E-42: Probe Droids



Random Vegas - Vegas wasn’t the first choice for gangsters to setup shop in Nevada, Reno was.  However Reno turned down all attempts by people believed to be associated organized crime to build or purchase casinos in their city.  Las Vegas was far more accommodating.   (the Book - Las Vegas Chronicles)

Vegas Mate Review of the Week - DoubleD's April 4th review of Scarpetta @Cosmopolitan - 5/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week


This week’s winner is @JesseHyde_Vegas for a sweet picture of the inside of Hyde @Bellagio.  This picture not only showcases the interior design of the club but what a unique setting it is in.  You are able to see out to the patio overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio as well as the Paris balloon across the street at night.  Several pictures from Hyde’s patio have been up for Twitpic of the week but I really enjoyed that this one gives you the inside out look.  If I wasn’t interested in checking Hyde out before, I am now.

E-41: Slot Memory



Random Vegas - In 2011, 83% of total revenues at Venetian Macau came from gaming.  Marina Bay Sands gaming revenues made up 76.5% of the total while in Vegas, only 30.2% of the total revenue came from gaming. (Dr. Dave @unlvgaming)

Vegas Mate Review of the Week - Lance Orr’s March 28th review of Bellagio – 4/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week



This week’s winner is @MeeshCatherine for her picture of the Boulevard Pool at Cosmopolitan.  This is my favorite pool in Vegas.  I love that the pool is on the strip, the multiple levels, the environment, the recreational games and on and on.  I don’t feel like I’m missing anything at the Boulevard Pool.  I can relax and yet be right there for the Vegas action.  It’s also great for people watching on the strip.  I wish Planet Hollywood would renovate their pool in the same fashion.  Even if you are not much of pool person, you should really check this out if you’re ever staying at Cosmopolitan.
