I don't know if I'm wrong in assuming it's been removed...probably because it had a link attached...or for some other reason. Sorry for breaking any rules of this blog (that I didn't realize I was violating). I'll remain quiet from now on. No need to respond.

I have a lot to say about this subject but am holding myself back from commenting. I might be too biased from too much time spent behind the wheel of a cab. Instead I'll mention some writing that I feel sums up Las Vegas extremely well. Just two weeks ago I just found out about a website called Yelp.com....where common people give reviews about nearly every thing a person can think of: restaurants, tattoo parlors, casinos, nightlife, hotel rooms, ad infinity. Tonight I just read 56 of the most brilliant, insightful and funny reviews on the city in general...from locals and tourists. If anyone wants to read some really good (pro & con) views on Las Vegas, scan this one section of Yelp.com. http://www.yelp.com/biz/las-vegas-las-vegas-2 (I'm not sure if URLs post on this blog....but if they do...the page is shown above). If not, just go to Yelp Com and type in 'Las Vegas'. It's a good reference source for writers, researchers, and anyone in the casino industry. Maybe you already know about this Yelp thing. It's new to me though...and I felt was worth commenting about. These unvarnished reviews, from the twenty-something crowd, are hilarious and as honest as I've ever seen.
