The Sleeper Has Awakened!

I
have been quiet for so long. It's time to get
back to business uncovering the reality of
Vegas. By the way my TV show, Vegas Confessions
is heading into our 4th season of filming. If
you get HDNet you really gotta take a look and
see what all the talk is about. The show is so
controversial that it was banned by most Vegas
properties. The joke is that the properties
carry HDNet on their TV line-ups so you can
watch and hear directly in your room.
Looks like there are going to be a few changes here in Vegas. Let's start at The Mirage where The Sugar Factory is opening its first location in Vegas. Rumors are that MGM/Mirage PR has already started with their typical bullshit. I wonder if its because they are not carrying Sin City Beer. But there will be frozen hot chocolate.
Remember when Elton John was playing Vegas? Well, he left his store behind and that is soon to become another burger bar style restaurant. How many is that now?
Off the success of Hubert Keller's take over of Joe Romano's concept at Mandalay Place. I guess Romano knew the secret all along!
Anyone had the meatballs at Lavo? Forget the meatballs, Have the Spiedini, its owner Lou Abins favorite dish on the new menu. Rumors are that previous Chef Ludo is blaming the Lavo Mediterranean cuisine failure on everyone but himself. Man up Ludo!

Penthouse
Gentleman's club has been taken over by the
legend of The Crazy Horse in Vegas. At one time
Crazy Horse defined the genre for Vegas. The
Crazy Horse III is about to take the next step
and redefine the experience for the World.
Rumors are that there are a few large rock stars
bringing their rock bar to the Crazy
Horse property known as The Playground, which includes the after hours club Obsession.

If
you go to Rao's in Caesar's Palace make sure you
check in with Bubbles first. He really adds to
the entire experience.
How could I forget? Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!! Greenspun Media fired Michael Carr from whatever BS position he had. Now he can go climb back under the pile of crap he crawled out of. Poor Max Jacobson lost his position as food editor. I really liked Max. He became a good friend and will be missed. STAY TUNED!
