New Year's Fireworks return to Las Vegas rooftops |

photo by flipchip • lasvegasvegas.com 2008 New Year's fireworks light up the top of the Stratosphere Tower
The fireworks are back! The fireworks are back!
Not that they actually went anywhere, but New Year's Eve last year was decidedly unspectacular because of the decision to move the fireworks to the ground instead of their usual hotel rooftop location.
Based mostly on Monte Carlo's burning rooftop earlier in the year, extra safety precautions led switching the pyrotechnics away from the rooftops and onto the tops of parking garages -- making it difficult to see unless you were overhead.
But now they're back, with seven hotel-casino passing new safety guidelines in order to launch synched fireworks... |

Stripper mobile no longer running |

We didn't think we'd live to see the day where a Las Vegas promotion was deemed to risque.
A couple weeks ago, a truck for the Deja Vu gentlemen's club was refurbished to include windows on the sides, along with a pole in the middle.
The traveling vehicle would drive in traffic between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., and it contained strippers dressed in bikinis on that pole, dancing along their merry way.
We honestly can't think of a better promotion for a strip club.
It was somewhat of a safety hazard, but Deja Vu was cleared because it acted as transportation for hire, and the women could hold onto the poles.
The stripper truck drew a lot of publicity (both good and bad) but ultimately was deemed a safety risk, not just for the women but because of passersby who may be drawn to the truck at the risk of a red light, for example.
To see a video of the truck in happier times, visit

Casinos are in full swing with greater offers to players. Even we locals are getting free room offers. Assuming we'll be starting to dig ourselves out of this economic rut, we advise you to take advantage of the offers while you can.
