Hi Vegas fans,
By now, you've seen the new Simplifying Las Vegas website. Whew. Lots of work, and I still have to fix some minor details, and I want to update a little of this, a little of that. And then I'll tweak it some more.
That's the thing about a website. It's a living thing, constantly changing. But for now I'm taking a step back and enjoy it. For now.
And I'm happy to report that I'm ready to take my next trip to the Strip. Four days in September. Oh yeah, I'm already looking forward to it.
More later...
Viva,
Mike

Almost there with the new website
Hi Vegas fans,
The new website is almost complete. I have a few details to figure out, then I will bring it live, probably this weekend or Monday night. I'm very excited! It has a new, fresh look and some new features. And at the same time, I still have the familiar stuff that you know and love.
The site is a great place to explore, see/contribute great Vegas pictures, learn more about Vegas and gambling, and throw in your two cents about all things Vegas. And the site really complements the whole Simplifying idea, as expressed in my travel guides -- Vegas is about having fun on your terms, not someone else's. Don't just read forums that tell you which restaurants they like, which shows are good, etc.
Now I can tell you what I like. That's easy. But, more importantly, if you tell me what kinds of stuff you like to do, I can give you a list of items that you can choose from and then decide for yourself. In Vegas, there's always more than one of anything, and any guide book that points you in one direction is either uninformed, being paid to tell you what to do, or has not done the comprehensive research that I've done (and continue to do) for Simplifying. It's that simple.
People who have the knowledge of what's out there and then decide for themselves what they want to do always have a great time. If you strictly rely on some other source, you may be disappointed. And so the Simplifying site and travel guide present you with the best guidance of all - your options. The rest is up to you. Remember, no one can have fun for you.
Anyway, enough rambling! I will keep you updated on the site and my upcoming trip in September.

News n' Notes
Hi Vegas Fanatics,
A few quick notes. I can't stay long because I'm working hard on a new and improved website. So I guess that's the biggest news item I have this week! It's really coming along, and as long as I can figure out how to switch over my domain, it should be ready in about 2 weeks. I hope
I also wanted to mention that I have a new poll and have received a few votes. Be sure to check it out. Don't forget to leave a comment or email me if you want a chance to win a free t-shirt.
And, the Flickr group continues to grow. There are new pictures every day (over 4,000 of 'em), and there are 350 members!
Thanks for your continue support... I really enjoy writing about Vegas and building the site. Don't forget that you can purchase a copy of SLV either via PDF or download a copy to your Kindle.
Viva,
Mike
