The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Caesars)
“Once upon a time, Caesars Palace was the Gucci of gambling. Now, it’s K-Mart.”
This is outrageous. Truly mind-boggling.

WATCHING SPORTS ON TELEVISION
[Disclaimer: Watching sporting events — indeed, watching television at all — is mostly a waste of time. However, let’s move past that and talk about ways to maximize watching spectator sports on television.]
I can’t watch sports the way I used to anymore. Remember the old days when we used to turn on the TV, watch the entire game from start to finish, sit through all the commercials, and were pretty much captive to whatever the networks spoon-fed us? Well, it’s different now. We’re in control. We have the power.

TACOS AND TEQUILA (PALACE STATION)
We had no plans whatsoever to eat Mexican food for lunch yesterday, but when we saw the sign out in front — “2 lunches, 1 appetizer for $30” and “2 for 1 margarita special” — well, they had me at “get your ass in here.”
A surprising discovery: Tacos and Tequila used to be inside the main atrium at the Luxor, until the corporate fun killers raised the lease so high that only the big chains can compete, and so after disappearing from the Las Vegas landscape for a couple of years, they found a new home inside Palace Station, which has undergone a major renovation. We used to enjoy the old Luxor location many years ago, so this was an instant “table for two” change of plans. T&T deserves far more love, and more customers. I hope spreading the word might help.
Read MoreA Pro Tip for All Sports Gambling Analysts
Let me address all the sports gambling experts out there.
Your “analysis” is pretty much worthless unless you also tell us WHY you like a pick. It’s that simple.
I want to hear your REASONING. I need to know if you UNDERSTAND what you’re talking about. I must hear IN YOUR OWN WORDS what compels you to make a pick. If your analysis is solid, then it has value to an audience.
Otherwise, your pick is a waste of time.
