E-249: Kevin Spacey's Fun Dungeon



Random Vegas
In 1971, due to the overflowing audience, people were being refused admittance to the Jimmy Dean, the Imperials & Dottie West shows at the Landmark.  One of those people, unknown to the staff, was Elvis Presley. Elvis was incognito, trying to not be recognized and it worked.  Once word got back to the production, he had no problem getting into the show the following night (Vintage Research) 

Twitpic of the week



There was no doubt in my mind, the second I saw it, that @JoeQ_sd's picture would be the Twitpic of the week.  An absolutely stunning picture of center strip with an angle normally reserved for Google earth or maybe a helicopter.  A view so tantalizing one can't help but reach out to try and touch it. The sight puts one in emotional juxtaposition depending on the situation.  Seen upon arrival to the city and endorphins are sure to be inadvertently released into the blood stream.  Seen while concluding ones latest adventures in paradise and its heartbreak, triggering a longing intensified as the distance from utopia widens while the view shrinks in the window. A feeling time only helps to dull while you wait to return to desert bliss in the key of C, all while painfully reminding you of the poor life decisions you've made that have led you to live any place but Las Vegas.

Twitpic of the week



It’s one of the most iconic properties in Vegas and responsible for the revolution that turned Vegas into the gaming capital of the world, regardless of how much money Macau generates.  The Mirage, her tropical theme and epic volcano are musts sees in Vegas.  The pool, dining and her tri-tower design inspired many copycats to surf in her wake.  Awe Inspiring, classic and sexy.  The Mirage Hotel and Casino brought to you by @RRKS_Official, well brought to you by Steve Wynn and @RRKS_Official took a really cool picture of the property and shared it on twitter.
