Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:
Hello from Las Vegas! The weather has been incredible, with highs in the low 80’s. Enjoyed watching some of the snow and rain on TV, but glad it isn’t here. Spring is in Las Vegas!
Travel 101 – Every few weeks, someone writes and say “I try to get your deals and it always gives me a higher price than you put in the newsletter.”
In the travel industry, prices are listed “From $$$.” For example, Travelocity.com has a “Las Vegas From $25” commercial running on TV (where they say to check elsewhere, you’ll be back). If you are willing to travel on off days, no weekends, and stay downtown Las Vegas somewhere, you might get the rate they advertise. A search for May 4-7 Las Vegas on Travelocity.com found no rates lower than $39.95, and this was the weekday.
Travel prices are subject to demand. Travel during peak periods costs more. We have a How To Get The Best Las Vegas Room Rates page that explains steps you can take to get the lowest rates. Hope it helps!

Featured Review: Zeffirino Italian At The Venetian
By John Guinivere and Marianna Jones – ChefLive.Com
The staff who tend to the day to day operations of “Zeffirino”, inside the Venetian Hotel, located on the famous Las Vegas strip, invited a few of us to dinner as their guests. Downstairs, where the bar is situated, we began our evening with a cocktail. The bar is very intimate and has almost a cathedral ambiance. It was the perfect setting to relax, people watch and prepare for our wonderful dinner upstairs in the dining room.
Zeffirino is not just another restaurant in Las Vegas. It has a history that extends back to 1939, originating in Italy. The first Zeffirino is still known as the best restaurant in Genoa and was founded by Paolo Belloni. With BellioniÆs vision and Confucio BelloniÆs guidance, Zeffirino opened as a small pub, in a small fishing village in Genoa and through the years has become one of the most famous restaurants of the region.
It is not the food alone that makes a great restaurant. It is the people who cook, serve and greet the customer as well. The evening we went for dinner, we had the opportunity to take the time to sit down and talk with some of the individuals who keep Zeffirino ticking like a well oiled clock. I had one of my best dining experiences ever, listening to the stories and the rich history about the restaurant and the past careers of those who enable Zeffirino and itÆs traditions to continue.

Featured Tour: Valley of Fire – Logandale Trail
Valley of Fire – Logandale Trail (ATV) – Located just one hour from Las Vegas, the Logandale Trail System of the Valley of Fire is an off road rider’s paradise! This tour takes place on the north side of the Valley of Fire. The area is a scenic wonderland with towering, fiery red rock formations, sandstone cliffs, and Native American Petroglyphs carved into the Canyon Walls.
Valley Of Fire PhotosAdditional Tours Including Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, City, Scenic, National Parks, and Adventure |
Featured Golf Course: Painted Desert
Painted Desert – was the original desert-style golf course in Las Vegas, and the contrasts of the desert areas and lush green fairways lend beauty and challenge to the experience. Painted DesertÆs tee boxes and fairways are separated by native desert vegetation (cactus and mesquite), several lakes guard the landing areas and greens, and many bunkers dot the course.

Recently, my spouse and I have experienced the excitement of penny slots. It just seems like it is more fun to win 7500 credits on a penny machine than to win 300 credits on a quarter machine even though you’re winning the same amount in either case. We’re planning a trip to Vegas in the near future and plan to do a lot of casino-hopping. Can anyone tell us where to find penny slots? Who has the most? Where you’ve had the best luck?
Penny slots are getting very popular, especially now with the “ticket in, ticket out” technology so you don’t have to scoop up your winnings in pennies. We know many of you enjoy them when you hit town! Which machines are your favorites? Do you play a few coins at a time, or do you play the machine loaded?á Tell us about it in our Penny Slots forum.

I have enjoyed reading your news letter for over a year now. I travel to Vegas once or twice a year and and your newsletter has been a big help in “seeing the town.” I recently had a very unpleasant experience with a cab driver who went the long way to my hotel. I guess he thought I was a rookie to Vegas. When I asked him why we was taking me on this route, he told me the other road was under construction. WRONG! I was pretty upset and told him he ate up his tip. What I didn’t do was get his name and the taxi company’s name. I will never make that mistake again.
On my return to the airport, I had a great cabbie and told him what happened on my arrival. No, the road wasn’t under construction and yes, I did get taken. Unfortunately, I read about taxi rip offs in your newsletter AFTER I returned. At least I’ll be aware in the future. Thanks for covering that subject. At least I’m not the only one who got suckered.
We bring this up from time-to-time because cab drivers are notorious for “long hauling” riders. All the while, they pretend to be friendly and helpful, trying to sell you tickets to a Strip Club or other show that they are getting a healthy kick-back for.
I’m not saying that all cab drivers are bad, but it doesn’t hurt to beware. If they take you through the airport tunnel (without informing or asking you), they are taking you the long way. The Strip is north of the airport. The tunnel heads south!
We have a complete page on Getting Around In Las Vegas that includes information on cabs and other forms of transportation. If you feel you were “long hauled” or experience any other problem with a cab driver, just quietly note the cab company and car number and (if you can) their name on the drivers certificate posted in the cab. Do not call the cab company. Like they care!
Call the Taxicab Authority at (702) 486-6532. They do keep records, and can suspend drivers with repeated complaints. Don’t feel bad! Your call alone won’t cause a driver hardship. If a number of complaints develops against a driver, they need to be weeded out. We want you to have a great time in Las Vegas!
Message Board Member “Scott ” wrote a great trip report about his December visit. Talked about his flight, cab ride, gambling, drinking and just having a good time at Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Rio Suites, Luxor, Bellagio, Caesars, and more. This is a great read whether you are getting ready for your next trip, or missing the Las Vegas experience.
Check out his Dec. 14-16 Trip Report. And don’t forget to contribute your own trip report or thoughts on your trip when you return. It is a great way to relive the fun and excitement as well as helping others plan for their trip!
Message Board Member “Laree” wrote:
I have been travelling to Vegas for years, and have enjoyed fishing the parks near the Strip stocked with trout. This year though I have the time to extend further out, maybe to Lake Mead or the Colorado river. Any advice, or links to finding fishing info would be greatly appreciated (trip is late February!)
Unfortunately, our backlog prevented us from asking before Laree came to town, but if you fish this area, step up to the plate and help your fellow anglers out with some basic (or advanced) info about fishing in Las Vegas in our Any Fishermen In Vegas forum.
Message Board Member “bill67 ” wrote:
Which club (green Door, Red Rooster, Hid-n-seek, Fantasy Social club) is better for a couple? Which is cleaner, more respectable? Which has a better ratio of couples versus single men? Any help would be great.
This is a good time to emphasize that our forums let you pick a “screen name” so you can be anonymous. If someone emails you from your forum profile, it goes through our machine. Your actual email is never revealed to someone unless you write them back and tell them.
We do not have any association with these clubs, but if you have advice for “bill67” feel free to respond to his post in the Adult Swing Clubs forum. Please post and/or contact someone through their profile. Our forums are great for sharing info, but we will draw the line at personal ads.

I saw Thunder From Down Under last October and they were fabulous!! It’s a very interactive show – so the shy ladies should sit way in the back!!!! The show is funny, sexy and exciting. Some of the best looking men I’ve seen in a long time!! Saw the Chippendales many years ago…I much prefer Thunder. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Also, plenty of opportunity to meet the men…
In my 10 years here, the biggest (and possibly best) change I have seen is more women enjoying Las Vegas! It used to be rare to see groups of women out and about, having fun, cutting loose, maybe having a couple too many cocktails but the tide has turned. “Girls Night Out” vacation now means Las Vegas!
Two popular shows are Thunder From Down Under and Chippendales The Show. If you have seen either one, or want to know what others are saying, check out our For The Ladies (Male Revues) forum.

My wife and I are yearly Las Vegas regulars and both in our early thirties. Can someone out there recommend a dance club where we won’t feel out of place and “old”.
Thirty-something includes me (Ted) and I imagine a fair number of our readers. We know you come here to do more than gamble so tell us your favorite nightlife in our The Thirty-Something Crowd forum. I posted a couple of my favorites and someone else has already chimed in. Where do you love to dance and lounge?

Best Golf Course – Angel Park Golf Club was recently named Best Las Vegas Golf Course by the readers of the Review-Journal (local morning paper). You can enjoy the challenge and beauty of two Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole championship golf courses, experience the thrill of the game’s most famous par-threes on the Cloud Nine Short Course, and test your mettle against the intriguing putting course.
Room Rates Down – Rates have fallen due to travel concerns, although we saw demand start to pick back up the past couple of days. If you want in on the cheap rates, you might want to make those Vegas Vacation plans now.
Real World Cast Makes Live Appearance at Palms Finale – Cast members of the Real World Las Vegas will make an appearance at a season finale party to commemorate the last show of the seven-and-a-half month series. Read More …

Safety – I am on the Las Vegas Strip 2-3 times a week. There are subtle signs of more security and police presence, and the hotels have noted much more security activity not visible to guest to provide optimum safety. I don’t even give it a second thought.
Besides, why would anyone do anything to Las Vegas? We are the center of … just about nothing. No major media. No important financial centers. Not a huge population center. Many would figure that “evil Sin City” got what it had coming and wouldn’t care! And terrorism is about making people care.

Featured Story: Foreign Travel? Who Needs It When You Have Vegas, Baby!
Tired of war news and growing anti-US ranting overseas? Want to avoid outrageous prices, terrorism, 12-hour flights, customs hassles and interminable international airport security delays?Try Las Vegas as an all-inclusive alternative to taking your hard-earned US bucks through unfriendly skies to hostile foreign destinations. But if you still want a taste of world travel without leaving the good, old USA, you can do it all in just one city. |
Paris – Do you need the original’s lousy attitudes, poor service, bad sanitation and smoke-filled, overpriced cafes and hotels? If you still remember when France was our friend, and you’d like to relive those memories, go to Paris Las Vegas.
This glitzy Gallic resort outshines the grungy French original in every way. It has great facilities, superb restaurants, a fake Eiffel Tower and a faux Arc di Triumphe. It isn’t the real Paris, but will you really miss the pervasive Parisian pretensions, pickpockets, pollution, paranoia and pigeon poop?
Italy – The attitude in Italy is a bit less obnoxious than in France, but its dirty, graffiti-smeared cities teem with sleazy characters always on the prowl to mug, hustle and hassle American tourists, particularly seniors. For a more enjoyable taste of Italy, try Las Vegas’ three magnificently phony palazzos.
- Visit the glitzy Venetian, where instead of boating on the real Venice’s smelly, polluted canals, you can ride gondolas through clean waterways to within steps of exclusive shops and casinos.
- Bellagio has exquisite Italian decor throughout, topped off with authentically faux Renaissance ceiling paintings. The resort has the best in Continental dining, and enough Italian marble to make Michelangelo drop his chisel and try his fortune at the tables.
- And for ultimate Italian ambiance as experienced by Francis Albert Sinatra, Dino Crocetti and Anthony DiBenedetto, visit that venerable Vegas landmark, Caesars Palace. Where else can you slurp gelatto while watching a mechanical Bacchus and other plaster gods extol the virtues of wine, gambling and shopping in Caesars Forum Shops?
The Caribbean: Everyone knows the natives of these islands were oppressed and exploited for centuries by Europeans. But, hey guys, enough already! Your economy depends on tourism, so stop scaring away US tourists with angry discourtesy, frequent strikes, heavy street crime and political posturing.
For a more tranquil, no-attitude Caribbean vacation, try basking on the pristine imitation beaches and glitzy ambiance at the super-luxurious Mandalay Bay Resort.Gimme Shelter – With war and terrorism on everyone’s mind, here’s some emergency advice for Vegas visitors and residents. In case of enemy attack, everyone is urged to rush to The Bellagio (home to what some think are the world’s tightest machines) and just crawl under the slots. Those machines will never be hit! (Aw, just kidding!) |

Featured Golf Course:
Stallion Mountain Country Club Man O’ War
Stallion Mountain Country Club Man O’ War – Stallion Mountain Country Club is the trifecta of Las Vegas golf so bet big because the odds are with you here. The Man O’ War course was the first built at Stallion Mountain and was a host course in 1991 for the PGA Tour’s Las Vegas Invitational. Chip Beck shot a 59 that year, joining Al Geiberger (at the time) as the only men in history to shoot that score.

Featured Review: Coyote Ugly
Coyote Ugly is a southern style bar and dance saloon featuring hot female bartenders who have elevated pouring drinks to an art form. Like its New York City namesake, each night, sexy, sassy, tough talking Coyote Ugly bartenders ascend atop the bar to perform a bold show filled with stunts ranging from fire-blowing to body shots, clogging and choreographed dance numbers, all while inviting customer interaction.Coyote Ugly boasts some of the wildest bartenders and sexiest barkeep this side of the Mississippi. The “Coyotes” were selected in an arduous competition of 150 finalists for the coveted bartender positions. Most of the “Coyotes” had professional dancing experience before joining Coyote Ugly with experience ranging from Las Vegas production shows to cheerleading for professional sports teams. There is even a former Rockette on the payroll. |
Coyote Ugly’s southern Americana decor invites its guests to check their inhibitions at the door, kick back and relax. Dark, trendy martini bars with VIP couches and private corners have filled the Las Vegas landscape, the aim of Coyote Ugly’s design is to knock that trend down a notch in an atmosphere that makes the guests part of one big party.
Like the New York City original, Coyote Ugly Las Vegas is designed to look like a southern bar that has endured years of partying, entrenched with southern flea market treasures and dark worn wood. There is ample room for dancing on the bar, where even the most reserved guests are invited to showcase their talents and leave their undergarments behind for the “Bra Wall of Fame.”

Featured Tour: Area 51 – Top Secret (SUV)
Area 51 – Top Secret (SUV) – This tour takes us to an incredibly remote part of the Nevada desert. It is awesome just to realize how much trouble the government went to, to stay away from the prying eyes of the public. This tour starts with a stop in a vast gorge where UFO sightings have occurred directly over the highway. Our second stop is at the rim of a beautiful canyon where more sightings have taken place. This is an unmarked road that goes to one place only, the Top secret location of Area 51.
