FTC asking government to crackdown on hotel resort fees.

Good luck finding thoughtful William Buckley prose on the LVA Free for All. He died in 2008 and I'm not sure he was a Vegas fanatic like the rest of us

Many years ago, DonDiego was the only one posting like that. It was original (to these fora*) and creative. DonDiego was still working the nine-to-five, betting on the NFL, and staying at the El Cortez. His posts weren't so rightish ... but it was a different world. His posts were, and remain, intelligent while humorous. And sincere.

A couple of years ago boilerman and a few others began to absorbed the style without the sincerity, intelligence, or humor.
