A Whale of a Story
We gamblers and advantage players. We’re complicated. We’re smart, obsessive, and we make great stories. The greatest of all was Kerry Packer. I know it’s ironic: A coupon scuffler let’s-get-it-for-free guy like me is fascinated by the biggest whale of all time. Sure, it’s goofy, but the question remains, what can we learn from them? […]
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 […]
The Bat Goes Back to Purgatory
[Editor’s Note: The rock musical Bat out of Hell is closing after the show on Saturday night, New Year’s Eve. It opened in October and lasted barely 10 weeks. We saw it and loved it and we’re sad it didn’t have a longer run. We’re posting our review, written for the Las Vegas Advisor January […]
Mob History at El Cortez
El Cortez has joined forces with the Mob Museum to create the History Hallway at the oldest continuously operating casino in downtown Las Vegas. The back hallway between the casino and the coin-dropper machines near Seigel’s 1941 previously hosted a handful of historic photographs. Now, a number of new photos have been added, along with […]
The Good, the Bad, and WHAT Happened Against th...
Eddie and Joe have been away for a bit, so there’s a lot to catch up on in VGK land. Lots of good, a bit of bad, and what on Earth happened Wednesday night against the Rangers? Joe is his normal calm measured self, but Eddie is pretty wound and doesn’t hold back his disdain […]
Here Comes Hockey!
The Vegas Golden Knights start their 2022-2023 season next week and the daring duo of Joe Pane and Eddie Rivkin will be covering the highlights and low points in podcasts between now and April and, hopefully, beyond into the playoffs. In this season’s inaugural episode, the hockey guys wipe the dust off the microphones and […]
Are You Sick of It Yet?
I’m not entirely sure that you are sick of it yet, but make no bones about it, Chandler Stephenson is and he made that real clear in his post-game comments when he said, “I’m sick of it.” As if that wasn’t enough to make you understand that Chandler and the rest of the team are […]
“Enough Is Enough” Puts the VGK in ...
Since the beginning of this franchise, Jonathan Marchessault has been telling it like it is. It’s not often, post-game, players don’t offer the usual canned responses; they’re very careful how they answer questions, especially after a loss. Last night, not only Jonathan, one of the original Misfits, but also the new guy in the room […]
The Skinny on Paid Parking at Miracle Mile Shop...
[Editor’s Note: LVA correspondent Peter B. visited the Miracle Mile Shops on Tuesday for a first-hand account of the situation on Day One of paid parking as announced by Caesars Entertainment. Here’s his report.] There’s been a lot of excitement and confusion on social media about yesterday’s announcement already and they haven’t even started to […]
