The Genesis Medical Spa in Reno has been ”robbed” of Botox treatments a few times so far. The “bandits” are middle-aged women that are obsessed with looking young at 40, and will stop at nothing to get their Botox fix.

You see a young pretty thing walking about, with a bit of a stiff smile and wondering expression, don’t be fooled. It might just be one of the B.B’s. The “script” they’re using is pretty basic: a wealthy, well dressed lady walks in, gets expensive Botox treatments and skin-care products, and then pretends to have forgotten her credit card in the car or walks out to make an important phone call. And then swiftly takes off.

We all know about the R.R’s - Restaurant Robbers - using the same excuses to dodge the bill after having indulged in a hefty meal. Just a week ago I was in a Chinese restaurant where a big party of people (around 10) simply left without paying the bill. A bunch of angry Chinese ran out after them, yelling and cursing funny Chinese words.

Is this what the world’s coming to? We all need a lot more shrinks in here, please! I say, if you’re going to jail for stealing and end up on the front page of the newspaper, at least go rob a bank or something. They will catch you, make no mistake, but at least you won’t go down in history as “the old lady that stole some Botox”.

PRO’s

• Cheap food, if you’re in the mood for Chinese but don’t want to spend a lot of money
• Several locations, easy to find and reach
• Small place, more suitable for take-out but pretty confy if you’d rather sit at a booth and eat there
• Not crowded, usually you don’t have to wait in line to get your food
• Fast service, I got my food in a few minutes
• Pretty friendly Chinese staff
• The choices of food are very interesting and diverse, ranging from Moo Shu Chicken or Beef, General Chicken, Egg Foo Young, Wonton Soup, Crab Rangoon, to Chop Suey
• They have lunch specials, from 11 AM to 4 PM, you can get egg drop soup, fried rice, Lo Mein noodles and your choice of meat or vegetables for around $6
• They have family specials
• Vegetarian specialities and seafood
• They deliver

CON’s

• The place looks more like a fast-food, pretty small, not really a restaurant atmosphere. More suitable for a quick lunch, take-out or delivery
• You get what you pay for: a quick Chinese meal, just like Panda’s or any other Chinese fast food. Don’t expect anything special, like an authentic Chinese atmosphere
• The lunch specials are small (but still worth the $6) 
• It’s a place for locals more than tourists, located off the Strip, you’d have to take at least 2 buses to get there from a hotel

Overall, I’d say it’s a good deal to eat there if you’re in the neighbourhood and in mood for Chinese.

Here are some pictures I took in the Sahara location:

      A drunk giraffe was seen earlier today on the Strip, blocking the traffic in front of Caesar’s Palace.  She is thought to have gambled all her money away and, in despair, drank a whole bottle of Jack.

   He came to Vegas to celebrate his bachelor party, and after a few shots of Cuervo he said “One tequila, two tequila, three tequila….toilet”. Poor guy wanted to pee so bad, but he passed out before even unzipping his pants.

    We all know when you get drunk you perceive reality differently. John, a Las Vegas local, was seen Tuesday night in Pure hitting on a smoking hot lady. Or was she?

That’s all the gossip news for today. Check back soon!

     Bush came to Vegas to party incognito, trying to pass himself off as a rapper.

   The chicken came to Vegas too, and ended up with a Tecate beer can stuck up his arse. He found out Vegas is not an appropriate city for chicken, and that Mexicans have a weird sense of humour.

     Rare footage of Bugs Bunny in Vegas. After a large dose of Scooby snacks, Bugs jumped on stage and started stripping (those pictures not suitable for the human eye).

 More shocking news from Vegas to come soon.

This is your primary source of celebrity gossip! What happens in Vegas gets posted here first.

Until next time, watch your back! I might be behind you with a camera

        1.   Clothes are important, but most people don’t really care (or know) if you have designer clothes on, that cost thousands of dollars, or cheap imitations that just look the same. Go to Premium Outlets, any other mall, or other cheaper off-Strip stores (you can even find very nice suits and jackets at Savers, very very low prices). Another place that has cheap clothes, shoes and accessories is Ross, and it’s conveniently located on the Strip, right next to Peppermill Fireside Lounge. They have a nice choice of evening gowns, skirts, and even designer shoes like Kenneth Cole at very good prices. You have to have a nice outfit for your VIP night out!

        2.   Plan a few days ahead at least. Invite your friends, rent a limousine together. The more the merrier (and cheaper). Decide on a club you want to go to and look into the prices, they all offer packages that include VIP admission, limo ride, table reservations and bottle service. If you find their prices to high, look for a cheaper independent limo service to pick you and your friends up, and don’t buy the package. Also you might want to consider making a party compilation CD for your limo driver, to put everybody in the mood on your way to the club.

        3.   Make table reservations ahead, to make sure you and your friends will have a place to sit down at. Even if it’s not in the VIP section, you will have just as much fun at any table. Just remember, you are on a low budget, but as soon as you walk into that club all dressed up and looking fabulous , who’s gonna care?

        4.    For sure you don’t want to pay lots of money to get in, or wait in the long line. You’re a VIP. You can very easily get a VIP pass from many of the promoters out there. Usually they hang around outside the casinos, handing out passes for free. Another thing you can do is go in a nightclub, at the end of the night, when you leave, they will give you some free VIP passes for different clubs. Then you can plan your VIP night at one of those clubs you already have tickets for. Now with this VIP pass you won’t have to pay to get in, but you’ll still probably have to stay in line. If you’re a group of girls, with no guys, the bouncers will most likely let you in for free right away. If not, you can try to each contribute with some money, make one of the pretty girls in the group go to the bouncer, hand him a 20, and show him the VIP passes.

        5.   Now you’re looking good,  have all your friends here, have a limo, some VIP passes, and a table, what else do you need? A little buzz, to get the night started. Have everybody in your group contribute with some money, and buy some bottles of whatever you might enjoy drinking. Buy it off the Strip, it’s easy to take a bus for 10 minutes and go in town at a regular cheap liquor store or a Walmart. Drink a bit before you get in the club (just enough to put you in the mood, but not too much, as the bouncers won’t let you in if you’re drunk).  Now when you’re in the club, buy a bottle of something cheap. It should get you going all night.

        6.   Now all you need to do is have more fun than anybody else in that club. Get wild, dance, even scream a little, let everybody know that your table is where the party’s at. And you’ll be the VIP’s of the night.

Now go have fun, my Kevin Federlines, it’s your night and you’re all VIPs!     

     Today, March 21st 2008, Kevin Federline turns 30. And where else would he celebrate, if not Las Vegas. I don’t blame him.

The big party will be held at Pure, the nightclub inside Caesar’s Palace. Last year he celebrated his 29th birthday at the same club, and where do you think he celebrated his 28th birthday? You got it, Pure. So the third year in a row. Now I’m not saying Pure is not a cute place to party, but… c’mon, three years in a row, at the same place?  He must either really like Pure, or… wait. Do you think he’s getting paid for it? Yes, he is
How many of us are so lucky to get paid to party on our birthday? And I’m not talking about a few dollars, think six figures!

But I’m not holding that against him. And you know why? Because no matter what, his favorite town remains Las Vegas, and as long as he brings in visitors, money, fame and all that to the city, he’s alright in my book.

K-Fed is a notorious party animal, hosting at different nightclubs throughout the weekend, and I think he makes a more than decent living by doing it. That’s my dream job: to party and get paid for it. Now all I need to do is become a celebrity (or marry one), and I’m set. Let the party begin! Oh, and Pure, I will more than gladly host my first party there for free.

All those interested in being on my VIP guest list leave me a comment. I’ll start making that list tonight. My birthday isn’t until January, so I think I have plenty of time to negotiate with Pure, don’t you think?

    From Sy,  wheelturninghamsterdead.com

 ”Vegas.  The state of bright lights, big money and sweaty armpits.  Of course, a lot more could be sweating should you leave the confines of the air conditioned buildings…or risk a lot of money on “Red” only to find out you are playing blackjack.  And after the dealer takes all of your money, you stand there looking like a dear looks at the headlights of the oncoming speeding car and all it see’s is a headstone with “Bambi:  Too stupid to get out of the way of the car” written on it.
I won’t go to Vegas for a weekend because it is a 14-15 hour flight including a stop over from where I live.  If I want to journey that far, I will stay asleep and take a magical journey to a place where me, 20 bikini clad women and a large vat of custard stands.  And the wrestling will commence.  Fortunately I have the ace card and can not lose or be knocked out at any point.

But if I DO have to go to Vegas, I will have to go for longer.  Once there I will continue my ongoing winning streak.  When I was last there I won a quite amazing amount of money to the point I could feel the camera trained on my back, and a man with an ear piece followed me about like an excited puppy peeing little puddles. 
I won BIG.  25 Big ones.  But 25 big what’s you are unlikely to be thinking!  Well, this is my story so I shall tell you.  25c.  But that is OK as I only spent 18 to get that.  That is $18 unfortunately.  And then I blew the 25c on yanking a big handle and watching the 7 never appear 3 times in a row.  Nor 2.  Actually, I am not completely sure there were any 7’s in that game. Wheel of Fortune was just not quite as I was expecting it to be.

But that’s the thing.  I do not have the money to blow in a casino.  Although, should my dream ever come true…well…that also wont help at all.  Why?  Well, my dream is to sit on a white sandy beach being served cold beers all day while I do what I feel like.  But should I ever become very rich, I will go back there and win back my $18 they robbed from me before.  And maybe a couple more $’s too.  Yeah, that will teach them. 
But if you DO go to Vegas, stick $18 on 11 for me.  It’s a winner.  Trust me.  Would someone you have never met lie to you? 

Exactly.”

 Some time back I was launching a contest for Las Vegas related stories, that had no publicity so far, but it will be running indefinitely, every month. Sy was the only one to enter until now. You are all invited to write a true or fictional story that would be informational, helpful, entertaining, funny, etc.

 The picture at the top is not of Sy. Sy did not win that much (unfortunately). If you would like to visit his blog, you can find it here. He is a great fictional writer, I’m sure you would just love his stories. They make me laugh all the time. So please pay him a visit, and, why not, maybe ask him to write you a custom-made story!

   This year, Miss USA will be hosted right here, in the lovely, fascinating Las Vegas. Where exactly? Planet Hollywood. When? April 11, 2008. Hosts?  Donny and Marie Osmond.

Now’s the time to come to Vegas, you single men out there! The most beautiful women in America will all flock here, in the city that never sleeps, abunds of alcohol, and offers waaay to many forms of entertaining. You can thank me later for the tip

This is an excerpt from the Miss USA official rules:

” contestants may not be married or pregnant. They must not have ever been married, not had a marriage annulled nor given birth to a child. The titleholders are also required to remain single throughout their reign.”  And also:

“Although contestants are discouraged from altering their own natural beauty, no restrictions are placed on cosmetic surgery; it is impossible to enforce such a rule. In fact, since 1990 the organization has allowed the use of padding in an effort to discourage participants from permanently altering their bodies for the competition. ”

It sounds to me like they’re more discouraged from having a family life, than from having plastic surgery.

“You’re married, divorced, HAVE A KID ?!? What the hell were you thinking? You could have had a nose job, a boob job, some other “minor” scalpel jobs, and you would have been at our level!”  No, thanks!

So, for anybody interested, the display of beauty will start next month, but I say there’s more beauty surrounding us than we’ll ever see in any Miss USA pageant. Even if that beauty comes from a pregnant woman, or a 30-year-old woman playing with her kid.

      It’s Monday, it’s the 17th of March, and it’s St. Patrick’s Day!
