ONLY IN VEGAS - THIS IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!

[James Maxwel]

ONLY IN VEGAS
=============
 WAR, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?

It's hard to find any good economic predictio ns out there in the media these days, except for the fact that a new war is brewing out there in the Middle East between Israel and Gaza. 

Nothing seems to stir the imaginati on of good old-fashioned capitalis ts than the sounds of gun shots when things are going South.

ONLY IN VEGAS

So while the fireworks on the Gaza strip was the big news this New Year's Eve, visitors to the Las Vegas Strip here were complaini ng about the fireworks (or lack thereof) because they staged the show from the top of parking garages this year instead of the roof tops. So the visitors on the Strip had their vision blocked by tall buildings and residents in the suburbs had their vision blocked by tall buildings! Damn Those Tall Buildings (Or Blunderin g fools who made the change!)

That decision was made because they did not want the added expense to get a special rooftop license (a requireme nt since the Monte Carlo fire) for their .5 Million Dollar Fireworks Display.  OH Well .... Back To Work

THIS IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!
============================================

A field tester for the Nevada Highway Patrol was arrested recently for driving under the influence when he/she was summoned to administe r a test on a driver stopped by the cops.

WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!
============================================

If you were one of those who were waiting for Hell to freeze over to collect on your promises.  It froze over this week with 3 to 10 inches of snow in the Vegas Valley streets! School kids here had their first chance to play in the snow in their own front yards.

WHAT STEVE WYNN KNOWS THAT WE DON'T??
============================================

With everyone wringing their hands about the state of the economy, Steve plans to open the second phase of his upscale Wynn Collectio ns "Encore" Casino next Monday. How can you go wrong with a name like that!

CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FRIDAY!

What a crazy weather we are having here in the good old USA.  A couple weeks ago we were freezing in Vegas - this week we are having bammy 70 deg weather - while the rest of the country is shoulder deep in snow and sub-freezing weather.

ONLY IN VEGAS
=======================================

Well, no "gloom and doom" for our upbeat mayor, Oscar Goodman.  He is finding new ways to generate revenues like bringing in an entire town from Texas for a free promotion al vacation.  Not to mention he plans to built a Mod Museum. Of course the State of the State Address by the governor did not go so well.  He is planning to make drastic cuts of <BR>salaries across the board of state personnel .

For now everyone is waiting with great anticipat ion for the $160  Million inaugurat ion extravaga nza in Washingto n next week - bringing on the Obama Factor!  Can't wait.

=====================================

With all the commercia lism and festiviti es that have come to symbolize Christmas, most might think that religion plays no role in this red light district town. But the amount of churches here dwarfs the amount of casino propertie s by a long shot.

A major different with Vegas church goers though is that members often place chips in the collectio n plate instead of cash.

That is so huge that they have a whole army of Monks who sort and cash these chips at different casinos.

They call them the "Chip Monks!"  ......... .....  That was a joke, please?

What a week of celebrati on it has been in Washingto n. The Obama Factor is at work already removing most of the Bush's executive orders to the dismay of some and the joy of others - Looks like things are going to get really interesti ng shortly!


ONLY IN VEGAS
what A week It has been!

Well the the major conventio ns - the CES and the Porn Industry - just closed their displays and headed home, while our teachers union and the Culinary Union are up in arms - one against the Governor plans to cut salaries and the other against Oscar Goodman who plans to build his new expansive City Hall-Condo-Mall complex to generate future revenues.  Of course, if that doesn't work, he is still toying with the idea to legalize prostitut ion in the city to bring in a few extra hundred millions.

On a more frighteni ng note. One resident almost got her 3 year old toddler eaten by a 18 pet snake. The poor thing must have been very hungry - things being what they are these days. And that was just one of the six hungry creatures she has in the house to feed.
