...rooms to handle guests who come for business or to see attractions like Disneyland. But in Las Vegas, the hotels are the attractions, and "The Strip" is one huge theme park. They keep adding more rooms, and more guests keep coming to fill them. It's like a perverse twist on Kevin Costner's line inField of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." Vegas built it, and the people are still coming...
...strange twist of fate and connections, however, I got in about an hour before the rest of the men, just in time to see the male strip-show.

...authorities wrestle with how best to remove and treat the poisons before they reach the danger level, some residents are promoting a new twist on their old livelihood: mining the Berkeley lake. There is growing talk by both local residents and officialdom (scientists and bureaucrats) of seeking to extract perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of zinc, copper, magnesium and other minerals that lie dissolved in the waters.

Where Bob Fosse's film was a Felliniesque star vehicle for Minnelli, Mendes has deglamorized Cabaret, broadened...
...twist to the case that has Jovanovic?s lawyers crying foul, the State Supreme Court has allowed the prosecution to delete vital portions of the woman?s e-mail messages. Jovanovic?s supporters claim they contain mitigating details, and show she?d already had a series of similar, consensual encounters. Justice William Wetzel says the defense is not obliged to see the mails, under New York?s rape shield law. Wetzel also ruled, however, that the prosecution is not allowed to use Jovanovic?s e-mail against him. So whatever the outcome of the case and its horrific allegations...
