The floating ice rink has arrived at Lake Las Vegas!
It’s no Rockefeller Center, though - the rink can only hold up to 60 skaters at a time. The rink uses 110 five-gallon buckets of water and a 12,000-pound chiller unit to help keep the ice cold.
The floating ice rink will be open until Feb. […]

I was fortunate to be able to receive a copy of Historic Photos of Las Vegas from Turner Publishing. It’s a beautiful hardcover book with a very full 200 pages.
This isn’t a textbook - it’s chock full of pictures and captions and very few of them are ones I’ve seen before and both I […]

Another piece of Vegas history was blown away this morning as the Atrium tower of the New Frontier hotel and casino was imploded at 2am to make way for a New York-inspired Plaza Hotel.
