One thing I’ve witnessed here in Las Vegas way too often is emergency vehicles getting gauntleted at intersections. It should be a reality show, except that real lives are on the line. Wait. That actually makes it better. Hunger Games, the sequel (Behind the Wheel).
If you live here, or visit here often, you see and you know. Updated movie title: The Gauntlet II.

Brunello is new. They opened about a month ago. We made a maiden visit to the nouveau-classic Italian eatery earlier this afternoon. Based on the high quality of food, reasonable pricing, and exquisite service, it will likely be the first of many more visits to come. Brunello was an absolute gem.

Here’s a photo I took yesterday of a massive apartment building under construction here in Las Vegas.

I woke up this morning and wrote this article in remembrance of the Tropicana for casinos.com. The famous now defunct casino will be imploded tonight on what’s known as the graveyard shift. How appropriate.
When it comes to Las Vegas and history, not much remains of the grid of famous boulevards and their original landmark locations that continue to blur the increasingly impersonal and dehumanizing latticework of where we live, work, and play.
The Hacienda — gone.
The Aladdin — gone.
The Sands — gone.
The Desert Inn — gone.
Now, those names are just congested streets.
And late tonight, the Tropicana too shall bite the dust, its crashing fall taking our memories along with it to be carried away by the wind.
Thanks to casinos.com for the platform to remember and share. And thanks to the Tropicana for serving as the host of so many memories.
