Sunday News | Vegas Travel, Business, Tech, Sigma Derby And More
Sunday News had a short break from the action. As a writer, the lack of news was a nice break from the usual week in Las Vegas. However, I knew the following week would be different when I saw a few new rumors shortly after we posted last week. Unlike last week, there’s a lot of news so let’s just get to it.

Sunday News | More Vegas Restaurants and New Vegas Fees For You
I look forward to writing Sunday News because there has been something interesting happening every week since TravelZork launched. Having said that, last week might have been the slowest news week in Las Vegas in a while. A few restaurants opened, a new residency launched and I just learned about a new fee to hit Las Vegas.
Las Vegas | Dinner At Rx Boiler Room Was Over Before It Started (In A Good Way)
There are times when I go out to eat and don’t have the intention of writing a review of the experience. Sometimes a nice meal is best kept among the diners. That was the plan when I visited Rx Boiler Room at Mandalay Bay.

Previously, I covered the steps that led me to consider my first cruise and the education I received trying to navigate my way through the complex process of booking a cruise without destroying my wallet. Cruise Hacking has proved to be a whole new animal with some elements of Airline and Hotel Hacking, but with a whole new vocabulary to learn.

Sunday News | Las Vegas Raiders, Rumors, Restaurants and Shows
Sunday News this week will be a little shorter than usual. I’m dealing with complications of a high toilet and it’s making me cranky this morning. Visit squattypotty.com to understand the issues. Fun fact, I’m sitting by myself at the 3535 Bar at The Linq and laughing out loud as I write this. Anyway, on […]
Testing Caesars Comp Drink Monitoring System In Las Vegas
Caesars Comp Drink Monitoring I recently met up with a friend who was staying at The Linq and wanted to watch football. After checking into the hotel we didn’t get out to catch the games until noon or so. This was when the 2nd half of most of the early games were beginning. The second half […]
Sunday News | New Las Vegas Logo, New Hotels, Maybe Bruno Mars and Matt Goss
Las Vegas has its first new logo since 1979! A representative of Las Vegas says that the goal was to create a logo that is iconic, timeless, progressive, modern, fresh and exciting with a nod to the glamorous era of yesterday…..

Cruise Hacking | A Newbie’s Guide – Part 2
Previously, I had gotten as far as the Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) website where I was met by some really confusing and vague language about how much cruise my money would buy. I had picked out a 7-day cruise on the 2nd newest ship in their fleet, the Norwegian Getaway, and it looked like I […]
