Along with three of my friends, we headed for the Smith Center in downtown Las Vegas last week to see a friend perform in Myron’s Room. That’s the room where just about every local entertainer in our Village has performed at least once.. The first entertainer to open the room 10 years ago, and its […]
It’s that time of the when my heart begins to take that extra beat of energy, as the “Boys of Thunder” are heading towards the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Yep, NASCAR is back with a brand-new designed race car and a bunch of young chargers who are making some of the older drivers havin’ to […]
We (there was four of us) were part of a herd of media types who were ushered inside a new clubhouse, after spending a couple of minutes (actually nearly an hour of imbibing in our favorite beverage) as we waited to see what was new at the Strat. First off the bat there was one […]
The March 7 Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is sold out. Due to a limited-capacity requirement imposed by the Southern Nevada Health District, the speedway has reached its allowable threshold and no longer can sell tickets to the NASCAR Cup Series event. Tickets do remain for both the Alsco Uniforms 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series races on Saturday, […]
Well, gang the “Boys of Thunder” will be arriving this week, forsaking the annual “Parade of NASCAR Haulers on the Las Vegas Strip,” due to the Daytona 500 being moved to Monday afternoon, thereby making the cross-country journey running a wee bit to-tight for the parade. And since you already know where I’ll be I […]
The “Boys of Thunder,” and more than 116 Hauler Trucks, with at least two NASCAR race trucks, Infinity cars or Cup cars, plus spare parts tucked inside, are on the Interstate heading for one of their favorite racetracks, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, home of the Busch brothers, Kyle and Kurt, who will be competing this coming […]
It’s only two and a half weeks until the Boys of Thunder hit the 1.5 mile, high-banked-asphalt race track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located across the street (Las Vegas Boulevard) from Nellis Air Force Base. And, unlike the new Raider’s Stadium (under construction) the Speedway has a ton of parking spaces to handle […]
A group of 21 NASCAR drivers completed an historic organizational test with a sunny half-day session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday. In addition to single-car laps, drivers ran two more drafting sessions on the final day, racing at high speed around the 1.5-mile speedway in packs of up to 11 cars. NASCAR’s two-day […]
As many of my readers know I have been very fortunate over the 53 years I’ve been a resident of this village we live in. I’ve had the privilege to see some of the greatest entertainers in the world perform—from Frank Sinatra to Barbra Streisand to Pavarotti, you name the performer and at one time […]
I first met Marty Allen around 1957-58, not to sure exactly, but I do remember being at a Hollywood movie studio as a reporter when he and his partner, Steve Rossi, were signing a three-picture deal with the studio. It was big news at the time. Then I ran into the two of them, when […]
