmm The sweet taste of political relevance! No more voting in Texas where the rural, overwhelmingly conservative vote and Washington influence usually makes the primary election winners a foregone conclusion. Since different states have different primary...

Sweet Little Tucked-Awa...

I like to think I know a little bit about that town we shout home – Las Vegas. The truth is, Las Vegas is big adequate and has spread out decent that it’s really hard to keep up with all the new spots. There are hot spots and there are sweet spots. There are even...

Las Vegas Rainy Season...

Las Vegas, Nevada, is famously dry in the middle of the desert. Most public think of the desert as a place where things are dry as a bone – barely supporting life as we know it. The truth is, everything needs water. It rains here. It even snows here upon occasion (though it...

Guest Column: Summer th...

Only in Las Vegas, Nevada, would you see a man’s privates in public before dinnertime, and whether you did happen to see said man’s now public privates, there’s a good chance it would be on Tropicana Boulevard. A few weeks ago I was driving down Tropicana from the office of a...

Las Vegas Tax Services ...

I Las Vegas, with so many, uh, different sorts of occupations, there exists a market to reach out to these “service industry” folks and supply solid, valid, financial planning, legal, and tax preparation services. We don’t discriminate in our fair city. We embrace! You...

I Ain’t Loving These ...

I knew it was dry but that is crazy! Brothas’ gotta drink out here, yo! When I first moved to Las Vegas a number of years ago we were already at like year three or four of what is now like an eight or nine year-long “drought.” I remember thinking, “wow –...

Monte Carlo Hotel and C...

The Monte Carlo is now open again that weekend for the first date since the fire that burned a major portion of the roof and top floor facade. The outside no longer looks fire-damaged. It looks more like it’s just getting a face-lift – some cosmetic rejuvenation. For me it...

Did Las Vegas Police Ac...

Lately Las Vegas has turned into what seems like the damn pull-over capital of the West. I actually did compose out that there was a police academy class that graduated recently. I got pulled by – Liz did, actually, I was in the passenger seat – and that cop that was probably...

I Thought It Was Just o...

Last night I was at Bucks #1 and the adjoining Kinkos, drinking my ritual coffee and taking care of some printing stuff I had to do. I saw a sign on the door of the Starbucks saying they would be closed tomorrow (today) from 5:30-9:30pm. I was a little dismayed considering I’m...

Does that Outfit build ...

What the hell is a Doodlebop? Is it some new scheme of mind-altering drug ruining our youth? Does it form you dress in painfully-colored clothing and frolic like it’s Pride Parade Day in San Francisco? Why do I keep hearing about how “huge Doodlebops are” when...
