The Revenge of the 80's Nancy Rayguns on Fremont Street

I was down on Fremont Street just walking around and happened upon the 3rd street stage just as the musice started.  The Nancy Rayguns were performing.  If the 80's was your decade and that is the music that makes up the sound track of your youth, then this is he band for you.   The Nancy Rayguns will help you with that flashback grasshopper and transport you to where you really long to be.  The show starts at 9:00 p.m. on the 3rd steet stage.

Like New Plaza Hotel will reopen in September

At the west end of Fremont Street anchoring the Fremont Street Experience is the Plaza Hotel. It has been undergoing a 35 million dollar renovation. In June the held a job fair to fill over 700 positions. No one can remember when the hotel was updated last. So it was due. The room furnishing came at a bargain in that they were slated for the stalled Fontainebleau project. More lounges have been added and the entire casino has been gutted and replaced. I've heard that you can get a room for about $44 a night. Great deal for a brand new Vegas Hotel

New Night Spot Insert Coin Opens on Fremont Street

There exists a new night spot on Fremont Street in the downtown area of Las Vegas.   It can be found in the block just east of Las Vegas Blvd.  It is known as Insert Coin.  It's name is actually a reference to putting a coin in a video game.  This is an adult Las Vegas version of a Video arcade.  The environment is lounge like.  With cozy niches where video game screens rotate to face cove like seats  for the gamers.  Drinking alcohol is an additional attraction to your arcade experience along with the dance floor and DJ that weaves in a club like feeling. Definitely a unique combination of experiences.  There was no cover charge to get in when last we checked.

Who are These Women and Why are They Tying That Guy to a Pole - Fremont Street

So I think that maybe there was a bachelor's party.  Sorry, my batteries died so I didn't get the whole show.

Fremont Street Impersonators From Elvis to Spock

Fremont Street has a lot to see.  There are street performers of all sorts.  Some of them are famous.  There's a sax player who has been on the street for many years and does very well.  There are also a number of celebrity impersonators.  Some impersonators are far better that others. They are all present for your photo opportunity. These people pose for the donations. This is simply a small sample. There was also Superman, Batman, a Playboy Bunny, and several others. Those photographs didn't turn out great. For my own money the most realistic was Spock. Then again I'm a Star Trek Fan. The Dark Angel in the arms of Elvis is also a unique visual image. Elvis, the Dark Angel and the Ample Lady certainly were the most requested while I was there.

Binion's Casino - Poker's Hallowed Ground

If you are a Jazz musician, it Bourbon Street.  If you love Baseball its Cooperstown. If you are a Stock Trader its Wall Street.  If you are a poker player then its Binion's.  Binion's is where the World Series of Poker began.  Benny Binion also started the Poker Hall of Fame.  The current popularity of poker is attributed to the World Series of Poker and Chris Moneymaker's victory at Binion's.

Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, Tom McEvoy, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Jr., Huck Seed, Scotty Nguyen, are just of few of the player who made names for themselves winning the WSOP at Binion’s.  The WSOP as we know it began in 1970.  It remained at Binion's until 2005. 

The Casino has seen its fair share of troubles.  Benny Binion was indeed a full on mobster.  He lost his license to run a Casino and his kids took it over.  They made a movie about.  The Casino was eventually closed by the Gaming Commission and then purchased by Harrah's Gambling, who took over the World Series of Poker, the trade mark Horseshoe, and the Poker Hall of Fame.  The Casino is currently up and running and has a series of poker tournament everyday.  In addition the poker room has live games available 24/7.

It just seems to me that if you are a poker player and you are in Las Vegas, then you must make a pilgrimage to Binion's to play and walk the halls where so many poker player got there claim to fame.
