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

Hello From Las Vegas! We want to wish Jerry Lewis a speedy and good recovery from his recent heart troubles. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in 2000 and was blown away (read my archived review). I was born well after his height of fame and can’t say I’m necessarily a fan of his movies. But as a stage entertainer, Lewis is one of the finest I’ve every seen. He had to cancel his July engagement here in Las Vegas, but he will be hosting the Labor Day Telethon live from the South Coast Hotel Casino.

Imperial Palace Future? – The word surrounding the future implosion of the Imperial Palace changes by the day and by the source. Is (IP owner) Harrah’s going to blow it up and put something new on that spot? Yes. But we have very mixed signals about how soon. The hotel has been undergoing significant changes and renovation, most of which make no sense if the hotel is on its last legs. Having said that, an implosion and construction project is such a major decision that Harrah’s wouldn’t let a few bucks worth of changes at the IP stand in the way or a decision to go ahead and torch it. We’ll keep you posted …

Bellagio Fountains Of Diet Coke – If you are one of the few that haven’t seen the online video that recreated the Bellagio Fountains using Diet Coke and mentos, this is a must see. Click To View

The George Wallace Show Gets Better

George Wallace las vegasReviewed May, 2006
by Phil Arnold

The George Wallace Show in Las Vegas has been in town for a little over two years, and it has gotten better. The show was good two years ago when I saw it, but I think Wallace is even more comfortable with Las Vegas audiences than he was before. In many ways he plays the audience like a skilled fisherman. He evaluates the audience as he goes, and adjusts to the audience. If you go and see shows on back-to-back nights you are likely to see 75% different material than you did the night before.

What will you see when you go see George Wallace at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino? You will see a very funny show. You know that Wallace is going to talk about “I be thinking,” how he has been observing people and situations, and he will offer some common sense, but really funny suggestions and solutions. He will pick on some people in the audience, joking good-naturedly about audience members, often related to various professions. If you are a lawyer, or work at an airport, you might get picked on. And if you are a prison guard who is wearing an orange jump suit, you might get picked on. Click to Read Full Review …

Delirium – Turning Music Into Motion; Cirque Du Soleil’s First Live Arena Event To Perform At MGM Grand September 8 & 9 – Cirque du Soleil presents DELIRIUM, the multi-faceted event of unprecedented proportion featuring Cirque du Soleil music remixed. Cirque du Soleil’s first-ever live arena event kicked off its North American tour in Montreal Jan. 26 and will visit the MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday, Sept. 8 and Saturday, Sept. 9. Both performances are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Created and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon, DELIRIUM is driven by an urban tribal beat and awe-inspiring visuals as musicians, singers and dancers transform the arena into a joyous frenzy. DELIRIUM is the quest for balance in a world that is increasingly out of sync with reality. The show pushes the limit of arena performance through technical magnitude, human introspection and creative prowess. Click to Read The Full Story …

Tina Turner ‘Rolling Down the River’ In ‘Legends’; Queen of Rock Impersonator Debuts In Celebrity Tribute Show – Audiences at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino’s “Legends in Concert” will be “rolling down the river” when Queen of Rock Tina Turner debuts in the celebrity tribute show Monday, May 22.

The Las Vegas Hilton is taking advantage of its third floor pool deck (with a great view of the city) to throw a “Cool By the Pool” happy hour, where two-for-one drinks are served, music (live and D.J.) is everywhere, and Foster’s and Bacardi are sponsors. Happy hour (technically happy hours) is 5 p.m.-8 p.m. daily.

Pool Party Featuring Grammy-Nominated Singer Lisa Loeb Monday, July 3 At Suncoast Poolside – A dozen years after exploding onto the scene with “Stay (I Missed You),” Lisa Loeb-one of the most recognizable musical artists of the last decade-premieres not only her first “best of” collection but her own unscripted TV series. Featuring 18 selections, The Very Best Of Lisa Loeb includes all of her hits from five albums from 1995 to 2004 as well as the most memorable tracks from her career to date. The literary Loeb also penned the album’s liner notes. Click to Read The Full Story…

Members Mania – We Love Our Readers!

Readers Write –

Dear Ted,

I have been subscribing to your newsletter since just before my first trip to Las Vegas in April two years ago. Thanks to you upon arrival I knew what sites I wanted to see and which I didn’t, where to find great drink and food deals and even how much it was going to cost me to go to the Stratosphere to ride the coaster! And, it was all right on my pocket PC. I owe a great 5 day trip to you. Not a minute was wasted.

This year as we are gearing up to go on May 5th, thanks to your newsletter, I now know that since the Westward Ho has closed, I can go to Casino Royale to get my cheap Margaritas. I also see I am not the only one saddened by the closing of the Stardust, our hotel of choice. Like you I feel they should keep some of it’s history at the new Echelon Place. I can’t imagine that section of the strip without the famous sign.

Keep up the good work!

Suzanne E.

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

Hello From Las Vegas! Just as Celine joined the ranks of permanent Las Vegas headliners so she could be home every night to raise her child, Toni Braxton is doing the same with her new “permanent headliner” status at The Flamingo where she replaces Aretha Franklin.

After a fierce bidding war, The Tropicana has finally been sold. Just as I have predicted repeatedly in our free streaming broadcast/podcast (click to listen to all archives), the Trop is going to be around for a while. New owners Columbia Sussex Corp. hint at quite a bit of construction and upgrading, but no plans to implode and start over.

This is great news for budget travelers who have enjoyed the hotel’s great location and lower priced rooms. For those of you that prefer more upscale accommodations, don’t worry: Las Vegas has about 40,000 hot, new high-end rooms coming online in the next 4-5 years.

Current Giveaways!

Book Signing – Our good friend Brian Rouff, author of the best-selling Las Vegas novels “Dice Angel“ and “Money Shot,” will be signing books at Rejavanate Coffee Lounge, 3300 E. Flamingo Road, on Sunday, June 4, from 2 – 5 PM (Google Maps link). These are two great books. If you have a copy, stop by and get it signed. If you don’t, these are required Las Vegas based fiction reading.

Enjoy This Issue!

Toni Braxton The Flamingo’s New Headliner – Six time Grammy award winner Toni Braxton will soon be headlining at The Flamingo. The 37 year old R&B singer starts performing there August 3. She replaces long-time crooner Wayne Newton who wraps up his headlining run in the Flamingo Showroom next month. Click to Read The Full Story … (plus streaming video from KVBC Las Vegas).

Tropicana owner agrees to be sold to Columbia Sussex for $2.75 billion – Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex Corp. became the apparent winner of the two-month long bidding war for control of Aztar Corp. on Friday.

Pass This One Around – The Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook recently posted their ever popular NFL games of the year. This includes all the Sunday night, Monday night, and other marquee match-ups throughout the entire season. The SuperBook also posted the entire first week’s schedule just a month ago. More than 95 games were posted early. “This gives our guests the opportunity to wager on a particular game even though they might not be in Las Vegas on game day,” says Jay Kornegay, executive director of the Superbook.

These lines will remain open for wagering throughout the entire season with the SuperBook staff updating them every Sunday once the season starts. In this case, maybe the early bird does get the worm.

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

Hello From Las Vegas …and long time no see! We put the newsletter on hiatus while we’ve been doing some extensive expanding and improving of AccessVegas.com. More insider information, more giveaways, more stuff to do and see. We’ll detail much of it in this newsletter issue!

Insider Vibe – As you can see, we’ve changed the newsletter name as we prepare to split our content into two newsletters. This newsletter will continue to cover visitor information with your usual insider aspect. We’ll be spinning off our Vegas Update (see info this issue) focusing on the Las Vegas news stories that interest the world.

On a personal note, a big thanks to all the encouraging notes throughout the year as I battle back from some severe health issues. Never thought at the “ripe old age” of 39 I’d be dealing with a major health problem (long-term toxic household mold exposure and lasting immune system complications … mold can kill). I have a ways to go, but I’m improving every week, happy to be “back in the saddle” and as excited as ever about my city … Las Vegas!

Reviewed June 15, 2005
Nancy Hruska

Neil Sedaka“I’m the king of Tra La La’s and Doo Wop’s,” Sedaka humbly confessed.

It looks as though even after 4 decades of recording, Neil Sedaka is still able to make a rose-tossing full house at The Orleans cry and sing along to “Breaking up is Hard to do.” The truth is, no matter which age or demographic one belongs to; the heavy weight Pop pioneer will belt out some velvet anthem of which everyone knows the words.

His name sounds familiar to at least everyone with a record player, but who is Neil Sedaka? Oh just another face in the music industry; one of which had his songs recorded by the lesser known Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Not to mention a managing hand launching the careers of Neil Diamond, Carole King, and Paul Simon. But no one should assume his seasoned career would give him any less energy on stage now than 40 years ago. The man can soft shoe and sing smooth hits as though it’s his first day in showbiz.

Gambling Talk: Craps Made Easy – with Victor H. Royer. I often receive questions from my readers about the grand old casino game of Craps. What most people like to know is: Why does the game look so complicated? Well, it only looks that way. In reality, Craps is not only among the better casino games, but is also not nearly as difficult to play and understand as it may first seem. This week, click to read the article Craps Made Easy.

Hoover Dam Deluxe VIP Tour
Comedy Bus Tour

By Ariane
Bio and Contact Info

Up for an afternoon of comedy, education, history, sightseeing, nature, art, homemade food, fudge and unlimited fun? Then sign up for the Hoover Dam Deluxe VIP Comedy Tour! This 6 hour tour provides the adventure of the Wild West, and much more!

You are treated like a Vegas star from the very beginning! Your day begins as the tour bus conveniently picks up from most major Casinos. Leaving Las Vegas, you ride in plush comfort through the desert on the way to Hoover Dam. During this time, you will be entertained by a nationally known comedian that is also your tour guide! You never know who it may be! Fun games are played on the bus and secret surprise bags are handed out.

Once at Hoover Dam, exit the bus and begin your walking adventure. The tour guide takes you from the Arizona side of the Dam to the Nevada side, and narrates the “History in Dam detail”. Stops along the way include a walk across the very top of the dam, where you will look 726 feet over the edge, and stand directly across a 53 foot wide tunnel!

The sheer size of it all is breathtaking. On the Nevada side, there are many beautiful Art Deco sculptures, a sundial, and a map of the solar system to the precise moment when the Dam was dedicated. There is also a visitors center where to buy souvenirs or snacks. Picnic tables are nestled among towering canyon rock walls, for tourists to rest and enjoy the best of what man and nature have created.

Next up is the nature tour … on the scenic overlook of Lake Mead right outside Hoover Dam and Boulder Canyon. View Antelope squirrels burrowing on the mountain sides, see the largest man made lake in the world, and trails that lead to old mines where men searched for treasures of the earth. You also get an education about an experience with the desert stinkweed plant!

Lunch is at Matteo’s, located in the Historic Boulder Hotel. The food is homemade, and the service is great. The pasta is a recommended favorite! After eating visit the upstairs Museum and learn more about the history of Hoover Dam, see a movie, and a photo exhibit of the men who made the Dam a reality. Last stop is down the street to an Old Fashioned Fudge shop for some sinful samples!

On the ride back to Sin City, you will view stunning celebrity mountain homes, and take a drive through the neighborhood consisting of the actual “dingbat homes” built for the workers of Hoover Dam. The tour guide continues with more Las Vegas history, insider secrets, and a few other surprises. The rest you will just have to see for yourself!

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.

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.

  • Hotel Tips – How to get the best rates, where to stay (whether or not you have a car), minimum stay requirements to watch for.

  • Party Tips – Drinking (booze) container restrictions, how to avoid any trouble with the law, Mardi Gras beads, and more.

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

Hello from Las Vegas! The national news has been chasing Michael Jackson all over town. Never a dull moment here.

Got a couple of great feedback emails this week:

Myron Shulman had me laughing with this one (regarding Treasure Island now calling itself TI): I also heard rumors that MGM/Mirage plans to re-do the Mirage motif. All references to the south seas, as well as tigers, will be removed. What will they do with the tigers? They will need to come-up with a new name, too. They probably will call it “MI” as it’s next to “TI”. They can call the area “Mi-Ti“.

Magician Rick Thomas just celebrated six years of wowing crowds with his afternoon show at The Tropicana. I’ve seen the show before and this great show just gets better with age.

Rick takes the audience on a magical journey, weaving music, magic, dance and exotic animals that in many ways is more reminiscent of an evening show, but without the evening show price. If you’ve seen the show before, you have two great reasons to see it again. New Illusions “Street Beat” and “Incredible Shrinking Tiger.” Read More …

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

Maverick Las Vegas Wins Travel Channel Awards! – Our friends at Maverick Helicopter Tours were selected by the Travel Channel as having not only one, but two of the Top Ten World’s Best Helicopter Thrills. They were the only company to nail two slots in the top 10.

Labor Day Rooms – It’s not to late to book a room and party three days here in Las Vegas! And if you can’t join us then, keep in mind that summer is just beginning here. Average high temperatures:

September: 94
October: 81
November: 66

Summer doesn’t have to end if you check out our discount room specials. Plus guys … psssst: Football season plus legal sports betting plus our fabulous sports books make fall the exciting time of year! (And ladies, what better excuse to do some shopping if he’s spending his travel “allowance” at the sports book).

Vegas Flood – You probably saw shots of Las Vegas washing away last week. The flood was severe, but only in the far Northwest of our valley. Far away from any areas the average tourist will ever visit (30+ minute drive from The Strip).

Unlike the tourism areas, the far Northwest is still growing , meaning lots of open land and uncompleted flood control. You can view photos: KLAS TV 2003 Flood Gallery

Hello, I am a new member and I must say that I am impressed with the hard work that went into making this site exciting and helpful. My husband and I are planning a second honeymoon possibly next year to celebrate our 2nd honeymoon he is 44 and I am 43.

We may be older but we love still to do young things such as dance and listen to oldies 70 & 80’s we are not that old. BUT we feel we may be uncomfortable at some of the clubs that we have seen posted on here as well as advertised, can u tell us if there is a place for older yet not fossils men and women can go and let their hair down as we say.

We are considering either MGM or NYNY or Mirage, which is my personal favorite. We will be there for 10 days and nine nights, and are also seeking a on strip small wedding chapel to renew our vows, can u at all anyone be of help to us.

OK members, all hands on deck! I gave her a few of my suggestions in our Travel Questions/Trip Suggestions forum. With all of our varied reader experiences, I’m sure we can find nine days of great suggestions for them as well as some wedding chapel suggestions. Post away!

June and David wrote:

Due to work schedules and great discounts on air travel and hotels during Christmas that make going to Las Vegas affordable, we come here each year during this time. It seems that most all of the shows we want to see are dark.

Last year we were disappointed when such shows as Skintight, Penn and Teller, Folies Bergere, and Scintas, just to name a few, were all dark. We realize there is lots to do in Vegas, and that performers are entitled to have vacations, but do shows ever vary their schedules and switch vacation days? Will any of these shows be available during this time of year, or are we condemned forever never to see many of these hot shows in Vegas?

Vacationing the 10 days before Christmas is a double-edge sword. It is the lowest demand time of the year, offering dirt cheap room rates and plenty of elbow room here in Las Vegas. The downside is that most shows close. Partly because of the lack of tourists in town, and partly because many of the tourists who do visit before Christmas are budget minded with no interest in spending on a show.

Let us suggest making a second visit on the summer (or alternating every year). August heat brings fairly low room rates, but the shows are in full swing! As always, use our Vegas Show Search and Headliner/Concerts Calendar to play check out what is playing during your trip here.

7 of us stayed at the Lady Luck last month and were pleased. We felt comfortable gambling, dining, and sleeping. The hotel is not fast paced. I liked being able to walk right out my hotel room to the pool. 5 of us stayed in the Garden rooms and the 2 honeymooners stayed in the tower room with a Jacuzzi. Their room was fancy, rate was reasonable, and had an awesome view. We would all definitely stay there again.

We have some active posts about downtown going on in our Downtown/Fremont St. Experience forums. Join in with questions or share your experiences.

I think the new format is fantastic. It’s easy to navigate,too. I can’t wait to get back to Vegas. My wife and I were there a year ago, for the first time in our lives.(both are in late 50s) and we are going back again as soon as we can scrape up the money. Meanwhile, we look forward to the newsletter so we can keep up to date on things going on in your fine city. Thank you.

We opted to try the “downtown experience” our last trip and stayed at the Four Queens. Not the pick of the lot, I hope. In your opinion, which hotel has the nicest room…surely not the Queens…for our room left a lot to be desired. Thanks bunches!

I know we have fans of Downtown Fremont St. Experience (what many call “Old Vegas”). The rooms are less expensive and walking is much less, but not every hotel is a luxury resort. Tell us about your stays downtown (good or bad) in our Downtown/Fremont St. Experience Hotels forum.

My wife and I will be in Las Vegas on Sep 2-11 and again on Sep 14-16. I have read that the Celine Dion show is always sold out. Is that true? Do you have to purchase tickets before going to Las Vegas or can they be purchased after arrival? My wife said she has to see this show. And, after 42 years of marriage, I know that means we have to see this show, or else!!

These tickets continue to be in very high demand. As I write, only one day during that stretch is available. In general, tickets for all top shows should be purchased as far in advance as possible, but keep this in mind: Tickets are often not released for sale until 3-4 months before show date.

General suggestions for “hard to get” Vegas shows:

  1. Bookmark our Las Vegas Shows page and check back early and often. When the tickets become available, snap them up. In fact, if seeing a popular show, plan the trip around getting the show tickets if the show is a “must see”.
  2. Most Las Vegas shows are now reserved seating. Purchasing before you get here will simply get you better seats. The farther ahead the purchase, the better the seats!
  3. Info For Celine specifically:
    • Celine Tickets – This is the regular way to get them, at face value. Check back early and often.
    • Celine Premium Seating – These are great seats from a reputable, national ticket broker. You will pay more, but they have tickets for sold out dates and closer to the stage.More Celine:
    • Celine Dion Show Photos
    • Celine Dion Streaming Video Preview – Dial-Up Broadband

I will be arriving in Las Vegas on July 28th, 2003 and will be present for 1 week. Any suggestions as to what I just have to do while here (besides gambling of course). The 28th is my 21st birthday. Thanks in advance to all!

No better place to spend your first week of legal drinking and gambling age than in Las Vegas! I’d say to check out Casino Royale and O’Sheas where the drinks are cheap and the crowd is young and fun (I mean generally under 30). The Beach nightclub is crazy just about every night. Stay away from some of the really upscale nightclubs unless you have deep pockets and a nice wardrobe. There will be future visits for that.

OK readers, this guy is 21 so keep that in mind share your suggestions in our Travel Questions / Trip Suggestions forum.

More 21’st birthday questions:

Message Board members “sandym” and “debwils” are both bringing their daughters here to celebrate 21’st birthdays. They want advice for restaurants and things to do. Ladies … help them out! What are your favorite great restaurants in Las Vegas? What did you do on “Girls Night Out” trip to Vegas? Share in our Fun and Thrill / 21st Birthday forum.

Message Board Member “snapper1” wrote:

Going to be in town the end of July, any reports on good low limit and green chip single or double deck games?

Also any Baccarat for less than green chip?

I know we have some avid blackjack and baccarat players reading. Help this guy out plus talk blackjack in our new Blackjack forum.

Featured Story: Platters, Drifters, Coasters

The Platters, Beary Hobb’s Drifters, and Cornell Gunter’s Coasters

I was fortunate enough to have my parents in from out-of-town town, and have number relatives who live here so I rounded parents, aunt and uncle, cousin and even Grandma (ranging in age from around 30 to well past retirement) and away we went to see the Platters, Drifters, and Coasters. Wouldn’t you know it: everyone had a great time. I mean a really great, really fun time … as did the entire audience.

The late Cornell Gunter was the comic genius of the Coasters, and made the original group the “Clown Princes of Rock and Roll.” This continuance performs much of the comedic material he originally created, as well as treating us to memorable hits such as Lucy Brown, Love Potion #9, Yakty Yak, A capella, Twist, Poison Ivy and more.

The Platters kept the energy level up with their smooth renditions of some memorable classics and ballads. Only You, Great Pretender, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, My Prayer, Higher and Higher and more. Their smooth, uplifting performance really left everyone feeling great.

The late Elsbeary Hobbs was the original bass singer for the Drifters. It was his deep bass notes that are featured on There Goes My Baby, the hit that started a long line of great Drifters hits and many feel helped influence what became the Motown sound.

Hobbs carried on performing into the 90’s. After his death, remaining members of his group continue the legacy. Radio staples such as This Magic Moment, Save the Last Dance For Me, Under the Boardwalk, There Goes My Baby and more spring to life in front of your eyes.

As noted, these aren’t the original member versions of the groups. Death and time have retired many of the greats who made the music famous. These continuations have various ties to the originals, and keep the tradition alive with sharp outfits, the great choreographed moves famous during this era, and a top-notch level of professionalism and showmanship.

Whether this is the “soundtrack of your life” or you’ve just always enjoyed these time-tested classics, The Platters, Beary Hobb’s Drifters, and Cornell Gunter’s Coasters show is well worth enjoying.

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

Hello from Las Vegas! We visited the Crazy Girls show last week. We haven’t seen it since comedian Joe Trammel took over hosting duties. The show dancers are now even a more risquÚ. Plus, Trammel spoofs everthing from Richard Simmons to Lord Of The Dance and his quick-paced comedy was great.

Crazy Girls is a must for “guys night out” but still plenty sensual enough for couples. The night we went, couples made up the bulk of the audience, including one who had been married for over 50 years! Talk about keeping spice in the marriage!

Featured Review: Hypnolarious Starring Terry Stokes

Hypnotist shows conjure up all kinds of ideas, especially to those who have never attended one. Am I going to be put under a crazy trance? Are people going to take their clothes off? Is this some kind of mystic seance?

Put those crazy notions aside and get ready to laugh and laugh and laugh when you go see Hypnolarious starring Terry Stokes. Yes, Stokes is a premier hypnotist but more importantly he is a funny guy. He’s a true entertainer. You’ll leave having enjoyed yourself.

Like other hypnotist shows, volunteers are chosen from the audience. Before being hypnotized, Stokes tells them that after the show they will find their clothes neatly folded by the side of the stage after the show (just a joke, this show is PG-13 but no one gets naked). Read More …
