April 2, 2009 General Post Leave a comment

The Excalibur Hotel Casino in Las Vegas is offering a new twist on the All You Can Eat Buffet. How about: “All You Can Eat All Day Long For $~~25.00~~ $29.00.” (the price was raised to $29.00 in October)

Pay $~~25.00~~ $29.00 and eat at the All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet, where “you can eat all-day long, as many times as you like!” “You also get VIP entrance privileges, so you don’t have to wait in line.”

This is an older post (By Liz Benston) from The LasVegasSun.com:
“Deals hit the buffet line: Eat all day for $25”
“The economic slump has Las Vegas casinos blitzing the Internet with offers that include free rooms, half-price show tickets and airplane vouchers for future trips.”

“The Excalibur is filling a new niche, so to speak, for the gluttonous crowd.”

“The budget property is offering unlimited, all-day access to its buffet for $25. One can only imagine how much damage can be done to a roast or pasta platter in 24 hours.” read more + comments from The LasVegasSun.com…

“Kato Kaelin: From house guest to wedding guest”

March 29, 2009 General Post Leave a comment

The following story was originally published March 26, 2009:
“Kato Kaelin: From house guest to wedding guest” – LasVegasSun.com story By Melissa Arseniuk · March 26, 2009.

“America’s most notorious houseguest, Kato Kaelin, is about to make his Vegas debut as Sin City’s most notorious wedding guest.”

“Kaelin will assume the role of a “celebrity wedding crasher” in Planet Hollywood’s off-Broadway show, “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” for two weeks. His first performance will be tomorrow [March 27] night and the actor will reprise the role through April 9.”

“Kaelin will arrive in Las Vegas this afternoon [March 26] and will be attending the celebrity-studded classic rock showcase at the Hilton, Monster Circus, this evening.”

“The 50-year-old actor sprung into the spotlight in 1994 during the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Once a struggling actor, Kaelin had been staying in Simpson’s guesthouse on the night the NFL All-Star’s ex-wife and lover were allegedly murdered. Kaelin served as a witness during both of Simpson’s trials and his inconsistent testimony and foggy memory led prosecutor Marcia Clark to call him a hostile witness.”

“Las Vegas Goes Dark for Earth Hour”

March 27, 2009 General Post Leave a comment

“Las Vegas Goes Dark for Earth Hour,” By Sherry Swensk • March 26th, 2009 • 8:19 am – LasVegasNow.com.

“The lights of the Las Vegas strip will go dark this Saturday night, promoting a new show called, “Concern for Climate Change.” “It’s not really a show, but a showing of support for a growing cause. Nearly all of the strip and off-strip hotel casinos will be turning out the lights on marquees and non-essential exterior lighting between 8:30 and 9:30 P.M. Saturday night, March 28th for Earth Hour.”
“From Landmarks like the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign… to Fremont Street, where the big canopy will go dark and glow necklaces will be handed out to 5,000 guests! (Can you imagine 5,000 people groping around in the dark with those super tall specialty drink glasses? That could put someone’s eye out! Just kidding.) Las Vegas will be among 2500 cities worldwide helping to shed light on climate change.” read more from LasVegasNow.com…

MultiStrikePoker

I first played Multi-Strike Poker a few years back in Las Vegas.

The Stardust offered the video game for: $.01, $.05 and $.25. I also played at Arizona Charlie’s, Texas Station and Silverton.

Multi-Strike Poker is a multi [four] level Video Poker game that starts the first level payoff at 1X win, then progresses (if you win the hand) to 2X, then 4X and 8X. It offers an occasional “Free Ride” and other bonus features. Bets can be wagered on 1 to 4 hands / 1 to 5 credits per hand – 20 max. The “real machines” accept – up to a 96 coin wager. Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker Games, Joker Poker, White Hot Aces, Super Aces, Deuces Wild and Deuces Wild Bonus Games (all video) are among the games that are offered online…

This online game is authentic, and exactly like the real thing, including the audio.
You can find “live” machines in most Las Vegas casinos as well as at the Riviera in Black Hawk, CO…

Multi-Strike Poker online is played for credits – no monetary exchange is involved.

Rising FULL MOON Will Be 100% Full On February 9, 2009 (The Full Snow Moon)

February 8, 2009 William Carbone

Watch for the FULL MOON on February 9, 2009 at 6:49 A.M. Las Vegas time.

“Historically the Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to the recurring full Moons. Each full Moon name was applied to the entire month in which it occurred. These names, and some variations, were used by the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior” read more from the Farmer’s Almanac…

TEMPEST STORM – Still Stripping After All These Years.

January 16, 2009 William Carbone

In the 50s my cousin Bobby and I (in our 10s) were major fans of the exotic dancer Tempest Storm. Her photo was often in the local paper advertising her act. We were afficionados of the ecdysiast. Tempest Storm and the late Betty Page were among the favorite, famous, fantasy figures of male adolecence. Maybe even ahead of Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox,) albeit a different fantasy altogether.
Tempest Storm was a 50s – 60s Striptease Artist who worked for a time at Denver’s Tropics Nightclub, as well as many other venues around the world. In her 80s now, she is still stripping after all these years, in Las Vegas.
