I don’t know about you, but I built up a lot of unrequited Vegas energy during the pandemic. I also saved a lot of money by not paying for plane fares, hotel rooms, restaurant meals, shows tickets, drink tabs, Raiders seats, and gambling during the 2-1/2 years that COVID kept me away from the Promised […]

Bobby Vegas’ Vegas
[Editor’s Note: This post is written by Bobby Vegas, who’s proud to call himself a “scuffler,” someone who uses every advantage in casino gambling: trip planning with airline points, promotions, MRB and other coupons to improve his edge, discover new venues, lower food costs, get discount or free rooms, etc. Over 60 trips to Vegas […]
Landing Tickets to Raiders’ Home Games: T...
[Editor’s Note: As a follow-up to Dapper Dave Kamsler’s previous post about the Raiders game-day experience (or maybe as more of a prequel to that post), we asked Dave to provide some advice on how to score Raiders tickets in the first place.] The easiest — and also hardest — way to get tickets is […]
A Trip to Las Vegas for Raiders Game Day
[Editor’s Note: This post is written by Dapper Dave Kamsler, a Las Vegas and football aficionado extraordinaire.] One of my favorite times of year to come to Vegas has always been during football season. Coming from the East Coast, it’s so much fun to roll out of bed on Sunday mornings and have games start […]

Mike was in Las Vegas on Resorts World’s opening day and submitted this trip report.] I first knew that 2021 technology would set Resorts World apart from the competition as I descended […]
Resorts World — Famous Foods Street Eats
One of these days, perhaps, we’ll try the $35 lobster roll at Marigold with a $130 bottle of wine, wearing of course our $450 sneakers and $150 T-shirt from the Sneaker Garden shop on the second floor. But of the myriad dining options at Resorts World, we were — being who we are — most […]
Resorts World — Tech Rules
A lot is being made about how Resorts World is ushering Las Vegas and the casino industry into the Digital Age. It publicizes itself as “the Strip’s most technologically advanced property.” And it is a departure from any Las Vegas casino, as you’d expect, given the more than 10 years since the last one debuted […]
Preview — and Take a Virtual Ride in — Las Vega...
A friend of LVA participated in the first full test with passengers of the Las Vegas Loop last week and shared with us some of the system’s salient points for us to share with you. Of the 62 Teslas, most are Model 3s and Ys (driver, plus three passengers), some are Xs (four passengers), but […]
