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."

Las Vegas Idiot

Las Vegas Idiot is a picture blog from a man on the streets in Las Vegas.

The site is updated frequently and the quality of the photo's are fantastic.

From the site-

"Welcome To LasVegasIdiot.com!

A Las Vegas Blog by a man who used to have too much time on his hands, and now does not have enough.

Readers from RoyVegas.blogspot.com will probably be pleased with what I expect to produce here. An unslick Las Vegas blog by someone who actually lives here.

There is plenty of polished garbage about Las Vegas available on the internet, and on bookstore shelves. Material which lacks passion, and fairly often, accuracy as well.

This site is not primarily a resource for obtaining information about Las Vegas showtimes, and other such trivial information. Let the free magazines which are available on registration desks screw that up.

Instead, LasVegasIdiot.com is a product of both passion and idiocy.

As time goes on, there will be posts about expected major events, such as implosions, as well as posts about garbage in the street.

Just because something is insignificant, does not mean that it has no interest value.

You are thinking about Las Vegas. I am blogging about Las Vegas.

A perfect match."

VegasRy Podcast Blog

Someone sent me this link to the VegasRy podcast. Its from the perspective of a couple of guys both named Ryan and their misadventures in Vegas.

Also on their website there are reviews of hotels, casinos, nightclubs, shows, books and restaurants. The site is very clean looking and easy to navigate. I always appreciate a cleanly designed website (much unlike mine, lol).

From their site-"Ryan Morris and Ryan Johnson have been to Las Vegas more times than we can remember (literally), and started VegasRy.com as an outlet for all our thoughts, reviews and news we run across. Our goal is to create the most helpful and fun Vegas-related destination on the Net. We welcome and encourage thoughts, suggestions, or any other feedback as we endeavor to develop and maintain the best Vegas site out there."

One comment- To state you want to "develop and maintain the best Vegas site out there" is pretty ballsy, considering some of the great sites out there already, but I say go for it. I can never get enough Vegas info and I love getting that perspective from young hip folks.
