On Friday before the team left for their first meeting of this season with the San Jose Sharks, Jonathan “Marchy” Marchessault said the rivalry between these 2 teams has cooled down. Not so fast, Jonathan. I know you haven’t seen the Sharks for 418 days, so maybe it has slipped your mind? But yesterday it […]
Valentine’s Day 2021
Even in the midst of a pandemic, Valentine’s Day holds a special place on sexy Las Vegas’ calendar. Romantic restaurant meals, couples hedonism at spas, and attractions for lovers are abundant, which is fortunate, given the strict capacity limits that don’t ease up until the day after (Feb. 15). But with this year’s holiday on […]

Aria In honor of the Year of the Ox, the main lobby to the Aria will be decorated with a 196-foot dragon hanging from the lobby’s ceiling and weaving its way around a money tree made […]
Knights on Ice — Odd Man Out
Last night Robin “Panda” Lehner was out of the lineup in the 2nd game of the 2-game series vs. Anaheim under some odd circumstances. As you know, in the goalie rotation, Panda has played all the odd-number games, while Fleury has played the even-number games. But that rotation was broken when Panda informed the team […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Sneaks By Anaheim, but Not...
The VGK sneaked by the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 after blowing a 3-goal lead in the 3rd period. But the celebration didn’t last long; immediately after the game, the team went into COVID protocol once again. It was almost like the team knew what was in store for them. They seemed to lose their focus in […]
Knights on Ice — I Stand Corrected: There...
After the VGK 5-2 victory on Friday against the same L.A. Kings, I wrote that there was no sign of rust among the players after a 9-day layoff. Because he never stepped on to the ice, I didn’t include Robin Lehner in that opinion. Well, yesterday, he was in the net, as the goaltending rotation […]
Knights on Ice — No Rust In Vegas
Las Vegas dry climate pretty much assures you that you will not see rust developing on anything. But one had to think that the VGK might show some signs thereof. The Knights hadn’t played in 9 days and were missing their top defensemen pairing in Pietrangelo and McNabb, which forced the insertion of 2 players […]
Big Game Parties – Las Vegas 2021

Most places are already sold out, meaning that they have already reached their 25% capacity limit, but here’s a round-up of places around the valley that are still taking reservations.

Knights on Ice — So Were They Lucky To Get a Po...
When St. Louis comes to Vegas, things get really weird, so weird that I’m not sure if Vegas was lucky to salvage one point last night, preventing it from being a 4-point divisional game, or they deserved better than they got. My first reaction when the buzzer sounded after 60 minutes with the score tied […]
Knights on Ice — A Wildflower Appears in ...
Very few things have the capability to grow in the desert and yesterday that appeared to hold true, as the VGK and Arizona Coyotes faced off in the final game of their 4-game series. Arizona especially wasn’t producing much of anything for the entire 60 minutes, launching only 16 shots that found their way toward […]
