They left "Bob Stupak's Vegas World" (now Stratosphere) off of the list.

First there was the "M". Now the "D". Only 24 letters left to choose from! Last time I went to Fitz. I went with some friends who were belittling me for only playing the nickel machines. When we left, they were both talking about what they had lost. I won maybe $40. They decided maybe my strategy was O.K.!

Does worst for flea markets mean there are too many of them? Or not enough? Most of us consider flea markets somewhat trashy.
As far as antiques go, I really enjoy "antiquing" in Las Vegas. One just has to know where to go and look. Plenty of choices, especially if you like old "Vegas memorabilia".
We rearely get bad service at restaurants in Las Vegas, but I tend to avoid buffets because of the rude customers (reaching into the shredded cheese with a bare at the taco bar is rude to me). There are certainly a lot of rude drivers in Las Vegas, but I'm from California where half of those rude drivers probably came from!

If the locations that toursts are likely to frequent are struggling (Strip, Downtown) the locations off the beaten path are certainly going to fare even worse. When someone like me chooses to stay off of the strip at a Station, Sams Town, etc., It is to save money on the room cost vs. the strip. Something the above resorts do not offer.

Dennis, While there will likely be a lot of Harleys at the auction, like the Scottsdale car auctions, This event will cater to collectors of vintage or rare motorcycles, not a "New Harley" which is readily available at your local dealer. I guarantee that any vintage indian, Harley or Vincent in the sale will draw plenty of interest (and money) from buyers. I'd love to go, just to see the vintage bikes and learn a little about then!

They've been shaking down unsuspecting victims for a couple of years, now that the shoe is on the other foot, these unsavory types refuse to pony up. Court orders are court orders. One would think they would keep a date book or have it in their phone, so they don't forget. The times I've had to go to court (jury duty), I never "thought it was friday". Time for the court to repo their cars and auction them off to pay their debts. If that isn't enough, back a moving van up to their house!

The shoe is definately on the other foot now.
It would be nice to see those who "settled" to sue for 10x or 100x damages. Obviously the corporation set up for this will have no cash for the taking, but the money is there outside the corporate veil.
Good luck Y'all.

Dennis, every once in awhile you and I agree on something. This is one of those times!
I find it amazing that people actually will follow a "celebrity" D.J.
How much does one have to charge for entry when the "celebrity gets $500,000? Are people required to buy "bottle service" to pay for it? My NYE will be spent at the house, maybe playing cards with the family or some other exciting activity!

A friend of mine had a very similar store in Bakersfield 20 years ago. For several years we could count on a nice big tin of flavored popcorn for Christmas. I think they had 25 or 30 different flavors. They were opened for several years until the mall priced them out of business at lease renewal. That same mall is now more like a run down indoor swap meet after the majors all pulled out (or went bankrupt). Next time we're in Vegas, we may stop in. The hot wing flavor sounds appealing.

Their location helps and hurts them. Too far from the "strip action", but very great location for the convention business. How much of their business comes from people who use the Hilton reservation system, surely that has been a big plus for them.
The place is not particularly great or bad. Decent place, lots of history. Surely many will still call it the Hilton for years to come, especially since the LVH name will make people assume that it is.
Good luck to them.
