Yr. Humble Blogger will be rising shotgun again on the next edition of The Strip Podcast<\/strong>. A sinus headache is enough to sop me cold, so props to Steve Friess<\/a> for soldiering on despite having one and a nasty cold to boot. IMO, it’s the best of three we’ve done, because we’re finally getting accustomed to each other’s particular rhythm. Regular co-host Miles<\/strong> returns next week and I can tell you he makes doing that show sound as easy as falling off a log, which is hardly the case.<\/p>\n

Also, Friess’ amount of preparation far exceeds what makes it onto the air. Topics we didn’t get to include a scoop on the future of Peepshow<\/em><\/a>, among other things, including the next wave of “Trailer Stations<\/strong>.” The latter didn’t make it into “Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week,” but there’s still time.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, if you hear I’ve eviscerated by a letter bomb, it’ll probably be because I dissed Danny Gans<\/strong> in the podcast and the notion that only Steve Wynn<\/strong> is (just barely) more deserving of “Walk of Fame” recognition. I guess it’s still too early to mess with the Legend of St. Danny, even though other people he preposterously outpolled are just as dead as he.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Friess<\/strong>, one of last week’s “Quote[s] of the Day” has grown legs<\/a>. It’s a lesson in why it’s not good to use verbiage whose meaning you don’t really grasp.<\/p>\n

What does<\/em> “Camp Vegas” mean?<\/strong> I dunno; it used to spell “Liberace<\/strong>” but that’s not what R&R Partners<\/strong> has in mind. Maybe something closer to “Don’t market to anyone over 30”? Or “Vegas: It’s not uncool”? You be the judge:

Instead of cutting its ad budget after this campaign has been crafted, maybe the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority<\/strong> should be asking R&R boss Billy Vassiliadis<\/strong> to return the money he got paid to put assemble these off-the-rack ads. I didn’t like the Palms<\/strong>‘ “Poker Face” spot when it was introduced but it was way more imaginative than “Camp Vegas.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
