The VGK embarked on their first road trip of the season to face off against the Arizona Coyotes, whom they just played and beat twice at T-Mobile. The venue changed and so did the outcome as the Coyotes avenged their back-to-back losses earlier this week by defeating the VGK by a final score of 5-2. […]
Knights on Ice — Who Would Have Thought?
Who would have thought that the VGK would start the season with Marc-Andre Fleury still on the team? Who would have thought they would set a franchise record with 4 straight wins to open the season? Who would have thought that they’d be the only team in the entire NHL that remains undefeated that has […]
Vegas Golden Knights — Vegas Starts the S...
Yes, the VGK beat the Arizona Coyotes last night by a score of 4-2 for their 3rd straight win to open the season, but there are issues with this team. Those will be exposed by a formidable opponent if they continue to refuse to play 60 minutes and go long stretches without even registering a […]
Knights on Ice — It’s Good to See The Flower Sm...
It’s been awhile since Marc-André Fleury, a.k.a. The Flower, has smiled while wearing a VGK jersey. But yesterday his smile was a welcome sight to all who watched from their couches, as T-Mobile remains empty except for a few lucky media people who get to watch the game live. It was very strange for me […]
Vegas Golden Knights — Somewhat Unconventional ...
Last night at T-Mobile, the VGK returned to the ice for the first time in 123 days to face the Anaheim Ducks, who haven’t played in 310 days. What could we expect, especially considering that there were no exhibition games played and it was a truncated training camp for the teams to work on their […]
Since You Asked — Two Worthwhile, but Little-Kn...
In this installment, I write about a couple of miscellaneous non-Strip activities that are fun, but maybe not big enough to warrant their own blog. The Nevada State Railway Museum in Boulder City is a branch of the Nevada State Museum. It’s about a half-hour drive from the Strip, about 15 minutes short of Hoover […]
Conrad’s Capers — Conrad Does Cabo Part 4
In the first three installments of this series, we followed Conrad Stanley from the Cross Border Express terminal in Tijuana down to Cabo San Lucas, where he spent 14 days on vacation just before Christmas. In this post, we follow him home, with a surprise twist at the end. When the trip was up, Conrad […]
Conrad’s Capers — Conrad Does Cabo Part 3
In the previous post in this series, we mentioned the discount card called the Los Cabos Passport Card. Here, we go into the details. The Passport Card comes out twice a year, on January 1 and July 1, and each is good for a year. It costs $80 and provides 2-for-1s or 50% off at […]
Conrad’s Capers — Conrad Does Cabo Part 2
In the first installment of this series, Conrad Stanley, bargain traveler extraordinaire, saved $560 and hours in line by taking advantage of the Cross Border Express terminal at Tijuana International Airport. In Part 2 of Conrad Does Cabo, we join him as he does what he does best: optimize cost-saving opportunities at an otherwise expensive […]
Since You Asked—The Price Is Right
I’m a huge fan of “The Price Is Right.” In fact, I’ve traveled to California several times to try to get on the show. I got to see both Bob Barker and Drew Carey, but alas, I’ve never been picked to come on down. If you don’t want to go to California, or if you’re […]
