E-40: Shandy Love



Random Vegas -  In 1968, nearly 10,000 people watched Evel Knievel attempt and fail a jump over the Caesars Palace Fountains (@VegasFunFacts)

Vegas Mate Review of the Week - Andrew from Austrailia for his March 20th review of SEA – the Thai Experience @Bally’s – 3/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week

This week’s winner is @rowiro for his picture of Mandalay Bay.  This is another beautiful property that, for some reason, doesn’t get a lot of quality photos posted on twitter.  The color of the gold glass really stands out in the stark contrast to an almost cloudless blue sky.  Although, for some reason, when I look at this picture, I think it looks like it’s just too cold to be hanging out by the pool.  I’m not sure why but regardless, it’s a great picture of a beautiful property.

E-39: Smash Back A Waiter



Random Vegas - Nevada’s slot base has shrunk from 217,221 machines in 2001 to 187,372 today.  That reduction means the state gets $9.9 million less in license fees per year (@unlvgaming)

Vegas Mate Review of the Week -John from Minnesota’s March 12th review of Monte Carlo - 4/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week


This week’s winner iS @dribbleglass for his picture of the casino floor at M Resort.  This photo is specifically of a table games area at the property.  It also grabs a nice sampling of the rest of the casino floor and shows how beautiful the space is.  Personally, I don’t really like staying off-strip, even staying at places like the Rio.  Not because I don’t like them or think they’re cool places but because I feel like I’m out of the strip loop, like I’m missing the action.  That being said, I would totally entertain staying at M for a night or two.  I love this property.  I think it’s the nicest locals property I’ve ever seen.  If you have a car in Vegas, I highly recommend you check it out.

Random Vegas - The largest Megabucks Jackpot ever won in Las Vegas was $39.7 million at the Excalibur in March of 2003.  The winner was a 25 year old man who came to Vegas for March Madness.  He invested $100 into the machine and turned it into 1.5 million over the next 25 years.

Vegas Mate Review of the Week - L. Patenaude’s March 8th review of Beso @Aria – 5/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week

This week’s winner goes to @24k for his picture of Cosmopolitan at sunset. This is one of the best pictures I’ve seen of the actual Cosmopolitan building.  Both towers and the casino exterior are captured in the shot all lit up.  Since the picture was taken as the sun was going down, you still get to see the silhouette of the back tower which, like the Luxor, can virtually disappear at night.  I love this picture, I love the Cosmopolitan and I can’t wait to get back to Vegas.

E-37: Crucifix Buns



Random Vegas - President William Harding enjoyed playing poker but wasn’t very good at it.  He once gambled away the White House china to wealthy socialite Louise Cromewell Brooks after a evening of poker (Casino Player magazine)

Vegas Mate Review of the Week - Karen's March 2nd review of The Price is Right @Bally's - 4/5 chips

Twitpic of the week

This was another one of those times when, all week, I thought I knew who the winner was going to be and then at last minute, a nominee came in and stole it away.  This week’s winner goes to @dribbleglass for a remarkable picture of Bally’s.  Caesars Entertainment lit up all its properties in orange last week to celebrate the release of the new Total Reward program.  The reason for orange is because that’s the color of the new logo.  The picture was taken as part of @povblog post highlighting the new program.  It’s a really great photo of Bally’s and it’s people mover at night.  Even more impressive, the picture doesn’t appear to have a single person in it.  You have to really zoom in to see that one or two people are lurking in the shadows.  It’s a great picture, another one that is so familiar to the Vegas frequenter that it immediately takes you to that place in you mind
