In my last blog, I pretty much threw the entire team under the bus. I did mention that there was no miracle phone call that GM McPhee could make at the trade deadline or no magical line combinations that Coach Gallant could come up with that would save whatever is possibly left of this current […]
Living Local — Stripwalker
One resolution I made this year (and I don’t make many) is to take a night stroll, every month or so, down the Las Vegas Strip. For world-class walking, the Strip is hard to beat. It’s laid out on (pretty much) a straight line. The visuals, discoveries, and choices for spending time choices are limitless […]
The Magic of Jen Kramer
[Editor’s Note: This review appeared in the January Las Vegas Advisor. We liked the show so much (and thought it was such a fine review!) that we’re posting it here for everyone to see.] Jen Kramer graduated from Yale University in 2014, which makes her around 26 or 27. So not only is she a […]
Knights on Ice —The Post That’s Been Sitting on...
I knew I’d be writing this post. It had to be written. But what took me so long to write it is still beyond belief. Last night’s embarrassing loss to Winnipeg by a score of 6-3 brought this piece to life. By all rights, it should have been written at some point during the Vegas […]
Knights on Ice — One Valuable Point Left Behind
With just 20 games left before the real season begins, will this one point that Vegas left on the ice last night at T-Mobile in their 3-2 shootout loss be a concern? I would love to say it will, but by the looks of things, the VGK will be opening the playoffs on the road […]
Knights on Ice — Is This Season a Version of th...
Who doesn’t like a roller coaster? No matter your age, it’s just about everyone’s highlight of the day at an amusement park. Unless you’re a VGK fan, you’re driven completely bonkers with the Space Mountain-type of a rollercoaster that this team seems to be on more often than they should this season. You see, Space […]
Living Local — Five Print Sources of Vegas Ente...
Years ago when Norma Foote and I wrote the book Arts America, we said that art lovers must overcome three obstacles to attend an entertainment or sporting event. One, they have to know about the event; two, they should decide if there is any prior information they need to enjoy the event (rules of the […]
Knights on Ice—Finally, a Big Win
[Editor’s Note: Joe Pane is unavailable to post his blog this morning, so this is a brief recap of last night’s game.] Last nights’ game was a shot fest for the Golden Knights, who registered 50 shots on goal in their 5-1 win against the Nashville Predators. Of the game’s 18 VGK skaters, so many […]
Millenial Exodus?
What’s up, California? 63% of your state’s millenials say they are considering leaving the Golden State. Could it be because they can buy a typical $630,000 LA home for $300,000 in Las Vegas? These numbers represent the median home prices for Los Angeles and Las Vegas today. The answer is – pretty much so. Many millennials in California feel […]
Knights on Ice — A “Road Loss” for the VGK
This seemed to be a road game for the VGK, as there were plenty of fans in blue-and-white Toronto sweaters making their voices heard throughout the night. And those fans had a lot to be happy about, as the VGK went down to their fifth loss in a row, a team record, by a score of […]
