Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:

Hello from Las Vegas! As many of you know, we are the leader in bringing you streaming video of the Las Vegas hotels, shows, and attractions. We feel that video helps you plan a better vacation, check out a show you’re not sure about seeing, and gives you that Vegas Vibe when you can’t come visit. Enjoy the new videos listed in this issue!

Desert Inn Implosion – The DI is coming down around 1:00 AM on November 17, 2004. This is one of the few remaining pieces of old Las Vegas standing on The Strip and it appears that this will be the last implosion for an extended period of time. If there is a way to beg, borrow, or steal to make it to town to see this one, do it.

While rumors of The Tropicana and Frontier implosions always swirl, we don’t see it happening anytime soon. Las Vegas is absorbing new rooms at The Venetian, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas before we know it. The new Trump Las Vegas is going up behind the Frontier, but sparing the hotel casino. Tropicana is the perennial implosion candidate, but it is questionable how much better a new resort could be on that property at this time. Of course, this is Las Vegas. Anything can happen!

Celine Dion – Talk is that she might be extending her very successful run at Ceasars Palace. This show continues to be one of the huge draws in Las Vegas, and has redefined the art of Headline Entertainment, paving the way for Elton John and others to do big, regular Las Vegas production concerts.

Celine Info and Links:

Lake Las Vegas – Many of you might have seen a recent article on this Southern Nevada oasis in your local paper. If not, you can click to read it here: Desert resort offers golf, gondolas and fly fishing. This really is a best kept secret in the desert, and only located about 30 minutes by freeway from The Strip. The hotels, casinos, and shops are beautiful and luxurious, surrounding a huge man-made lake.

Lake Las Vegas Resorts:

Bellagio Photos – We’ve added more photos to our Bellagio Photos Section

See the Grand Canyon in a Jet Helicopter! For years Maverick Helicopters has been providing a true VIP Helicopter experience of the Grand Canyon. We do things a little different than any other helicopter Company. We give you an adventure of a lifetime and not just another tour of the Grand Canyon. Las Vegas Strip tours plus Helicopter Weddings also available!

Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:

Hello from Las Vegas! After a couple of 110 degree days, it looks to be a great weekend with highs only around 100. (Hey … it really is a dry heat … beats Florida in the 90’s). Speaking of, our best wishes for our Florida readers to see minimal impact from the hurricanes headed your way.

New Mandalay Bay Photos – Check out the great new Mandalay Bay photos added to our gallery.

September Travel Tip – September (after Labor Day) is a great time to be in Las Vegas. A slow travel and convention month, the rates are surprisingly reasonable considering the perfect weather.

Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:

Hello from Las Vegas! We ran into Magician Steve Wyrick shooting new scenes for his magic show outside The Aladdin on Tuesday night. (Hint: It involves a yellow Hummer). If you were on The Strip and saw what looked like a movie shoot in front of The Aladdin, that was it. After years at The Sahara (where location hurt his visibility), he’s having a great run at The Aladdin.

Monorail Is Running! – The monorail’s first day in service has been greeted by stormy skies and rain, but it isn’t dampening the enthusiasm. Las Vegas has often been called “Disneyland for adults” and now we finally have our own monorail as well!

Finally, you can get up and down The Strip without sitting in traffic while the taxi meter climbs unmercifully. We’ll have a full report with photos and streaming video very soon. In the meantime, here are some links to all the info you need:

Hot Vegas Book – We strongly suggest picking up Vegas Confidential: Norm! Sin City’s Ace Insider 1,000 N@ked Truths, Hot Spots & Cool Stuff (Amazon link). Written by Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm! Clarke, this is the true insider’s guide.

Norm has been covering Las Vegas for a number of years, has all the inside scoops, funny stories, and is hands on in his coverage of Las Vegas. We know because we often see him at all the events we cover! He’s also an all-around great guy and Las Vegas is lucky to have him.
