Yes i'm back after a hiatus (another one) trying to clone a new liver isnt as easy as on the telly! No reviews just my opinion on Vegas so far. With recent events starting to simmer, validation's met and certain admissions of guilt. I decided to rant a little and why not? I'm the only writer and i can do whatever i want! So read and stay healthy! ciaolove this pic!

Thoughts on the day after tomorrow and the future of us all:Hello boys and girls…this is your friendly neighborhood writer of all things indecent and immoral. There are no reviews on any one place specific this week. Instead I’ll share my thoughts on the things I’ve seen thus far. Many of you will think: “Who really gives a shit anyway?” True enough…who really does give a shit? You do… all of you

Well here we go again...another update another long winding story for the masses. The last several weeks have been wierd and that's puttings things mildly. Included in this weeks update is the long delayed review of one of Vegas' old school diner/bar's called the Peppermill. At some point while some of you wander the strip, drunk on your power and money you might run into this place. As for the

Review: The Peppermill The Vegas Strip on a Thursday night is the calm before the storm. With Friday night looming the local’s head out to the mega-clubs, enjoying industry nights, cheap drinks and the occasional hand job. This night was a strange one; I had a new “Assistant” tonight, someone equally adept at maneuvering these dangerous waters. The night however started innocently enough,

Sheesh...another weekend with more reviews. The time here has become wierder and the weather continues to test me. I just finished up a weekend with good friend Michael Pasko from Mill City fame. Some of you San Diego readers (are there any?)might remember him. No places were reviewed but we sampled a little bit of the Vegas thang, with plenty of booze not enough women (except that girl Pasko was

Risque @ Paris Las VegasSaturday night: Once again I’m tired from a long visit with friends, so when I heard that Risque at Paris was having a Latin night I felt refreshed, I needed to see this for myself. Risque is an interesting place aside from the corporate links that bind many mega-clubs in Vegas, Risque was surprisingly low key. I arrived at 1200am to a packed casino but no line to the club

Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce @ Mandalay Bay Late night tonight vague recollections of the evening, it’s Monday morning I know because when I left the house six hours ago I was barely sober and now I have to keep one foot on the bed and one on the ground to make the room stop spinning. After successfully making it home from the Vegas strip I can now lay back and smile about the gorgeous Australian

Well it's been a long time since i've updated, recent trips to Flagstaff and a much needed recovery period are to blame. Included in this new batch of reviews is the Salsa Congress at the Stardust(Tony B included)and my review of a cool local bar called the Divebar and a review of Club Cherry at Red Rocks Casino. I've kept them short and sweet. Look for another update next week...this is were i

Las Vegas Salsa CongressStardust HotelI was sitting in an office amid 120 degree weather last Thursday afternoon when I received a call from long time friend Anthony Biondo aka Tony-B. Tony was going to be in town for a night and a day, specifically for the 6th annual Salsa Congress. His girlfriend Adrianna was competiting in the event, which boasts the best Salsa dancers this side of the

Cherry-Red Rock CasinoThe Red Rock casino is the latest in the super speed, shake and bake notion of development in the northwest section of Las Vegas. As with all casinos the attractions don’t stop at the mind-numbing slot machines and overtaxed 40 yr. old cougars shaking their ass for that extra tourist dollar. No the formula is simple for Station Casinos (owners of Red Rock, Sunset Stations)

DiveBarTropicana/Pecos Porno is a funny thing. Put a guy in a public place with porno on the big screen, and he reacts the same way a cheating husband might when encountering his mistress at a P.T.A. meeting. We know the sluts that are on the big screen we are very familiar….very familiar. However even in public places like Divebar one cannot stare too long….even after a few beers and 2 shots of

Ok kids i'm back after a 2 week hiatus in the Garden State and Flagstaff Arizona. Yeah i'm still trying to get the hippie smell off. A little petchulli goes a long way! Here are a few reviews done before i left. One is positive and the other my first negative review! Those of you claiming i sold out can now rest assured of my genuine sincerity and journalistic integrity.

Thus far in my illustrious career as a roving entertainment journalist, I’ve been very fortunate in reviewing some very nice clubs and bars. The owners and staff have been very generous and accommodating, especially when I walk into these places with a dangerous gang of Asian Real Estate assassins. No matter you’ve all read the reviews; things have gone so well that I’ve been recently

THEhotel Mandalay Bay I visited THEhotel almost 2 years ago in the midst of my MVP season; that summer was as hot as any here in Vegas. Looking back on that time period as I did last night, the innocence and excitement I felt during those early days of adventure and new found love, wrapped up in the most thrilling city in the country had me feeling nostalgic. I was back and nothing had really

By Justin Will The pristine and surreal desert valley outside of Palm Springs, CA has faithfully hosted the annual Coachella Valley Arts and Music festival the first weekend in May (or the last weekend in April) for the last six years. The festival has seen absolutely epic artist lineups that would make even the most hardened, ultra-cool indie snob melt into a puddle of his or her own eyeliner.

HelloI have ventured into the belly of the beast and i've kept stride! Well almost. This weeks update features a visit to Empire Ballroom, which is a pretty big club out here. I usually do at least 3 reviews, however Friday night was completely lame. A bar that i reviewed a while back was having a 1 year anniversay so i went back to cover it. Needless to say i wasn't impressed. I was more

Tao at the Venetian.I was looking forward to reviewing this place for quite some time. Actually my first venture or exploratory mission out to Vegas in November, under strange and covert circumstances, almost bought me to TAO. My former associate had the passes but lacked the conviction. Bottle throwing was her specialty not a good skill to have under the watchful eyes of the Vegas underworld.

Hello once again i come before you with several reviews of the past week. I finally made the foray into the nightclub scene, we took light casualties so we will try and breakthrough once again. What will happen when we finally breach the defenses? No one knows. Maybe a lost garrison of S.S. German soldiers will be waiting? Maybe a job? Or maybe nothing at all but a 50 year old woman thanking me

My First FridaySince the massive push by the local Las Vegas political machine to improve deteriorating downtown a year and change ago, the area is becoming home to local artists and local galleries. First Friday is an event that takes place…yes you guessed it! The first Friday of every month! The concept is not a new one, this happens in a lot of metropolitan areas. I believe San Diego hosts a

I've been blessed with super powers. I should be fighting crime with the X-men or the Justice League. My superpower is the ability to overcome hangovers. No headaches no vomiting. Actually vomiting can be induced if a known super villian gives me a certain party favor. That in combination with drink will induce sickness on a massive scale. No worries all my true enemies in San Diego know this.

Las Vegas is a lawless city, filled with all sorts of people, You have the mutants that move here for whatever reason and then you have everyone else. If you don’t pay attention you will find yourself broke and unable to do much of anything, let alone enjoy yourself. A strange night, one that started innocently enough, The World Baseball classic was on TV and I wasn’t in the mood to really watch.

A quiet night at the OutBack steak house in some nameless sub-section of Henderson. Quickly downing a strong Jack and Coke, much too strong for a corporate restaurant, I plotted my scheme for the evening. Songs playing above remind me not to look into the rearview.

Green Valley Ranch Casino harbors a unique little spot called The Whiskey. Now I'll admit at first when I got into Las Vegas, I tried to find this watering hole. The subsequent 2 attempts proved fruitless. I wonder if my not being able to see straight had anything to do with it? Yet this Friday night with nothing to do other than watch Battlestar Galactica I decided to give it a go. Armed with

Welcome to Opinions Mattter newest addition. Every week we will review some of the hot spots in the greater Las Vegas area. Since we are new to the city we figured why not let's give this idea a go. Most times we will focus on the funny expolits of our daring reporters covering everything from dive joints with 2.00 rum and cokes to high society hooker parties and 12.00 rum and cokes.
