Peter's blog - Best Places to Watch Sports on the Las Vegas Strip
Football season is finally here, but where does one watch the games while on the Vegas Strip? It’s a question that should be easy to answer. Every hotel has a sports book; you would think that would be the solution. Unfortunately, a lot of the sports books in this town do not provide an ideal viewing scenario. Old TVs, neck-craning angles, no food. There are definitely some issues that get in the way of enjoying your favorite team’s games. Even a sparkling new book, like Cosmo or Tropicana, with a beautiful multi-screen setup that leaves you drooling suffers from a lack of seating. If you are by yourself, maybe it’s fine but if you are with a group, forget about it. Allison's blog: Al Jardine's Endless Summer Band at The Riviera
When my father fixed up an old ‘66 Mustang for me in high school, I got way more than a car. Stuck in the tape deck was a Beach Boy’s tape- the “Endless Summer” album, which also featured music from 1966. This made the gift of the car even more special. When I say the tape was stuck, I mean it was actually stuck. I couldn’t take it out so it was literally the only tape I played in my car for the four or five years I drove it. Occasionally I would strap my big CD player into the passenger’s side but that tended to skip when going over bumps and I really didn’t feel the need to listen to anything other than that one Beach Boys album anyway.

Sugar Factory, the upscale candy shop known for its expensive blinged out lollipops, has opened a restaurant to give you a more well-balanced sugar fix: Sugar Factory American Brasserie. The new outpost, located right on the Strip at Paris Las Vegas, features a candy store as well as a restaurant. When they opened their doors, members of the media were invited to come down and have a meal to test it out.

Peter's blog - Infinite Gmail Addresses I recently came across something I thought was pretty cool and could potentially be very useful for people. You can turn your one Gmail address into an unlimited number of addresses all in the same account. No new passwords or log ins to remember. Ready for the simple trick? Just add a + sign at the end of your current name, before the @, and whatever you want to your address, it will still work. As an example, say your current address is example@gmail.com. Now, in addition to that you can be example+demonstration1@gmail.com, example+demonstration2@gmail.com and example+creativeandclever@gmail.com. All those new address will show up in your regular account.

Peter's blog - Señor Frog's coming to the Las Vegas Strip 
A source of ours let slip plans for Señor Frog’s to sign a deal to bring their establishment to Treasure Island. The restaurant and bar has been a popular party spot in tourist destinations across Mexico, the U.S. and the Caribbean. Treasure Island already features two party bars in Kahunaville and Gilley’s, and a Mexican restaurant in Isla.

BlogAllison's blog: Sumita Beauty: an eye-opening experience
I’ve never paid much attention to my eyebrows. I tweeze a little here and there but I’ve never done waxing or threading. Frankly, that stuff seems expensive and a waste if I can just do it myself with some tweezers. When I heard there was a new treading shop coming to town, I decided I should probably get on board and try this new fad everyone seems to go nuts about.
BlogAllison's blog: Absinthe - Cirque on crack
I’ve never had to fight men off of my boyfriend at a show. Nor have I ever entered a phone booth only to discover a whole new world on the other side. That all changed when I saw Absinthe this weekend at Caesars Palace.
BlogAllison's blog: Piano! Las Vegas earns the exclamation point
Photo by Loly Ahern I’m intrigued by anything with a gratuitous exclamation point it its name. There’s Vegas! The Show at the Saxe Theater and now Piano! Las Vegas at the V Theater. I knew I had to go investigate and see what the “!” was all about.

BlogAllison's blog: Defending the Caveman
I have been wondering what “Defending the Caveman” was all about for quite some time now. Touted as the “longest running one man show on Broadway,” I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. How could a show with no costume changes, set changes or a cast over the number of one be that entertaining?
BlogPeter's blog: Return to Live Poker
Live poker is painful. Well, actually I normally enjoy live poker. So maybe I’m a masochist or maybe NASCAR weekend at the MGM was just atrocious for me. I’m leaning towards the latter. I play enough poker to know you can go card dead for a few hundred hands in a row fairly easily. When you are multi-tabling online, you can get through that stretch in 20 minutes, no big deal. That same stretch live can and did take up my whole weekend and was a boatload of pain. Arg. Videos and Photo - Kahunaville Big Kahuna Flair Smackdown 3
