I enjoy walking around the venetian, walking around the forum shops, and New York New York.

I want to check out old Vegas.

Not sure exactly where it's located but there's an old lot out there full of all the old school casino signs. Pretty cool place if you have an interest in this history of the city.

New Orleans is the East coast version of Vegas. I was there in January and got there on a Sunday. By Tuesday morning I hated my life.

Alcohol poisoning?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

That does sound really pimpin'.

The funny bit is that there I was in this huge suite (the master bathroom was the size of a regular hotel room) like some kind of high roller, then I'd go down and white-knuckle it at the $25 dollar tables. . .

That sounds cool.

We went to the Pawn Stars shop, I was shocked at how small of a store that is. On TV it looks like a decent size, but in person it's super small.

I went to a party at the Las Vegas Country Club, which is where the FBI plane landed in the movie Casino, but in real life, it crashed into a pond on the golf course. They've got a pitcher in the clubhouse of the plane sitting in the pond.

That place changes so quickly I'm sure it's a lot different in some places I remember compared to when I lived there 7+ years ago. Like there's this great deli called Sienna. When I was there it was in this little store. Since then they moved into a much bigger building.

No shit? Too damn funny. I never went into the LVCC though.

Put any other current NBAer instead of LeBron on the Cavs & I'm not sure they even make the playoffs.

Yep, not the skinny twerp Curry or the man of many accounts Durant.

Yeah they seem to always be building new things and renovating old things. Always seem to be construction going on.

For the regular season Casey should get COY consideration. Best record in the conference.

When he had the only healthy team

Something is always being built or worked on out there. Do you know if they have started the new stadium for the Raiders yet?

I thought I deleted that comment? Anyway. Yeah why not? He shouldn't get penalized for that.

Is it really great coaching that your team can out play the other contenders when the have half their starters?

"Construction crews have been conducting preliminary work on the stadium site since November. With access to the $750 million public contribution to the project in the weeks ahead, Mortenson Construction and McCarthy Building crews will begin to pour foundations and prepare work on the massive tray for the natural-grass field that will slide in and out of the stadium.

Construction is due to be completed by the summer of 2020 in time for that year’s NFL season"

Then who do you give the award to? A coach that led an injury riddled team to a 40 something win total? I don't think it matters though. I think Stevens has a better shot @ the award than Casey.

Thanks for the info. There will be something cool about calling your team the Sin City Raiders.

I'm staying the course.

Was an LA Raiders fasn.

Oakland Raiders fan.

And a Las Wages Raiders fan.

I think Stevens is a better coach than Casey. I'd give it to him or D'Antoni. And if the Knicks had gotten 40 wins with that roster, it should have been Hornacek. Best coaching job isn't necessarily the team in first.
