I am over for a few days on my way to my brother's wedding in Chile. I had pretty much the best possible journey from Gatwick direct to Las Vegas. Arrived 2 hours before departure to tumble weed blowing across the check-in area rather than the usual total chaos.

Busy day in Vegas today. Walked a million miles and visited my wife's favorite shopping areas. If the hotel is attacked by terrorists today we'll be in good shape. There's about a million Marines in town for the Marine Corp Ball which took place tonight at Bally's, across the street from The Flamingo. Many of them are staying in our hotel and this evening as we left the place was crawling with men...

Had a long day today. Departed Petaluma in a steady drizzle at 6:30 for the 604 mile drive to Las Vegas. Made a few stops on the way for gas and food, and finally pulled into the parking lot at The Flamingo at 4:00 pm. Pretty much what I thought would happen, and there were no surprises along the way. We did a little sightseeing and shopping, per usual, and now it's time to crash for awhile. Here are...

I love big cities. I'd much rather ride a subway than sit on a beach. I love museums and cultural events, great restaurants and urban activity. New York is one of my favorites. If I had to live outside the US, I'd probably settle in London. I've been lucky enough to see Cairo, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, Chicago, Istanbul and much of the rest of the world. Great cities are complicated, charming, messy,...

Mark Thompson's salary package of £834,000 has become an uncomfortable political issue for the BBC director general, held up by the Tories as a potent symbol of the corporation's profligacy with public money. But it seems that for Thompson himself, even this generous sum may not be enough to cover the irritating little costs that go with the job. According to documents released by the BBC today,...

If all you knew of viral culture was a brief clip of an overweight child pretending to be a Jedi knight in his garage, or another of a pair of men in lab coats recreating the Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas with Diet Coke and Mentos, then you could be forgiven for thinking that going viral was a matter of sheer chance – that nobody could predict what would flourish on the internet, and what would...

[YouTube - Link] Reminiscent of the amazing musically coordinated fountains of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas the Burj Dubai fountains named “Dubai Fountains” certainly are impressive.

As you would expect, the world's tallest fountain is in Dubai. As you would expect, it's next to the world's tallest building. And as you would expect, it's as naff as everything else in there. The Dubai Fountain—which was recently finished by the Burj Dubai —can reach 492 feet up in the air. It was built for $217 million by WET Design, which is the same company that created the one at...

FTP's vs rakeback really confuse me at times, say for example: Joey leaves Chicago heading to Las Vegas at 6:55PM on Saturday night via O'Hare, for a WSOP event at the Bellagio on Sunday afternoon at 1:00PM. Joey brings along with him his HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop with a wi-fi connector. Tiffany, Joey's girlfriend, is planning on leaving Los Angeles Saturday morning at 8:00AM, via her Toyota
