The Lighter Side of Vegas

Hi all,

There's been a lot of seriousness in the news lately, and I would like to take a break from all that. After all, Vegas is really about having fun. Here are two items that I thought you might enjoy this week:

My friend John Wilson (http://www.whereisjohnwilson.com/) sent me this tidbit, which pokes fun at VP Biden's recent comments about crowded places. If you're in Vegas, more than likely you're dealing with crowds.

So it was a good idea for the ad campaign, which will alleviate some concerns and have fun at the same time. Vegas advertisers are really top-notch in my opinion, and the whole www.visitlasvegas.com site is highly entertaining (check out their interactive maps of the city - bar none the coolest web maps I've ever seen!)

The other item is brought to you by the Las Vegas Advisor. They currently have a poll for the worst hotel/casino website. Not to influence your vote, but I picked www.Nightlifestation.com.

Now, I've been trying to be a more positive person. You know, "live and let live," and "if you can't say anything nice about anyone, don't say nothin' at all," that type of stuff. And in general I feel like I've been doing a good job of that. Basically, I don't like to bring no hate on nobody.

Now, all that being said, this Nightlifestation site sure confuses me. Oh boy is this goofy. What exactly is this? Why is there a "person" with a boom box for a head? Why do the ladies seem to love him so much? I know I'm getting old, and I'm not as cool as I used to be, but then again I don't think there is an age gap with this site. If someone can explain it to me....

Maybe I can report back on this hotel/casino the next time I... Go to Vegas. It's that simple.

Viva,
Mike
