Could the new SLS Las Vegas be the latest casino flop, a la Atlantic City’s Revel?

g2e2014

Day One at the 2014 Global Gaming Expo — otherwise known by the trifecta of letters “G2E” — included the following activities: 145 handshakes, 12 hugs, two kisses, 35 conversations, two meetings, one lunch, one dinner, 4 glasses of draft beer, 1.5 bottles of wine, 3 seminars, one question to a panel, and a brief argument with someone who works for the American Gaming Association.

Where Should I Watch Monday Night Football?

espn-mnf-00 (1)

I dislike sports bars.

Loud obnoxious pricks. Bimbo waitresses. Bad service. Shitty food. Lousy drinks. Constant noise. Fanboy fantasy football jokers fist-pumping every time some tight end catches a 6-yard pass completion. It’s fucking torture.
