Tiny Elvis gets three Kings on the Strip!

Posted on September 15, 2014 by Steve

Strengthening my case for why Las Vegas’ nickname should be East East Los Angeles, you can find these people in costumes along the Strip just as I’ve heard LA has in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater. I couldn’t resist this request. … Continue reading →

Come to Caesar’s Palace, see Rod poop his pants!

Posted on September 11, 2014 by Steve

Besides Diana Ross coming here, yet another concert only my mother would want to attend. Over 20 years ago, I recall my her complaining to me about the experience of seeing him live. As soon as he hit the stage, everybody stood … Continue reading →

Belated greetings from Las Vegas XI or ’14B

Posted on September 11, 2014 by Steve

Thanks to the server taking a dump yesterday afternoon despite my ongoing hypothesis it was the Web processes (hence, why I would remotely log in and just restart that part), something else is at work. Note to self, move this … Continue reading →

It ain’t over until the Fat Elvis sings

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Steve

Appearing daily at one of the less attractive casinos. Hoser said Harrah’s but I could’ve sworn it was the Flamingo. Mock him as we may yet I’m sure he laughs all the way to the bank.

Back from Vegas ’14: There and back again…

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Steve

I’m ripping off part one of The Hobbit for this title because I plan to be in Las Vegas again  in the Fall with my wife. As much as I love hanging with my friends, I can’t complete a true Vegas Hat Trick … Continue reading →

Las Vegas ’14A; the college buddy trip is go

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Steve

What began as a blurb in my Christmas card from Hoser finally became a full-blown plan. A mini-Marquette reunion. It’s more like a Hoserpalooza due to this being more his circle of friends, I represent the Marquette element. This isn’t … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Six, Popovich’s animal circus

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Steve

Monday took the slow approach as the centerpiece to our day was mid-afternoon at PH. We arrived relatively early, went our own separate ways for an hour to kill time; I wanted to leave my card with the nice person … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Five, the NFL should play more on Thursday!

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Steve

The day kicked off with a retro NFL game, the Bears of the Seventies I grew up with made an appearance against the Lions. Well, this was a proxy bet for the Silders’ oldest kid TJ so the bookie will … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Four, victory is mine!

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Steve

The half-way point of our vacation and we wisely beat the crowd for breakfast at Paris, a tradition we forgot to undertake last year. I will never deny that the Outfit was a bunch of criminals responsible for numerous, vicious … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Three, we upgraded (again)!

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Steve

One mixed-bag element of timeshare ownership is the meeting during every visit. On the downside there’s the half day eaten up by a presentation, conversation, etc. To compensate, you get tickets to shows and fed. Surprisingly I have enjoyed the majority … Continue reading →

Bond villain or one of the Shruggalo Pauls?

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Steve

I wish it were the bad guy from Sean Connery’s first Bond movie since he is less annoying than blowhard father and son team of Ron and Rand (Nevada doesn’t have income tax, super lax gun laws and a Teabagger … Continue reading →

One of the feral cats at our timeshare

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Steve

Hidden around the parking garage of our timeshare is a small feral colony. Most can be spotted near the spare/broken furniture the maintenance people keep locked up. I was told the manager feeds them (around six to seven) and they … Continue reading →

Vegas 2013: Day Two, Thursday Night Football!

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Steve

Our first real, full day here. With the site-wide Wi-Fi, things are a lot easier. I couldn’t resist on not checking my work stuff. Holy buckets, over 100 e-mails already in 36 hours. My favorite was from the boss (Eddie … Continue reading →
