Did You Read This on the Internet?

I routinely read a lot on the Internet about gambling and Vegas.  Here are some of the interesting, funny, really weird, and maybe helpful stories that caught my attention:

This takes place in a show that advertises itself as “the world’s only 4D experience with a splatter zone”: http://evildeadvegas.com/wedding/   Weird?  Red blood on a white wedding dress?  Just saying….

    The article on the missing apostrophe fails to mention that it belongs after the s in Caesars, as in Caesars’ Palace.

    Your blog site used to have a list of recent comments, but now this feature is missing. It was very helpful to those of us who read not only your great blogs, but all the readers’ comments as well. Now we cannot tell whether new comments have been added (unless we are good at remembering numbers). Anyway, I wish it were back.
