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.

Viva,
Mike
