Since the creation of modern day Las Vegas, there have always been people lamenting the good ole days, whatever that means to that individual at the time. Determining what is considered “good” is about as subjective as subjective can be. Most people today will point to the time before the strip was primarily owned by 2 companies, MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. While the benefits of consolidation are obvious, potentially...
I don’t know what I think about Oscar Goodman. I want to say I respect what he does and if I needed help, I hope my advocate is half the lawyer he is. At the same time what he’s done and who he’s defended troubles me, makes me uncomfortable, ethically even if I’m not sure it should. When Oscar speaks about his clients he does so very deliberately as if he’s making sure he doesn’t say something that would get him in trouble. He cl...
Siegfried & Roy, Masters of the Impossible, and in their time, as famously associated with Las Vegas as the Fountains of Bellagio are. This act of illusion and tigers captivated audiences and really complimented the family friendly entertainment spectaculars coining phrases like “Only in Vegas”. Let’s not forget, these are grownups going to see a magic show. But part of the interest was that disaster lurked around every co...
It’s fitting that he came up in lounges and has returned to them in the twilight of his career. That may sound like a slight, but it’s not meant to be. It’s a compliment. His lounge show is the only of its kind on the strip and that is because a lounge show couldn’t exist today with anyone other than Wayne Newton. When we lose him, we will lose that form of entertainment or at the very least the best incarnation of it.
As told by Tony and Rum.

It was said that people would rebuild their buildings to accommodate the biggest sign they could afford. That’s how important signage was, or how important it is. Las Vegas was the only town in the world whose skyline was made up of signs. So big, they were the first thing you’d see from a mile away. YESCO, Heath, Federal, Ad Art and SSI are just some of the names responsible for bringing those iconic signs to life and by doin...

The Sarno Block was actually a large brick formed of two half-ovals which could be stacked to make a modern latticework screen. It made the resort’s night façade glow evenly, smoothing over the chaos of dark and lit rooms behind it. (The strip)

What constitutes a Vegas resort? We have to go to the original, universally agreed to be the first resort on the strip, the El Rancho. Small casinos, nightclubs and motels existed on highway 91 before the El Rancho opened, but it was the combination of a hotel/motel and a casino on property that made it a Vegas resort. It’s with this template that we have created the definitive order for Las Vegas resorts and their evolution on...
