The buying stakes in other players has been around as long as the gambling problem, and the rags to riches story of victory always features a generous benefactor smiling at the rail surrounded by arm candy.

The Steve Wynn Stepson Show Part III

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:02:02 -0700

After trying and failing last year, Steve Wynn is making a second attempt to launch the music career of his step son Nick Hissom at Tryst. This might very well be the show of the year. We encourage all attending to bring a brightly colored dildo (preferably one that will glow in black light) for waving around in the air when Nick takes the stage.

This is actually Nick's second single. They want us to forget about the first single. We already did.

Good luck Nick! This part is called "paying your dues" be thankful...

Look out Stratosphere, there's a new roller coaster slash observation tower coming to the Strip - the Polercoaster!

Well... maybe. The Review Journal is reporting that U.S. Thrill Rides has submitted plans to the Federal Aviation Administration to build a 650 foot tall roller coaster slash observation tower at the Tropicana.

Enthusiasts will ride the roller coaster straight up the "pole" then get off at the top, barf their brains out, then hop back on and ride the roller coaster back down to the ground. Erhm. So this thing is a high speed open air elevator with...

Viva Le Doody!

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:30:58 -0700

Just when you thought that Bill's Doody had moved to the great scrap heap in the desert - along with the most of the rest of the bulkhead at Barbary Coast - it lives just in time to celebrate its first birthday!!!

Is it possible that The Quad Squad has realized that Bill's Doody has become a bonafide Las Vegas Folk Hero on par with the Plaza Smell?!?? Obviously not, because A) the only thing they've realized in the last year is that they want to become MGM Resorts International and B) if they had a similar realization, they...
