Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:
Hello from Las Vegas! Our winter hiatus is over, our hangover from New Year’s eve has subsided, everyone was safe and sound and Las Vegas enjoyed the biggest New Year’s ever!
Co’mon … did anybody think terrorist would be dumb enough to do something at midnight Pacific time when everyone in the known “centers of the universe” (New York, Washington DC, London, Atlanta … take your pick) were asleep? That wouldn’t have been getting much bang for the buck.
Celine Tickets Available! – Celine tickets get released and are snapped up quickly. If you have wanted to see her, click to check and see if your dates are available now. Want a preview? Check out our Celine Dion – A New Day multimedia: Photos | Video: Dial-Up or Broadband
| NASCAR Weekend – Las Vegas NASCAR Winston (ok, ok …) Nextel and Busch ticket packages including great seats and first-class hotels, plus our insider transportation tips to get you to the speedway quickly! Click for Las Vegas NASCAR Weekend DetailsSuper Bowl Parties – Many of the hotels throw lavish Super Bowl parties, and if you can’t make it to Houston, you need to be in Las Vegas on Feb. 1, 2004. Check out the growing list of Las Vegas Super Bowl Parties. | á |
Streaming Video Golf Lessons Part 5: Impact – We’ve teamed up with Revere Anthem Golf Club Director of Instruction Chris Eastman (in conjunction with ChefLive.com) and put together a series of eight streaming video golf tips.
Chris starts with fundamentals like aim and grip, and works through some of the finer points of the game. This week: Lesson 5 – Impact. Click To View All Streaming Lessons
Binion’s Closed, Sold, Set To Open – Binon’s was closed this past weekend due to numerous outstanding debts owed to everyone from the IRS to the union pension and welfare funds. Harrah’s has been interested in the property for quite some time and bought it almost immediately. The lights are back on and word is that the casino will open again as quickly as regulators and other legalities are taken care of.
A union strike of downtown hotels was averted in 2002 but many questioned whether the struggling Binion’s property could meet the new wage and benefit demands. Ultimately it appears they couldn’t.
To the uninitiated, it would seem that operating a casino is a no-brainer but with the growth of Indian Gaming and the Las Vegas Strip really becoming the focal point for those choosing a Las Vegas vacation, downtown casinos have been suffering for years.

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 Shows Video Previews
Las Vegas shows are hotter than ever, and with tourism booming again tickets are in high demand. Almost all shows are reserved seating, which means reserving in advance gets you better seats (or at least gets you seats to the most popular shows).
But which shows to see? A couple of photos and a paragraph often aren’t enough to help make an informed decision. But video is the answer!
By watching our free, online streaming show video previews, you can see excerpt from the show, learn more about it, and book now to get the best seats available!

Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:
Hello from Las Vegas! The snow in much of the US looks beautiful … especially from Las Vegas where it’s been 60-65 F all week! If you have ever visited in the summer and said “How do people live here” I have your answer: We never shovel snow or have an icy fender bender.
We are running late this week, so we’ll jump right in:
Cheap, Cheap, Cheap Rooms – National Finals Rodeo clears out on Dec. 15, leaving 10 days of pre-Christmas rock bottom room rates. You need an excuse to finish shopping early this year! Click to price Low Pre-Christmas Vegas Room Rates
Roy (Siegfried and Roy) Horn Update – We’ve been pelted with inquiries and frankly, there hasn’t been much word. Reports say that he may be home (out of the hospital) for Christmas, but that he is still in serious condition and not yet on solid food. He can write notes and is off the respirator. News is scarce to but we’ll let you know what we can.
NFR Tickets Available – Selected (many good and great) seats for National Finals Rodeo are available through our certified ticket broker. If you are coming to Las Vegas for the party, why not attend the actual event? National Finals Rodeo Premium Seating. As of press time, tickets are available starting at $45.00
Streaming Video Golf Lessons: Chipping – We’ve teamed up with Revere Anthem Golf Club Director of Instruction Chris Eastman (in conjunction with ChefLive.com) and put together a series of eight streaming video golf tips.

Las Vegas #1 For America West – America West has more non-stop flights to Las Vegas than to any other city (surpassing their home base of Phoenix). Check out America West Vacations for incredible travel deals from many cities. Because of code-share agreements, you might find a great deal even if you don’t live in an America West city!
David Brenner – is starting a one year run at the new Westin Casuarina. Click for Westin Casurina info/rates and Brenner show tickets.
Las Vegas Bowl – on Christmas Eve pits Oregon State vs. New Mexico. Tickets available by calling 702-895-3900. Premium seating is also available: Las Vegas Bowl Premium Seating. Can’t make it? 4:30 PM local start on ESPN.
Sports Betting Question – Yes, you can bet on a game while you are in town, then claim your winnings by mail at no additional cost (except certified postage fee). Ask at the sportsbook for details. Betting the bowl games: another great reason to visit Las Vegas for the next month!
Casino Construction News – The Bourbon Street Hotel has applied for an expansion including a 32 story hotel tower. An unrelated company intends to build a resort on the site of Wet and Wild (between The Sahara and Riviera). In Las Vegas, seeing will be believing.
Video Spotlight – We are always adding new streaming video to our All Vegas TV site, over 100 Las Vegas videos to date! This week, feature video is Rio Seafood Buffet. Check out a fun video preview: Dial-Up or Broadband

The price tag? $500,000. The cost to you? Absolutely zero! For the first time, the fireworks will include a three minute countdown so you know it’s just about time to scream, yell, kiss, jump up and down … and ring in the new year.
We are your New Year’s Eve experts. Other resources may devote a page or two with generic info. We are on The Strip year after year, enjoying it, gathering first-hand advice, and taking photos and video for you!

-

Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:
Hello from Las Vegas! We know you are stuffed with Turkey, saw plenty or football and/or are out shopping your brains out the day after Thanksgiving (US). We’ll keep this issue short but it is perhaps our most important issue of the year.
For another year we are proud to be involved in David Berman’s Shade Tree Las Vegas Calendars event. This is a win-win that I encourage each and every reader to take part in: You get a beautiful 2004 Las Vegas calendar at a wholesale price with all proceeds going to Shade Tree Shelter, a shelter for woman and children.
David Berman is a retired attorney who moved to Las Vegas a few years ago from New England and he donates 100% of his time and effort. We’ll skip news and feedback this week so we can focus on this worthy cause. You get to help Shade Tree while lighting up the homes of yourself, friends, and family with Las Vegas for the next year!
New Year’s Eve – Next week, our big New Year’s Eve Las Vegas preview, but if you are thinking of going, don’t wait! Rooms get more scarce and expensive as December rolls around. This year will be the biggest ever: 13 minutes of fireworks shot from numerous hotels running the entire four miles of the Las Vegas Strip.
We are the only company with a complete special site dedicated to our first-hand experience of Las Vegas New Year’s Eve every year. Hotel tips, party tips, general tips, massive photo gallery, streaming videos of past fireworks and revelers …
We help you get the best deal, know what to do, where to be and what to expect to maximize the biggest party of the year! Click To …

Las Vegas Calendars Shade Tree Shelter Benefit
We are pleased to announce David BermanÆs ninth annual sale of Las Vegas calendars, with all profits to benefit The Shade Tree, which provides shelter and support services to homeless and battered women and their children in the Las Vegas area. (Click Here to jump to the sample photos)
These are the same calendars sold in Las Vegas hotels and gift shops. Our buyers through the years, more than half of whom are repeat customers, know that they are an inexpensive and well-received holiday gift for friends and co-workers, as well as excellent stocking-stuffers for their loved ones.
Each year of the project has produced record sales and donations. Sales exceeded 2,000 calendars last year for the first time ever, with 349 customers purchasing 2,016 calendars and raising $3,735 for Shade Tree.
At the request of Shade Tree, this will be the third straight year that sale profits will be applied to the purchase of discount bus tokens, which allow clients of non-profit organizations to use the local bus system for only 40 cents per ride. This unfunded item is critical in enabling Shade Tree clients to travel to job interviews, medical appointments, counseling sessions and classes.
Calendar pricing is unchanged from last year:
Orders of one or two calendars: $5.00 per calendar.
Orders of three or more calendars: $4.50 U.S. per calendar.
Prices include shipping and Shade Tree donation.
If you are in the Las Vegas area as a visitor or resident, personal delivery or pickup is available for just $3.00 per calendar.
The above prices are for payments in U.S. funds for orders shipped to U.S. addresses. Foreign buyers should e-mail for price on orders shipped to their countries.
If you operate a business and would like to give these calendars to your clients as gifts, attractive pricing on bulk orders is available.
By popular demand, PayPal is now available as a payment option.
The Shade Tree portion of all purchases is tax-deductible, and each buyer will be advised of the amount of deduction that can be claimed.
For detailed ordering instructions, please e-mail David: davidinlv@cox.net
David uses a permission-based spam filter, so just indicate why you are writing if you are queried, and David will release your message to him.
Here is the link to an August Las Vegas Review-Journal story that describes Shade TreeÆs plans for enhancements to its three-year-old facility just north of downtown Las Vegas.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2003/Aug-25-Mon-2003/news/22003167.html
WeÆre also pleased to tell you that David and his wife Rosalyn were honored for their work on behalf of the shelter with a 2003 Community Partnership Award at Shade TreeÆs annual Stars Luncheon on October 17. Other award winners included FitzgeraldÆs Hotel-Casino, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Perini Building Company, the MGM Mirage Voice Foundation, and the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
