LAS VEGAS NEWS – of interest to tourists:

Hello from a rainy Las Vegas! We salute those of you on the east coast, where you have been working very hard to beat our high temperatures the past few days (and you have when factoring in the heat index). We truly wish a cooling trend on you. When you need the dry heat, you know where to come.

FREE CIGARS AND FOOD – The Havana Cigar Co. celebrates the grand opening of it’s store in the Tropicana Hotel on Saturday July 10, 1999 from 5-7:00 PM. Complimentary hors d’ oeuvres, beverages, and cigars will be available. This event is open to the public!

NBA AND NHL IN LAS VEGAS? – Ha, ha, ha … Mirage Resorts CEO Steve Wynn wants to buy a team and bring it to town to. That is, provided that the taxpayers build a new arena for it downtown. The idea is to promote vacation packages for sports fans to come see their team. Las Vegas is the 56’th largest media market in the country and already has 3 arenas: Thomas and Mack Center, MGM Grand Garden, and Mandalay Bay events center. However, Mr. Wynn nor his company controls any of them. City Hall is another story …..

NEW YEARS EVE ROOMS – are going quick and aren’t cheap. Prices range from around $250 a night at Boulder Station to $450 a night at the Riviera and $3000 a night at Caesars.

SPEEDERS REJOICE! – If you drive to Las Vegas, the last meeting of the legislature did you a favor. You already know that the quickest way to get rear-ended or run over on Nevada freeways is to go the speed limit. No one else does. However, now you can breathe much easier and look in your rear view mirror a lot less starting last week. A brand new law took effect allowing you to go up to 10 miles over the speed limit (but not exceeding 75 m.p.h.) on freeways and receive a slap-on-the-wrist fine of $25 with no insurance reporting.

MAKINO TODAI RESTAURANT – advertised as a 160 foot royal Japanese seafood buffet just opened at 3965 S. Decatur, #5 (Decatur near Flamingo). Lunch is around $12 and dinner around $20. 40 kinds of sushi, fresh oysters, tons more. We aren’t much for Japanese food, but if you go feel free to submit a review (allvegastv@aol.com) so that we can let everyone else know if this is worth the 10 minute drive from the Strip.

RISE AND FALL OF BINION’S – This obituary is premature, but there is no question that the new ownership of Binion’s Horseshoe downtown have instituted cost cutting measures drastically reducing the tradition and allure of this downtown landmark. The days of comp meals for $5-10 blackjack players are a thing of the past, if you want your photo taken with the million dollars you had better bring your own camera, and top table limits have been instituted for the first time in the casino’s history. One wonders how long the $3.00 steak special (referenced in our last issue at last issue will last.

Since the opening of the infamous gambling joint, founder Benny Binion had let you establish your top betting limit with your first bet, no matter how big. Million dollar bets have been made, won, and lost there. For those who long for the “good old days”, the Review-Journal has a great historical piece on Benny at http://www.1st100.com/part2/binion.html

LAS VEGAS NEWS – of interest to tourists:

SASSY SALLY’S FINED – According the Review Journal, the Nevada
Gaming Control Board issued allegations of tip hustling and jackpot
guarantees against Sassy Sally’s and the Coin Castle casinos downtown.
To those who have ever been hustled in the door and harassed to play
machines (not to mention having tips demanded by change people when
you hit even a small jackpot), this comes as pleasant news. Owner
Herb Pastor is facing a maximum fine of $1.5 million dollars for this
long-time practice. This ruling is very welcome by those whose
otherwise enjoyable downtown experience was tainted by the unethical
practices of these 2 casinos. The full story is available at:

This Issue:Megabucks Hits! plus piles of current Las Vegas information

MEGABUCKS – Well, someone else is a instant millionaire, and it’s not you or I. Tuesday night, a 49 year old man from Illinois hit for $21,351,116.56 at Caesars. He stuck $10 in the machine and hit on the first pull. In fact, when they showed it on TV, you could see that he still had 7 credits left (like he cares about those now)! He’s single with no kids and just quit his job due to health problems. He will have little income concerns for a while, collecting $853,878.08 every year for the next 25 years. He’s living proof that it never hurts to stick a couple bucks in and try your luck.Interestingly enough, a tourist from Hawaii hit for $4.5 million on a quarter Jeopardy game just a few days earlier at the Mirage.MOB LAWYER FOR MAYOR – Oscar Goodman is now the shoo-in for mayor next Tuesday. He has ran on populist themes, none of which he has presented a plan to institute. In addition, our weak mayor system gives the mayor little power outside of the bully pulpit. On the other side, the publicity and outspoken leadership qualities generally seem to make him preferable to his opponent (whose name isn’t worth clogging your memory with unless you are a trivia buff).

LAS VEGAS AIRLINE UP AND FLYING! – National Airlines, an upstart headed by former management of America West (and having appeared to learn from that airline’s mistakes) has taken to the air. This Las Vegas based airline has partnered with investing hotels Harrah’s and The Rio to offer truly unique service. Quoting from their website: “If you happen to be staying at either Harrah’s or the Rio, just let us know when you check in for your flight to Las Vegas and we will send your bags directly to the hotel. Just get off the plane and head for the fun!” Plus, if staying at either you can check in right at the hotel. Hey, I don’t mind if you skip baggage claim … gives me more elbow room when I have to fly back home here!

National is serving Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York with planned service to 15 more cities over time. They are looking strongly at Miami, as it is under served both in general and for flights to Las Vegas. National Airlines website is at http://www.nationalairlines.com

COMDEX – Believe it or not, hotel rooms are already starting to fill up for Comdex. If you or your company are thinking about coming, do your boss a favor and pass our http://www.accessvegas.com web address along to the person making the travel plans for Comdex or any other convention anywhere in the country. Your boss will appreciate the money you save and you’ll appreciate not staying in some overpriced dive. During Comdex, it is common for fleabag motels on the wrong side of Fremont St. downtown (you know, the ones that are generally overpriced at $99 a week) to charge a non-refundable $100 a night during Comdex. You can also secure your rental cars early and save through http://www.accessvegas.com

SUMMER IS HERE – With the temperatures generally climbing (Memorial Day weekend saw highs close to 100 and lows in the mid-60’s), we can’t stress enough the importance of drinking plenty of water while out there. Because of the very low humidity, you perspire greatly but don’t realize it because it evaporates off of your body immediately. Drinking booze dehydrates you further. Either way, we suggest stopping by the hotel bars on a regular basis and grabbing a bottled water. Your body will thank you, your stamina will by higher, and you’ll enjoy your vacation a lot more. For those of you that live in Las Vegas, or stay for extended periods of time, you may with to check out Water and Ice at
http://www.waterandicelv.com Unlike those unregulated machines that bake in the sun, Water and Ice is a Grade A, regulated establishment.

PRIME TIME LAS VEGAS TV SHOW – The UPN Network (also seen on most cable systems on WGN out of Chicago) has bought 13 weeks of a new TV show called “The Strip”. It will shoot in Las Vegas, and the basic premise will be 2 ex-Metro police officers working as security for the Tropicana hotel and solving crimes, etc. Seems like they had a similar series like that here once …. something with the word VEGA$ in the name …. We wish the new series well and hope it give you all a great weekly shot of your favorite vacation destination.

HARD ROCK HOTEL EXPANSION – The Hard Rock has completed their $100 million expansion, featuring 330 rooms, a new pool area, nightclub, and much more. A full report is coming soon, but in the meantime they need to fill those rooms and get the word out and are offering rates as low as $65.95 a night. Stop by
http://www.accessvegas.com/rooms/las-vegas-hotel-reservations-strip-area.htm , click on the Hard Rock’s link, and you can do a free price and availability search. If you have thought about staying at the Hard Rock, don’t pass up this opportunity!

NEW AIRPORT – One of these days, those baggage tags might not say LAS on them when you fly in. The quiet push is on to acquire land just south of Jean (about 30 miles south of town) to build a second airport for the area. Even at slow growth estimates, McCarran will be maxed out by 2014. The plan is to move on the new airport in the next few years, moving all cargo and some charter service down to it. The only real objection is from environmentalists worried that the jet noise over the barren desert will have negative consequences. Like it’s better to have more jet noise over the city instead?

SAMS TOWN – Sam’s Town is going to dump $78 million into renovation and expansion soon, adding movie theatres, more gaming space, and a new buffet. This is an attempt to keep up with neighboring Boulder Station whom tends to draw a little more upscale crowd with the themed buffet, movies, and the like. Sam’s Town continues to offer 100x odds on craps and some of the looser slot machines in town. A personal fave: the $4.99 prime rib dinner in Mary’s Diner upstairs (served around the clock). You get salad, rolls, your choice of potato (baked, homemade mashed, or fries), and a good sized slice or prime rib.
