Writing today

… on mostly non-S&G projects, so blogorrhea is at a minimum, alas. We’re also trying to work out the kinks in our system that would enable us to get that week-old Atlantic City piece out of the right-hand box without having to delete it altogether, among other technical grumbles.

However, I do think there is a serious new contender for the Best Bloody Mary in Vegas, although in this case it would be the “Bloody Harry” at Nove. It’s served with a Slim Jim, a piece of bacon and a vegetable (no olive, unfortunately). In fact, the bacon on the Nove brunch table is some of the meatiest to be had in town and the restaurant puts out a buffet spread that manages to be diverse and creative without becoming overwhelming (although, in truth, we did overeat just a bit).

The excellence of the food could not be spoiled even by a sextet of douchebags at the next table. One of them had clearly seen way too many episodes of Burn Notice, judging by his attire. Downstairs, some dude was wandering back and forth carrying a skateboard. Seriously, who brings a skateboard into a casino — and what would you do with it there?

The “Question of the Day” hopper is filling up. Look for one soon on the most recent “Trailer Station” as well as one that’s going to require me to grill every major hotel company in town about their anti-bedbug procedures. They’re gonna love me when I ring ’em up with that query.
