Howdy - before I head out to Vegas, I'm doing some stories for Examiner.com on the history of Nevada casinos. They would prefer two a week, so I'll be writing 'em up as I go. Take a look if you want to, each will have a short story and a photo of the property or something connected to it. AL

Photo: last year on the Gondola at Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July (as always). My daughter's a ham, not sure where she got that from.
