Whoever has heard of Las Vegas, automatically terms it together with the word gambling; and yes they go hand in hand. Las Vegas is known as one of the casino capitals of the world today with some of the biggest names and hotels found rights here on the Las Vegas strip. Each casino has a different tweak to it and if you stick to just one in Las Vegas, you’re missing the point.

We’ll start with some of the most famous resorts in Las Vegas and which better one to pick than the MGM Grand. If you’re looking for the largest resort combined with the largest casino in Vegas, you’ve hit home. Thousands of slot machines and video poker, hundreds of tables with anything from blackjack to baccarat and a 22 table poker room with the best service in the town all await you when you step onto the floors.

Next we’ll step into one of the most high class resorts in Vegas, Mandalay Bay. With over a 130,000 square foot casino floor, this casino is quite unlike any other. With tons of “live action” tables, you’re more than likely to find your preferred game of choice. Play amongst the lush tropical settings and feel the calm relaxed atmosphere consume you as you sip on one of their famous cocktails. Mandalay Bay even offers poker lessons daily for the starter gambler absolutely free of charge.

The Bellagio is said to have paved the way for the concepts of the newer casinos today. With its unbelievably stylish interior and ultimate comfort settings, you’ll feel like you’re “rolling” with royalty. The Legendary “Bobby’s Poker Room” is found in this sophisticated casino, which supposedly are hands down the most elite of Vegas. But if you’re not a super high roller and don’t fuss over the big names, The Bellagio has a spectacular selection of over 2000 slot machines, tables and poker rooms to tingle your senses.

If you’re looking for casinos off the Las Vegas strip, then head downtown for the Golden Nugget. Winner of awards such as the luckiest casino and best casino, this 38,000 sq.ft casino offers you everything from table games like Caribbean Stud and Pai-Gow to what seems to be and endless flow of slot machines.

Another casino to try out would be Gold Coast. This casino has the usual table games and slot machines but what makes it a unique casino destination would be its huge BINGO! Game. Be cautious though for first timers coming here, you’ll be surprised what the old ladies would do to shove you out of their way in their race toward the bingo hall.By: Orson Johnson

An Open Question – Who Should Wear Low Rise Jeans?

October 17th, 2009
posted by admin 8:10 pm



There really should be a law! We’ve all seen them. This newer style of jeans, that from the knee down resemble any other style of jeans that have been around for years. But, go above the knee and these jeans stop just short of where the other jeans call the waistline. On some people they look great, accenting a great body and are age appropriate. In other instances however, well let’s be kind here and say that the outcome is far less attractive. Which brings me to the question (and the question that we have all asked in our heads), ‘who should wear low-rise jeans’?

To me the answer is obvious: Women who have the body for it. But how do you know if you have the what it takes to pull it off? The first red flag would be, that if when trying on a pair of low-rise jeans you say to yourself ‘I’m just not sure about this’? Take them off! If you are going to walk around in public in the sexy things you must first have the confidence to make it work. Nothing is worse than a woman wearing a hot pair of low-rise jeans and covering them up with an extra long t-shirt. Case in point: If you’ve got it, flaunt it. And if you don’t got it, keep it covered up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that nobody wants to see their Grandma strutting around in a pair of low-rise jeans either. I’m not saying that just because you are a grandparent you can’t look great. But unless it is ‘Silver Singles Night’ down at the bingo hall, keep your midriff behind a cosy wool cat sweater. And just because you are between the ages 18 and 40 doesn’t make it alright to sport a pair of low-riser’s either. We have all seen the young woman around town, walking around like she owns the place. We have also seen her not-so flat ab’s, and her no-so-covered-up butt-crack as well. This should be outlawed! Just because your friends say you look great, doesn’t mean that you do. You, and only you, should know if you can look sexy in a pair of low-rise jeans. F.Y.I. low-rise jeans were created to draw attention the body, and some people are better off keeping the attention pointed elsewhere. (you know who you are).

My final point would be this: Do the world a favour and wear low-rise jeans, if and only if, you know for sure that you look super-sexy-hot in them. But please, do not even attempt to wear them if there is the slight chance that you will cause people to become nauseous, offended, scared, make babies cry or have mirrors shatter in your presence. With just the right amount of common sense, we should never have to ask who should wear low-rise jeans. It’s a no-brainer.

Bingo – The History of Britain’s Favourite Flutter

October 8th, 2009

The roots of Bingo can be traced way back to the year 1530, when an Italian, state run lottery called “Lo Gioco del Lotto d’Italia” first began. Over a century later, the French adopted a similar game, one version of which used a playing-card grid of numbers. A caller would reach into a bag and draw out wooden tokens which were marked 1 – 90, and the first player to cover over all the numbers on their card would be marked the winner. This was the first lottery-style bingo game to be seen, the craze spread and soon was very popular all over Europe.

The Bingo that we know today was developed during the late ’50s and early ’60s and its growth is linked with the introduction of television (in particular ITV) which had a damaging effect on cinema ticket sales, as more people could now watch news and other shows from the comfort of their own home. This meant that cinema owners needed to create a new attraction, something that would draw people from the TV set and back to the cinema. That something was Bingo.

To begin with, Bingo was only played on certain days of the week when films were not being shown, but the cinema owners soon found that these ‘Bingo nights’ were much more popular than then film nights, and so they devoted more and more time to the game – eventually phasing out films altogether. Conversion of cinemas to Bingo halls was a pretty simple task, involving taking out the screen, installing bingo apparatus, removing tiered seating and adding new tables and chairs.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Bingo exploded across the country and almost every town had at least one Bingo hall. The game’s popularity went further than just being a numbers game; people came not only to play Bingo [http://www.galabingo.co.uk], but also to socialise, have a meal and a drink, and catch up on gossip.

As the game’s popularity grew, a whole new language evolved along side it, all related to the game and its rules, most famously, the nicknames of the Bingo numbers that callers use. For example, a caller might say “Tony’s Den, number ten”, or “All the fives, fifty five”. Many of the terms are simply rhyming slang; others are based on the shapes of the numbers, for example, number 22, is also called “Two Little Ducks”, because the shape of number two is similar to that of a duck’s neck. Other nicknames are based on popular culture, for example “The Beatles Number” for 64, simply because of their well know hit “When I’m 64″.

Though bingo clubs have struggled to attract the numbers they did during their hey-day, the new generation of online bingo players has appeared, and with them, the age-old game enters a new, phase of its long history.By: Andrew Regan
