Basics Of Betting | From The US Presidential Election To Baseball

My contacts at TravelZork have been following some write-ups I do about betting on the US Presidential election. I follow the odds of the betting markets more closely than the incessant polls. The betting markets aren’t concerned about personal opinion. Sure there are fans of one candidate or the other who likely make a wager […]
Sunday News | Holiday Edition With Mostly Vegas Hotel News

There was a lot of hotel news last week but not all of it is relevant to your visits to Las Vegas. With that in mind, let’s start with the hotel news that actually matters in the near future.

Chasing Macau | Part 2 | Opening Night – And What A Joint It Is – Wynn Palace Cotai

And What A Joint It Is — Amazingly, once you got by the initial rush of folks wanting to enter it was rather calm. The entrance I used had a lovely hallway past the VIP table games area, and the signature smell was amazing.
