Las Vegas Sun Interactive

Whoa!

The Las Vegas Sun has a multimedia page utilizing some of the coolest technology I've seen on ANY website.

There is an interactive casino history map in which you click through the different decades and see the new buildings come and go. It's rockin technology. It also has hi-def videos of the history of Las Vegas broken down into decades from the 1900s on. Then there are the implosion videos. There's The Neon Boneyard, and also The Elvis Impersonators. In short its the best collection of Vegas Mutimedia put together on one web page that I've ever seen.

Las Vegas Logue

Las Vegas Logue is a very comprehensive Vegas travel site covering just about every angle of the City we love with countless tips, articles and suggestions. There is definitely something for everyone here.

There are some sites that scratch the surface of Las Vegas and only regurgitate the same stuff any Las Vegas aficionado already knows. LasVegasLogue is not one of those sites. It is incredibly comprehensive. It's surprising that I hadn't found it before during my exhaustive Vegas research but I guess today is their day.

What's Happening, Vegas?

What's Happening, Vegas? is a blog run by a couple of Vegas denizens- MercurialMike, and GroovesGirlVegas. There's a ton of stuff here and these two maniacs do frequent entertainment and To-Do event listings.

From Mercurial Mike's profile-
"Las aventuras de la vida en Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas!" "The vicissitudes of life in Las Vegas. Long live Las Vegas!" I live near Las Vegas but I'm definitely not a Vegas "insider." I like living here and any Vegas topic is fair game. I'm not out to impress anybody and am frequently guilty of substituting humor for substance."
