A few notes from the Las Vegas Advisor:
Harrah's purchased Planet Hollywood, and the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) approved it. A personal request to the powers that be at Harrah's: please don't screw it up! I have an impending sense of boredom already and you haven't even turned it into a ho-hum property yet.
McCarran Airport may be applying for a liquor license to help increase revenue for its owner, the Clark County Commission. It would be the only airport in the US with a liquor store. My thoughts: Liquor? By the baggage claim? It would help when you have to wait for your bag, which is always the last one on that rotating carousel of lost souls. Actually, the liquor would be for "offsite" consumption only. Still, this is a great idea!
Other news:
Kindle is going berry. Blackberry, that is. Probably feeling pressure from the iPad, Kindle now has a free app for the Blackberry. This is a smart move for them, and good news for those of us who publish on Kindle (think of the increased distribution!).
I hope a lot of people take advantage of this free app - it's the perfect fit for travelers who need information at their fingertips. Let's say you're at the Strat playing $5 Blackjack and you want to know what time the next Bellagio fountain show starts. Simply look it up on Simplifying Las Vegas. Then, look up the phone number to Olive's and call them for a reservation for a yummy dinner after you watch the fountains. All on your Blackberry.
Think about it the next time you... Go to Vegas. It's that Simple.
Viva,
Mike
