E-215: Special Needs Haircut




Random Vegas
So after a bit of research, I couldn’t find any conclusive information as to what the busiest intersections in the US are.  That being said, based on numbers in 1996, found in the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas Blvd and Tropicana are the busiest in Nevada, seeing 148,000 vehicles cross daily; followed by Flamingo Rd & Las Vegas Blvd with 120,050 daily.

History tugs at the heartstrings for this cynical prick, you all know that; extra points for capturing it while it’s being created.  While I am a fan of Palazzo, the more I look at this week’s winner, brought to you by @Hollywood31, the more I realize how bland the color pallet is.  It’s just various shades of tan, devoid of the glass exteriors most properties favor now.  Not that that is a bad thing, diversity is the key in Vegas.  However at first glance, you wouldn’t even realize this is a picture of the property under construction.  It’s tough to tell where the finished exterior and internal steel frame meet.  Regardless, this phallic symbol of insecurity is a nice addition to both the strip and our collection.

Twitpic of the week



Okay, so it was sunset, not sunrise as I said in last week’s winning monolog.  The worst part is I really did some research on the angle and the shadows.  Once @_lucky45 told me the picture was taking at sunset, it was obvious to me and I cast shame upon myself.  However I still retain my supremacy of all things Vegas knowledge based; all things that I find interesting enough to care to know.  I don’t know if it’s technically a Manze but this week’s winner, brought to you once again by @_lucky45, definitely answered the call by sharing the exact same view, this time during the day.  He also forced the question to be asked, which view is better?  An argument can be made for both but one thing that can’t be disputed is that they both deserve to be called 360 #Vegas “Twitpic of the week”.
