In my post last week, I discussed switching hotels for fun and practical reasons. Click on the link if you haven’t read it. In this week’s post, I offer up some tips on how to minimize the logistical hassles of moving from one hotel to another at least once and up to several times during […]

Since You Asked — Hotel Hopping
Every Vegas-goer is at different stages in their Vegas “careers.” I’m 49 years old and semi-retired, so a Vegas trip now is different for me than it was 20 years ago or even 10. I love the sun, the pools, and the warm weather. That always used to be part of the appeal of Las […]
Since You Asked—Madame Tussaud and Her Wax Cele...
Have you ever dreamed of meeting a celebrity in Vegas? Well, you can! I once saw Patrick Ewing playing blackjack at Bellagio. He played mostly good basic strategy, except he split 4s on one hand. That’s part of the reason he was losing stacks of $10,000 chips. If you haven’t met anyone famous in the […]
Since You Asked — A Good Time at Circus Circus
You can actually have a good time at Circus Circus. Pause … “No, Dave! The pandemic must be getting to you. You’ve been away from Vegas too long and you’re desperate.” Maybe, but you can actually have a good time at Circus Circus! I know, CC is cheesy, it’s not fancy, and it’s on a desolate […]
Since You Asked —Taking Photographs
After making more than 50 trips to Las Vegas, which add up to more than a year of my life spent there, I’ve ventured far off the beaten path. In this post, I’d like to offer some tips on some of the best places in the Valley to take great photographs. It may seem obvious and […]
Since You Asked — The Rat Pack Is Back
Usually, when a show bounces around from venue to venue, it’s a bad sign. It can mean that attendance is insufficient, or the casino isn’t promoting it well, or the space doesn’t work for the show. None of these reasons is usually overcome by moving to another venue — if the show actually does move. […]
Since You Asked — Wings Over Vegas
I’m a wings aficionado. It’s my favorite food by far. I once flew from New York City to Buffalo and back in one day, just to go to the Anchor Bar and have wings for lunch. Then I married a girl from Buffalo! Even before I did, I spent plenty of time there, so if you’re […]
Since You Asked — Hot-Air Balloons
Several different schools of thought come to mind on how to spend your precious time in Las Vegas. One camp says, “I’m on vacation. There’s no way in hell I’d ever set an alarm to get up early in Vegas.” Another camp thinks, “I’m on vacation. I want to do something new and different and […]
Since You Asked — Pinball Hall of Fame
Chances are you’ve heard of the Pinball Hall of Fame, but you might not know exactly what it is. A Hall of Fame for pinball? Is it the silver-ball version of Cooperstown? Not really. But it’s still pretty cool. The Pinball Hall of Fame, sometimes referred to as the Pinball Museum, isn’t really either in […]
Since You Asked — A Bachelor Party with a Twist
This post is the story of how my brother and my friends pulled off one of the all-time epic Vegas pranks. In May 2013, I was 42 years old and getting married. (Yes, it was a little later in life than most people — but she was worth the wait!) My brother, Stephen, and seven other […]
