The Cranes Are Back! Resorts World Las Vegas Gets Busy

January 19, 2018 by Mark Anthony

Resorts World Las Vegas

When I first moved to Las Vegas in 2001, there were more construction cranes in the Las Vegas skyline than anywhere else in the western hemisphere. Seriously! Many other cities were complaining that they could not get major construction projects in their cities started because nobody could find building cranes. Sheldon Adelson was building the Venetian, he was smart, he bought … [Read more...] about The Cranes Are Back! Resorts World Las Vegas Gets Busy

Review: Legends Holiday Show

December 1, 2017 by Mark Anthony

Review: Legends Holiday Show

When I received the invite to the Legends in Concert Holiday Show, I wasn't sure what to think.  I'm not a big fan of Vegas holiday shows where they take a normally good show and turn it into a 90-minute rehash of some old Christmas show we see every year on late night cable stations. Except Legends is not your ordinary Las Vegas show.  It's a throwback to old Vegas … [Read more...] about Review: Legends Holiday Show

A Day at Lonnie Hammargren’s Home – Nevada Day

October 31, 2016 by Mark Anthony

There is no real and polite way to describe Dr. Lonnie Lee Hammargren' home.  Actually, it's three homes together.  Just like there is no real way to describe Dr. Hammargren himself without using the words "unique" or "special". He is truly a state treasure. The 78-year-old former Vietnam flight surgeon, former NASA flight surgeon, former Nevada Lieutenant Governor.  He has … [Read more...] about A Day at Lonnie Hammargren’s Home – Nevada Day
