Restaurant Review: Echo and Rig (Tivoli Village in Summerlin)
One of the butcher cabinets at Echo and Rig. All meats are hand-craved on site.
Read MoreEcho and Rig is unlike any other restaurant in Las Vegas.
First, there’s that odd-sounding name, chosen (I was told) because the owners thought it had a nice ring. In a sense, the nonsensical name embodies the free-spirited and self-confident approach here to the entire dining experience — including food, drink, and service.
It’s best classified as a nouveau steakhouse, yet it also defies conventional description and expectation. On one hand, it’s a butcher shop, yet also offers an extensive salad and vegetarian menu. Its bar selection is top-notch (Abita Amber on tap!). Deserts are homemade. The staff knows and loves food. Bargain prices compared to what you’d pay elsewhere. What more could you ask?

Now I Know What a Sex Doll Feels Like
Read MoreGetting face fucked can’t possibly be more unpleasant than sitting in a dentist’s chair for six hours.
That’s right — six gum gobbing hours.
Yesterday, during an all-day dentist appointment, I had more bodily fluid drooling out of my mouth than a meth whore. It got so bad that at one point my jaws started to cramp up.
SIX HOURS IN A DENTIST CHAIR. THE HORROR!

‘Tis the Season? Christmas in August?
Read MoreWould someone please explain to me what’s going on?
Am I stuck inside a time machine?
Today, it was 106 degrees outside. One-oh-six. I haven’t lost a single dollar on the NFL regular season, yet. A few days ago, we went to a summer barbecue.
Of course, all this can mean only one thing.
It’s the Christmas season.
