Curious about a restaurant, event, or other Las Vegas attraction that looks fun? Let us review it for you first! Suggestions are always welcome at: allvegastv@aol.com

Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Scenic Southwest Tours – by plane, bus, or even helicopter! You’ve seen the glossy ads in the tourist brochures. You’ve thought about it. You come all the way to Las Vegas — why not see one of the some of the most famous landmarks in the world! Don’t by tricked by web sites & magazines that offer discount tours. Taxes, park fees, permits can almost double the price. Our prices are inclusive – no hidden charges! Best Las Vegas Tours

LAS VEGAS NEWS – of interest to tourists:

NEW SAHARA NASCAR THEME – As part of it’s $100 million dollar renovation and expansion, The NASCAR Cafe is under construction at the north corner of the property. In addition, a 1,400 foot roller coaster featuring a huge loop and 4 seconds of weightlessness will bring a new audience to the property when completed. Full story at http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1999/Sep-06-Mon-1999/business/11887245.html and Sahara discount rooms (often as low as $30 a night) can be found at http://www.accessvegas.com/las-vegas-strip-hotels.htm (Sahara link).

LA TO VEGAS GRIDLOCK – For those of you who have to deal with with that terrible commute home to So. California after your weekend visits, we do care and are doing something about it. Over the next few years, the state of California (with partial funding by the state of Nevada) has embarked on projects to widen parts of I-15 as well as reconstructing the Barstow interchange. Full story at http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/archives/1999/sep/12/509294298.html

BIKERS – may want to ride in for the Steiner’s Octoberfest celebration Saturday October 2 from 3 – 10 PM. This event will feature German beers and food, live music by the Dummkopfs, prizes, and a grande finale of a 1999 Harley Davidson Springer Softail giveaway. Steiner’s is located in suburban Las Vegas at 8410 W. Cheyenne Ave. (in the Lucky shopping center). You can request more information at (702) 395-8777

FRIENDS OF IN-VEGAS.COM – If you have a webpage, we’d sure appreciate a link to http://www.accessvegas.com so that everyone knows where you go for top-notch Las Vegas information. Our independence let’s us “tell it like it is”, but because we are independent, we don’t have the huge ad budget of the major sites and depend on word of mouth and links to our site.

WINNERS! – Patti Danielewicz of Thorp, WI was the winner of the Paris Las Vegas $1 silver gaming token. John Strutt or Southey, SK, Canada was the winner of the Swing Cat Blues souvenir sunglasses.

FREMONT ST. EXPERIENCE – has announced it’s New Year’s Eve Bash 2000 featuring live music by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITED, THE GUESS WHO, STARSHIP, AND REO SPEEDWAGON. The $100 ticket does NOT include food or drink. They note that the price was set to keep the crowd down, and I imagine they will succeed. This is a 1000% increase over the traditional $10 ticket price. You can buy them at (702) 474-4000 if you wish. Or you can party with 750,000 of your “closest” friends on the Strip with no admission charge.

Ellis Island lounge is and has been the #1 Karaoke lounge in town for years. They are not a paid sponsor of ours. We don’t get a dime, not even a free meal for mentioning them, and the coupons we pass out are obtained from our slot club memberships, not directly from the management.

The clientele at Ellis Island is generally middle and upper-middle class. It’s not a megaresort, but their Wednesday night All-You-Can-Eat King Crab Legs is continually ranked as one of the top-10 deals in town by the Las Vegas Advisor (one of the most respected sources in town) and they have some of the better micro-brews in town, which they brew as you watch.

We have used the men’s room there many, many times and seen no evidence of drug use. We feel entirely safe and comfortable on the property regardless of the time of day or night.

Guess what — the cabby turned a $4 fare into a $15 fare. Please keep this in mind: the AVERAGE cabby or casino dealer can’t correctly quote tourism news from yesterday’s paper. They don’t go to shows, eat at the buffets, etc. (although they do get kick-backs for steering people to certain strip clubs). Because they work on the Strip, the spend their free time as far away from it as possible. Their information is often some of the worst rumor in town, and we’re sorry they steered you away from a fun karaoke experience. If they had the best and latest info out there, there would be no need for a newsletter like ours.

Curious about a restaurant, event, or other Las Vegas attraction that looks fun? Let us review it for you first! Suggestions are always welcome at: allvegastv@aol.com

LAS VEGAS NEWS – of interest to tourists:

LEWIS-HOLYFIELD FIGHT – the much anticipated rematch between these two popular fighters takes place November 13 at the Thomas and Mack Center. We’ve told you how electric fight weekends are, so book now even if you aren’t planning to attend. Nothing brings celebrities from all over the world into Las Vegas like a heavyweight fight.

FOOTBALL IN LAS VEGAS

Full story on John Robinson at http://www.lvlife.com/aug1999/features/story01.html

SWING CAT BLUES – is the new high tech answer to the former low tech shows of the Fremont St. Experience downtown. In this animated tale about hip blues cats making it big in Vegas, hijinx abound on Route 66 as these cats follow their dream on their way to win a recording contract. Discount downtown rooms are available at http://www.accessvegas.com/las-vegas-hotels-downtown.htm and we are giving away a pair of limited edition Swing Cat Blues sunglasses in our contest section.

PAY BACK THAT MARKER – if you take out a marker at a Las Vegas casino, it’s very wise to pay it back. No, they no longer send really big guys to break various body parts. But unpaid markers are prosecuted as bad checks in Nevada, and you can find yourself with a free trip back here to stand trial. Full story at http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1999/Sep-05-Sun-1999/news/11884553.html

ShowVegas at http://www.showvegas.com/svpricing.cfm?cscheme=5&amid=143 is a new partner of ours. They come highly recommended, and can get you tickets which might already be sold out by the time you get here. However, as with any advertising partner, we want your feedback. We just dumped Prodigy Internet from our partner base because we found out that they weren’t getting the introductory CD’s out to those who requested them. If our advertisers can’t deliver, they are history. Your trust is far more valuable to us than an extra dollar from a poor company.

LAS VEGAS NEWS – of interest to tourists:

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

NFL BARS – speaking of football, the RJ has just released it’s list of the “home team” bars here in Las Vegas. They list very bar that considers itself a home for the supporters of a particular team and that show every single team game live. Plus, they must have food and drink specials. Full story at http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1999/Aug-29-Sun-1999/lifestyles/11846612.html

THE RAT PACK IS BACK – By now, you may have seen the controversy surrounding this David Cassidy produced show on many of the national tabloid news shows.

You can read the RJ’s review at http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1999/Jul-30-Fri-1999/weekly/11634441.html.

Rental Cars – Don’t pay top dollar! Enter the dates of your visit and compare prices from virtually every major rental car agency (most US cities). Book the lowest price company or your regular agency. Save the hassle and some money – Car Rental Savings Search. Few regret renting a car. Free shuttles and city bus rides can be slow and smelly.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

>Enjoy you newsletter..I do have a couple of questions.
>áá l. I see for two weeks that the winners of the couponsá were from
>California. since I’m from NY we don’t get your letter until after
>midnightá and we are in bed.á Is there anyway we would ever have a
>chance at these?
>ááááááá Thanks for all your good information.

Thanks for your concern. We make every effort to make the chance of winning the coupons and prizes as random as possible. We choose the 10’th entry. Some days, we have 20 entries in a few hours. Sometimes it takes 2 days to hit that 10’th entry mark. Please keep in mind that the number of subscribers who are going to be in Las Vegas during the dates the coupons are valid is both small and variable. So, it is sheer luck to be the 10’th considering all of the above.

By far, more Californians visit Las Vegas than from any other state or country, which probably means that more Californians subscribe to this newsletter. Having said all that, only one of our three winners this past week was from California, and we welcome readers from around the world!
