Every year the readers of the city’s biggest newspaper send in their picks for their favorite this and that, which are tallied up and later released as the winners of the “Best of Las Vegas” awards. Here’s my reaction to several categories.
Note: Lots of profanity in the video.
Give me props.

Of course, I’m talking about the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s annual “Readers’ Poll.” Every year the readers of the city’s biggest newspaper send in their picks for their favorite this and that, which are tallied up and later released as the winners of the “Best of Las Vegas” awards.

Hooray!
