The Wynn and Encore were too far north, away from the heart of the Strip. Those resorts became some of the most successful and glamorous along the Strip, but that hasn't stopped Oseland from hearing similar doubts about his latest endeavor — transforming the old Sahara into SLS Las Vegas.

    28 Apr 2012 | 2:01 am
    I was excited when I came here with my friend. But I was REALLY disappointed when I got home because the cashier guy gave me my friend's order. So I got all the pastries that I didn't want. This was almost a year ago, but I'm still pissed off. I guess this could happen if he was just keep chatting and not really paying attention. I had 3 egg tarts, choco covered strawberry and cream puff. I think the total was around $10.All the pastries were average. Not much to talk about. My fried ate the pastries I bought, she told me they weren't delicious. But I'm willing to go back and try the pastries…

    15 May 2012 | 1:13 pm
    A coalition of progressive groups have mailed the first of what they hope will be nine pieces against state Sen. John Lee, calling him "a millionaire who stands with the richest 1%, not the bottom 99%." The targeted mailer, posted at right, uses several Lee votes, including against a tenant rights bill co-sponsored by Speaker Barbara Buckley, to contrast him with their candidate, Patricia Spearman. The folks out to erase Lee are: ProgressNow Nevada Action, Nevada Conservation League, Planned Parenthood and IBEW. Also, MoveOn, PLAN Action and Sierra Club are assisting where they can. Other…

  • Clark County loses arbitration case with firefighter canned in sick leave scandal

    15 May 2012 | 12:14 pm
    Clark County did not prove that a firefighter the government terminated at the height of the sick abuse scandal abused his privileges, an arbitrator has ruled, potentially costing the folks on Grand Central Parkway a lot of money. Donald Munn's lawyer says the award could even up worth seven figures considering that the fired firefighter wants his job back with all benefits, too. Although the arbitrator said an email sent by Munn raised suspicions about the use of sick leave in the department, the county had no cause to fire him and did not meet the burden of proof. We had Munn and his…

    11 May 2012 | 8:34 pm
    HuffPost Women has a new campaign called “The Moment I Knew I Was a Woman, Not a Girl” in which users submit videos chronicling their exile from Girlville. It’s an interesting question, especially considering how dangerous it feels to be Living While Female these days. And it strikes to the core of gender, really. Because it begs the question: If puberty and sex organs are not what make you a woman (and I would argue that they are not), then what does? What act, what experience, what emotional moment is it that turns a person into a woman? In her book, Bossypants, Tina Fey…

    As if we weren’t already looking down the barrel of a barn-burner of a presidential campaign season, President Barrack Obama just raised the stakes today by becoming the first sitting US president to come out in favor of same-sex marriage rights. (Kinda makes Vice President Joe Biden’s pro-equality comments last week — however hackneyed by Will & Grace references — seem like a test-drive, huh?) And as this comes on the heels of the North Carolina vote (only 20 states offer any form of legal protection to LGBT couples), naturally it’s got GOP blowhards…

    Las Vegas bank owned (foreclosure) homes inventory is=714, short sales homes=1567 and non-distressed homes=2507 In the last blog I wrote that despite “Las Vegas real estate experts” prediction of more than a 10% price drop in 2012, I said the prices will increase more than 10% in 2012, it already did and is on the way to 20% appreciation. Why?  We still have the same number of underwater homes in Las Vegas and although unemployment has come down to 12% this is not enough to justify such price increases. These are the factors which these experts have based their prediction on and below…

Before I get into the statistics of Las Vegas residential real estate in 2012, I am going to discuss a few important factors that don’t necessarily show up in these numbers or news articles.  However let’s discuss the factors that these analysts account for.

Butler reported the contact and there ensued a congressional investigation into what became known as "the business plot," which was seemingly intended to set up fascist rule. Boulder City native Sally Denton has written a book, The Plots Against the President, that deals with the plot. We talked to her about the scheme -- and its echoes today.

Wynn landed a $70 million duplex penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton — what used to be the hotel’s grand ballroom. It’s more than 10,000 square feet and will incur $18,057 in monthly communal charges and $11,593 in taxes. It’s kind of a bargain, though. He haggled down from the asking price of…
