Battle Royal From Vegas Tripping

This from Chuckmonster at VegasTripping

Here's how Chuck describes it-
"The idea behind Battle Royale - pitting casinos against each other based on ratings and reviews added to MyVegas Faves - has been rattling around in my head for about a year or so. The point is to add a fun twist to the process of "comparing" joints and have the results of the bouts be mathematically generated based on the opinions of fellow VT readers."

Trippies 08 : Webcast This Saturday Night!

VegasLinks.Blogspot.com (this here blog) was nominated in the 2008 Trippie Awards Best Of Vegas For 2008 in the category Best Vegas Blog. Although we're not worthy, the old cliche is very much in effect-It really is an honor just to be nominated. There are many many fantastic Vegas Blogs, a big part of what I try to do is to bring them to you to fill that nagging Vegas itch that never goes away til you get there.

Chuckmonster from VegasTripping brings the annual awards to the masses each year. This Saturday night January 3, 2009 7:11 Pacific Time/10:11 Eastern Time. Log on for the Live webcast and join the fun.

Encore Opening

Two of the better (if not best) Vegas website operators Hunter Hillegas and Chuckmonster have unveiled EncoreOpening.

Encore Opening is a website that continually refreshes with a gazillion photos and planned coverage of the sister property to Steve Wynn's signature Wynn Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

There is a countdown timer and tons and tons of current pictures with more to come.

We've been Nominated For Best Vegas Blog!!!!! Place your votes!

Okay, Okay now that I've gotten past my incredible feeling of excitement let me now say that I'm incredibly honored to be included in the category for Best Blog for the 2008 Trippies.

It's great that some of you think I have a great site and provide useful content to satisfy a part of your Vegas jones.

Now I would just like to say for the record I don't deserve to win this category and probably should not gather a scant 5% of the votes for best Vegas Blog.

While I love my blog and think it is among the best in jumping off points for any person researching Vegas, there are other nominees in this category that put in a ton more work on their Vegas Blogs and are many times more knowledgeable about all things Vegas.

My passion for Vegas knowledge runs incredibly deep and I consider myself a student of some of the other nominees and am thankful to even be mentioned in the same list with them.

Thanks go to every or anyone that was responsible for nominating me in the first place- Joey

and now- WOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm enjoying my moment! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Vegas Gang Podcast

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Another podcast baby!

This one is a collaboration of some very knowlegable new and old media Vegas folks headed and run by the venerable Hunter Hillegas and joined by David McKee from Las Vegas Advisor, Chuck Monster from VegasTripping.com, Dave Schwartz from the DieIsCast.com, and Jeff Simpson who writes for the Las Vegas Sun & In Business Las Vegas.

These guys dig in to the nuts and bolts of Casino design, Vegas Casino business, and a whole slew of topics relating to the city we all love. This is not so much a laugh fest like the This Ain't Iowa or Five Hundy By Midnight Podcast. It's more serious in tone and delivered with a businesslike attitude.

The podcast is done bi-weekly and the guest this week will be Christina Binkley, the author of 'Winner Take All'

Hunter Hillegas is the man behind RateVegas.com and the Two Way Hard Three Vegas Blog.
