Living Local — How Bad Is Las Vegas Health Care...
Las Vegas medical services get a bad rap — and in this case, it’s somewhat deserved. According to Numbeo, Las Vegas ranks dead last in their index of health care in 51 cities in North America, while US News and World Report ranks Nevada 42 out of 50 for health-care access. In preparing this post, […]
We’re Going to Need a Bigger Boat
My jaw just hit the floor. How is Wednesday’s discovery of a huge breach of sensitive personal information not front page news today? I think we’re all becoming desensitized when it comes to a new data breach – seems like a major corporation is spilling our candy all over the lobby every day. This isn’t […]
Knights on Ice — 47 Saves on 48 Shots, and 20 S...
Juuse Saroys is currently the backup goaltender for the Nashville Predators, but you’d never know it watching him play against the VGK. Last night he saved the game for Nashville and was the best goaltender on the ice at T-Mobile. It’s a cold day in Las Vegas when your game storyline is about a goaltender […]
Knights on Ice — The Wild Leave Vegas with 2 Po...
Last night was a tough night to be a VGK player and fan, but it was even tougher to be Brad Hunt, who left Las Vegas with the Minnesota Wild on their plane following the Wild’s 4-2 win at T-Mobile. Brad Hunt had been with Vegas from day one. He played in 58 games as […]
Living Local — The Best Freebie in Las Vegas!
Grandmother Dora Harrington, my only grandparent who lived long enough to be a major influence in my life, asked me once: “How would you like to visit a place where you can get everything you ever wanted for free? Go clean out a closet!” Now I’m going to ask a similar question. “Where can you […]
Knights on Ice — The Feel of a Heavyweight Figh...
Yes, last night’s game had the feel of a heavyweight fight, with punches and counter punches exchanged between the VGK and Fleury’s old team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. There were multiple lead changes, a comeback for the Penguins after they were nearly TKO/counted out at the buzzer that ended the first period trailing 3-1, even a […]
Living Local — Is Las Vegas Unsafe?
Ever since I first moved here in 1994 and especially after I started this blog, I’ve been asked the question, “Is Las Vegas a safe place to live?” My answer is, “I am not concerned about crime – any more than when I lived in Cleveland (where I was mugged once) or New York (and […]
Knights on Ice — Power Outage in Winnipeg
Last night in Winnipeg, the Vegas Golden Knights encountered the Winnipeg Jets, the first game back in Winnipeg for the VGK since they captured the Western Conference Championship on May 20, 2018, by a score of 2-1 on a Ryan Reaves’ goal. Revo’s goal eliminated Winnipeg from the remainder of the playoffs and sent Vegas to the […]
Knights on Ice — Another Proof of the 0-2 Theor...
Those who’ve been following my coverage of the VGK over the last two seasons know about my 0-2 Theory. For new followers, the Theory is this: The next team to score in an 0-2 game will win. Last night, the Theory held true as the VGK beat the Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 4-3 […]
