I have a friend! I’ve known him ever since he first stepped out on the stage of the Sahara Hotel (the original) as the opening act for a young lady by the name of Nancy Sinatra in 1973. Some say you can’t create magic, but Bob Anderson has proved otherwise. His ‘tribute’ to Frank Sinatra […]

There are a bunch of Pardee built homes in the Southwest part of Las Vegas (Spring Valley) where at one time this reporter spent a number of great days racing around on a very-special racetrack.
