After waiting 6 months for Apple to wade through the tens of thousands of apps submitted early this year, six of my guides have been approved and have finally come to market. The Las Vegas Family Guide is probably the most complete and comprehensive app of its kind. This guide details 36 of the best [...]
I have to plug Franko’s Maps. If you’ve never seen, touched or opened a Franko’s map, you’re in for a big treat. These waterproof, tear-proof, idiot proof maps not only show streets, landmarks, and topography, they show a million other things too. Franko has 3 great maps for the Las Vegas area.

Baker, California has an elevation of 923 feet and a population of roughly 700. It’s approximately 1200 feet higher than Death Valley’s minus 282’ below sea level, and is 1000 feet lower than Las Vegas. So it gets hotter than Vegas, but nowhere near as hot as Furnace Creek to the north.
Baker was founded [...]
Whenever I venture out to Lake Mead via Boulder City, I always make time to walk the historic Railroad Tunnel Trail. This 3.7 mile trail one-way, which is level the first 2.5 miles is easily accessed just below Lake Mead’s Alan Bible Visitor Center, which is roughly 1/4 mile before the Hacienda Hotel and Casino.

I’m usually an early riser when I’m in Las Vegas and I love to get out an hour before sunrise and take photos of the fabulous signs. On this recent trip, I was staying at the soon-to-be expanded Golden Gate Hotel located at the corner of Main and Fremont Streets and I had [...]
Only 30 minutes west of the Strip is one of the most spectacular National Conservation Areas in the country and it’s easily accessed by anyone with a car, motorcycle, or bicycle. The 13 mile scenic drive costs $7 per vehicle and is one you’ll never forget. This article is about the Calico [...]

Everywhere you go in Las Vegas, Elvis seems to have a hand in the operation so why not at the altar? Take heart, the King reigns supreme even at the most haloed of public union places. Yes, “Love me tender, love me right, never let me go,” can be your wedding song too, and at [...]
With more than 110,000 couples getting married in Las Vegas every year, this is the wedding capital of the world and there’s no lack of unique places to tie the knot. While many opt for a simple civil service at city hall or one of the small, famous chapels on the Strip, ultra-extravagant and adventure-themed [...]
Not everything in Sin City is geared to excite our carnal curiosities and I have the evidence to prove it. Recently, I had the opportunity to create an iphone app detailing the best museums and exhibits in Las Vegas. When you consider that the population of the Las Vegas valley fluctuates around 1.5 million residents, [...]

Golden Gate – The Oldest Hotel in Las Vegas
Las Vegas came into being in 1905. Only a set of train tracks and some bad Mormon nightmares existed in this god-forsaken outpost mistakenly called, “the springs.” An auction took place in 1905 and a town came into being. Las Vegas was [...]
Another of Las Vegas’ most iconic signs belonged to the Silver Slipper Gambling Hall. Originally opened in 1950 on the Last Frontier property, it was named the Golden Slipper because the Silver Slipper name was already taken, but shortly after they opened, the Silver Slipper folded and the name moved to its new home on [...]
I’ve added 36 new images to my collection of what I consider to be some of the best neon signs and Hotel marquees. Some of them have been retired, some reside at the neon museum, and others are alive, vibrant, and luring customers into an endless mirage of luck and opportunity.
