Random Vegas People in India believe if you don't place a wager during the Diwali Holiday, you will be reincarnated as a Donkey. TwitPic of the week Unique views is always the way to our hearts when it comes to Twitpic of the Week.  This time its apparently how Vegas shuts down roads for events like New Years and the Rock and Roll Marathon.  But more than that, we get the magic of reflection. Since this photo was taken at night from the overpass crossing Flamingo Rd, we catch a glimpse of the properties lit up behind the photographer.  Specifically we see the reflections of Caesars Palace and Bellagio. It makes it look like, if you were looking east of the strip at Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo, Caesars Palace is behind Cromwell and Bellagio is next door to Horseshoe. Unintended consequences once again makes art. We celebrate that with this selection, shared by @LasVegasLocally News Wynn 20th Anniversary

This week's conversation  is extra special and unique with Carmen Bellagio, an exotic dancer and entrepreneur based in Providence, Rhode Island. Carmen challenges misconceptions about sex work, clarifying the distinctions between exotic dancers and other categories of sex workers under the broader 'sex worker' umbrella. She also shares her fascinating journey from college student to successful stripper, highlighting the strategic and entrepreneurial aspects of her career. Additionally, she introduces the story behind her business Thottie Revival and her innovative product, the Banklet—an ankle and wrist wallet designed for safety and convenience in the club scene. This episode offers a profound look into the realities of sex work, the importance of respect and inclusivity, and the empowerment that comes from owning one's career and time.

Diane Burko's work in painting, photography, and time-based media considers the marks that human conversations make on the landscape. A Professor Emerita of the Community College of Philadelphia with additional teaching experience at Princeton University, Burko has received multiple grants from the NEA, the Pennsylvania Arts Council, the Leeway Foundation and the Independence Foundation. She has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women's Caucus for Art. After focusing for several decades on monumental geological formations and waterways through landscape painting, Burko has shifted in the past 20 years to analyze the impact of industrial and colonial activity on those same landscapes. Burko's practice seeks to visually emulsify interconnected subjects– extraction, deforestation, extinction, environmental justice, indigenous genocide, ecological degradation, climate collapse– so viewers might feel their connection viscerally through the beauty of her work. While her work deals with impending climate catastrophe, rather than lingering in dystopia, it celebrates the sublimity of the landscape by honoring the intricate geological and political webs that shape the identity of a place. Burko has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, including shows at London's Royal Academy of Art, Minneapolis Art Institute, National Academy of Sciences, Phillips Collection, RISD Museum Tang Museum, Wesleyan University Center for the Arts, and the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. She has been awarded residencies in Giverny, Bellagio, the Arctic Circle, and the Amazon Rainforest. In 2021, her solo exhibition Seeing Climate Change at the American University Museum was cited in the New York Times as one of the best shows of 2021. Her most recent solo show, Diane Burko: Bearing Witness, open January 31 to March 8, 2025 at Cristin Tierney Gallery was her first solo exhibition in New York in over 40 years. Throughout her practice, Burko especially cherishes her collaborations with researchers in the sciences. She learns the most from “bearing witness” to the land.

Trevor Aaronson - The Bizarre Story Behind The FBI Fake Documentary About The Bundy FamilyOct 20, 2024Trevor Aaronson is an American journalist. He is a contributing writer at The Intercept[and author of The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism. He was a 2020 ASU Future Security Fellow at New America and a 2015 TED Fellow.Aaronson is the creator and host of the documentary podcasts American ISIS, which tells the story of Russell Dennison, an American who joined the Islamic State as a fighter in Syria; and Chameleon: High Rollers, which investigates an FBI undercover operation in Las VegasFrom the Intercept:Ryan Bundy seemed uneasy as he settled into a white leather chair in a private suite at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. As the eldest son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who had become a national figure for his armed standoff with U.S. government agents in April 2014, Ryan had quite a story to tell.Eight months had passed since Cliven and hundreds of supporters, including heavily armed militia members, faced off against the federal government in a sandy wash under a highway overpass in the Mojave Desert. Now, here in the comforts of the Bellagio, six documentary filmmakers trained bright lights and high-definition cameras on Ryan. They wanted to ask about the standoff. Wearing a cowboy hat, Ryan fidgeted before the cameras. He had told this story before; that wasn't the reason for his nerves. After all, the Bundy confrontation made national news after armed agents with the Bureau of Land Management seized the Bundy family's cattle following a trespassing dispute and the accumulation of more than $1 million in unpaid grazing fees. But the Bundys, aided by their armed supporters, beat back the government, forcing agents to release the cattle and retreatBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Random Vegas  Before he designed Bellagio, Wynn had fully developed, different plans for the land formerly home to the Dunes.     Plans were to build a boutique hotel with intimate spaces, 2 hotel towers, one with 230 suites and two 7-story towers housing 461 rooms each   He even planned to leave room for two future towers to be built   Wynn believe if he pulled this off, it would be the death of the mega resort   Wynn's creative side was unsatisfied and after some guidance, scrapped them and started over with plans to reinvent the game again  TwitPic of the week  There was time when north strip was the center of the action in Las Vegas. Desert Inn, Frontier, Silver Slipper, Stardust, Silver City, Riviera, El Rancho, Slots A Fun, Circus Circus and the Sahara lorded over the area for decades. Today it's trying to resurrect its glory days with new additions Resorts World and Fontainebleau, but the location is currently a liability. This week we get a snapshot of the area as it existed in 1985 thanks to @_GrandPaD and comparing the density with today's landscape is almost an unfair comparison. Today large chunks of land exist in between properties making it unappealing to pedestrian traffic. Specifically, the area is challenged by the still vacant lots that are the Frontier and Riviera. The former a casualty of the real estate explosion the strip underwent in the early 2000s and the later another victim of the ever-growing reach of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Crystal ball time, will north strip ever be where the center of the action is again? It isn't likely even once people build on these parcels but that doesn't mean it can't become another hub of activity for the city that continues to evolve at all costs.

In this episode, I recounts a wild night in Vegas that started at Dre's nightclub and ended with an adventurous twist at the Bellagio. Along the way, I share the critical insights I gained about sexual fantasies, leading with confidence, and creating spontaneous, thrilling moments in a relationship. Plus, I offer actionable tips on how you can replicate his three-some formula and enhance your dating life.

In this episode, I talk about my fun trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. I “ramble” a lot about food options, overall activities, and give my honest, non-biased opinion about the city. For food, I think there are a lot of options, but make sure to make reservations beforehand to limit wait times. I personally loved Alexis, a yummy breakfast place! For day-to-day activities, the main thing is visiting other resorts on the strip. We lived in the Bellagio, home of the best fountain show in the world! Would definitely recommend living on the strip as it is very convenient. We visited the Hoover Dam, pretty nice but a little overrated (a recurring pattern

Affinity marketing at it's very, very finest. Rolex has made Mariners, Aviators, Drivers, etc, seek out and own a luxury time piece. Dave Young:  Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those.  [Bonney Home Services Ad] Dave Young:  Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And Stephen whispered in my ear, as we all know he does at the very beginning of the show, but he whispered in my ear that he's not going to tell me the topic. He's going to keep it to himself and tell a little story.  Stephen Semple:  Yeah, I'm going to rob you of your preparation time.  Dave Young:  See, it's the thing that my brain loves is to hear the thing and remember my story about whatever the product is. So you go ahead with your little story.  Stephen Semple:  And you go into your imaginary world and ignore me.  Dave Young:  I'll be over here just doodling. Let me know when we're ready to start.  Stephen Semple:  So what inspired this was I was in Vegas recently and I was speaking at one of these big international cleaning conferences-  Dave Young:  As one does well.  Stephen Semple:  And these things are huge. Like Vegas is so big, man, it's crazy. But what I did each morning is there's a coffee shop I really like in the Bellagio that has just great espresso. So my morning routine was get up, go over to this coffee shop, grab an espresso. And if anyone's been in the Bellagio, the retail outlets in the Bellagio are phenomenal.  Dave Young:  Oh, God.  Stephen Semple:  They're Harry Winston, and Tiffany's, and Cartier, and Rolex. They are all the big fancy brands.  Dave Young:  I am so clumsy. I can't afford to sneeze if I go into one of those places.  Stephen Semple:  And what's incredible actually, if you're a retailer, and I've said this a lot, if you're a retailer and you're looking for ideas on how to do store displays, spend two days wandering through Vegas. The store displays are just phenomenal. But here's the thing that stood out to me. Each morning I was there just before the retail stores would open, and there's one store that every morning had a lineup, and that was Rolex.  Dave Young:  Rolex?  Stephen Semple:  Every morning there was a lineup at Rolex. Not at Cartier, not at Tiffany's, at Rolex. And I went, "Wow, that says something about the power of Rolex." So I looked at it and said, we all know Rolex is a super powerful brand. People who have Rolex stores can't keep Rolex in stock. But that just really did it for me.  Dave Young:  It turns out Rolex means coffee in Italian or something. They were just in the wrong place.  Stephen Semple:  Might've been. Might've been. So what I want to do with Rolex is we'll talk a little bit about the early innovation of Rolex, but the big thing I want to talk about is how Rolex promoted its brand. Because they did some really interesting things how they promoted the company. So Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf, and he really was a pioneer in taking the pocket watch to the wristwatch. And legend, whatever has it that the name Rolex, as he describes it, the name Rolex was whispered in his ear when he was in a horse-drawn carriage going through Cheapside in the City of London. It was just this inspirational name.  And it didn't mean anything, but he just liked the sound of it. And the first breakthrough came in July. He was given Class A Observatory Certificate was awarded to the wristwatch,

Random Vegas  Although argon gas was used as often as neon, the lighting method assumed the name “neon” to refer to the light produced by either gas. (Spectacular – A History of Las Vegas Neon)  TwitPic of the week  It's the heart of the strip that simultaneously has the best view in all of Vegas available to guests of the north facing strip at Cosmopolitan, shared by @Vegas_Visual. This is a picture that often gets submitted for Twitpic of the week but often gets passed over because I see this view all the time. And while it is fabulous, it can't win every week. But this week's photo, taken in what looks like panorama captures the whole view as the eye gets to see it with Cosmopolitan, Bellagio and Caesars Augustus and Octavious towers in the shot. I love everything about this picture and the real-life trek that this is this area of the strip.  News New Years Fireworks New in 2025

The Cracking Open podcast has an exciting upcoming episode where, for the first time, I host a dual interview with Elizabeth Lesser and Mary Pipher to discuss a particular and profound issue for women (stay tuned for its release on November 21st!)Leading up to that episode's release, I am re-releasing their initial interviews with me so you can soak in their deep wisdom and charm. You can listen to Elizabeth's episode here. Whether it's the first time you've listened or a refresh, you are in for a treat.This week's episode on the Cracking Open podcast is someone who I would consider a cherished guide in my personal and professional journey over the last two decades.Mary Pipher, Ph.D. is a truly extraordinary psychologist who specializes in women, trauma, and the effect of culture on our mental health.I first came across Mary's work twenty years ago while teaching at an all-girls school in San Francisco. I felt lost on how to best provide emotional support to my students when they felt left out with friends, insecure about their bodies, navigating challenges in their home lives, or struggling with feeling worthy. A fellow teacher recommended that I read a book called Reviving Ophelia by Mary Pipher.When I read her words below, I knew I had found the right guidance:“Girls struggle with mixed messages:Be beautiful, but beauty is only skin deep.Be sexy, but not sexual.Be honest, but don't hurt anyone's feelings.Be independent, but be nice.Be smart, but not so smart you threaten boys.”Ever since, I have read anything and everything that Mary has written and it has always been a compassionate, wise, and safe place to land. And because of this, I am pinching myself that I got to have this conversation with her and share it with all of you.Mary graduated in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley and received her Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska in Clinical Psychology. She was a Rockefeller Scholar in Residence at Bellagio and has received two American Psychological Association Presidential Citations, one of which she returned to protest psychologists' involvement in enhanced interrogations at Guantánamo and other black sites.She is a community organizer and activist for many causes and has authored 11 books including 4 New York Times bestsellers. Her latest book is A Life in Light, a luminous new memoir that taps into a cultural moment to offer wisdom, hope, and insight into loss and change.In today's episode, Mary reminds us that we don't have to be perfect, solve every problem, or "fix" anyone. She also helps us remember that we live in a universe filled with love and light that surrounds us and is available to us, at all times.I will leave you with her wise words:“I think a wonderful life doesn't mean that a person hasn't had a lot of tragedy. It means they've had a big, rich life where they've been able to experience a really wide range of emotions and people and adventures and learnings of all different kinds.And of course, in terms of loving fiercely, the price for loving fiercely is the pain of goodbye, but I would always choose to love fiercely.”Love,MollyLearn more about Mary Pipher and her work hereThe new 6-Month Coaching Group begins November 13th!Email Molly for more details!Follow Molly on Instagram and Facebook

Random Vegas For a time, Las Vegas had the three tallest neon signs in the world as the Dunes sign rose to 180 feet, the Frontier's sign rose to 184 and Stardust's most iconic sign rose to 188 feet to be the tallest sign in the world for the decade to follow (Spectacular – A History of Las Vegas Neon) TwitPic of the week Oh come on Harrah's, how is that riverboat casino not like a 1,000 x better than the homogenized casino you have now.  In this week's picture by @las_when, we not only get to enjoy the riverboat again but its neighbor Imperial Palace.  Then just for fun take a look to the right at all that undeveloped real estate in between Excalibur and Caesars. You can tell this picture is from the mid 90s because they are working on the land that will become the Fountains of Bellagio. The savvy viewer will spot Aladdin across the street from all that land.  This POV is from Treasure Island, the same view that helped us fall in love with the city for the first time in 2006. News 360 Book Update

In this episode, the FAQ is: What should I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Today's Destination is Lake Como, Italy Today's Misstep: Sometimes, you don't love your roommates when you share a room. Here's why.   Travel Advice: Don't buy another timeshare. If you have one, it's really hard to sell it.   FAQ: What do I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Answer: Ask them why not. Then listen. Then, address each one of their questions or comments if you like. No one says you need permission to travel solo, but it would be good to tell them you are prepared, have planned for things to go wrong, and have taken this travel step by step to be more likely to be successful. They may be telling you in a way that they will miss you, but don't know how to say that. They could also be jealous. They could wish they could make this trip themselves. So there could be a lot of hidden reasons why they have those opinions.   Today's destination: Lake Como, Italy   Lake Como, Italy, was a quick train ride from Milan, Italy.    On a hot day, about 95 degrees Fahrenheit,  I ventured to Lake Como to cool down. I went there solo for three days, staying in town at a hostel that cost me $150 a night for a “middle bunk.” That was the most I paid for sleeping anywhere around the world. It did have a bathroom with a shower en suite.   It may have been less costly if I had booked earlier than two weeks in advance. Either way, here's some advice if you are heading there.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Como_San_Giovanni_railway_station It was a quick walk from the Como San Giovanni train station to town, so you don't need a car here if you stay in the main city. The lake is a breathtaking view from wherever you are, so the water keeps you cool, even on a boat. Buy the all-day ferry ticket if you can stay for the day. https://lakecomotravel.com/boat-tours-ferry-lake-como/   https://www.navigazionelaghi.it/en/services/disabled-accessibility-and-prm/   Explore all the ferries and see the episode's notes with links, including accessibility information for getting on and off the ferries.   I spent a full day on a ferry tour of the lake, three hours north at its furthest and with more than one tributary. I got off at Menagio and found a paid private club called Lido, but I did not swim there. A few minutes later, while swimming, I met a family from Denmark at a free swim spot. I walked the town and had Nutella-flavored gelato. I then Took the ferry to Varenna. I walked the town.  Then, I took another Ferry to Bellagio. The line was too long to get back on, so I stayed on board. I got off later in the smaller town. I met another couple from Germany. They agreed it was dreadfully Hot. I Stopped to cool my feet in the sea at Argegno—thunderstorms in the morning. I walked to town.  https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/lido-di-argegno#google_vignette I met a girl from Munich and her friend, who took a photo of me with some flowers.  Bellagio has the George Clooney Villa. Most of the music I hear is American pop, not Italian.   https://www.bellagiolakecomo.com/en/bellagio-lake-como-italy/poi-points-of-interest/public-transport-lake-como The lake is carved into a deep canyon. The hills above can be accessed by a special bus-like on rails called a Funicular.   I took the Lake Como Funicular at 7:15 pm, running every 30 minutes until midnight. I highly recommend you do this and give yourself time at the top. The views are stunning, and there's a lot to explore here. It connects Como to the town of Brunate. The trip lasts 7 minutes and reaches the maximum allowed gradient of 55%—so that's steep! The fee is small: only 3 euros (4 dollars) for a single journey and 5,50 euros (7 dollars) for a round trip. So worth it!   When leaving the train station, notice the sculpture of large human hands nearby. It is beautiful and dedicated to disabled service people. One hand is healthy,, and one is wounded.    https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/monumento-ai-caduti-per-servizio Also, I noticed a little bit of Las Vegas here; inside the train station, there was mini gambling, like in Las Vegas. Ironically, there's a hotel in Las Vegas that's called Bellagio.  Today's Misstep: You don't always love your roommates, right?    I went to bed by 9 p.m. because I was busy the next day. My bed was the middle bunk, and there were 5 in the room booked. At 11 p.m., two girls arrived and talked in street voices. I asked them to quiet down nicely. They did not. I finally did get to sleep, but it was rude of them to wake others with their voices and chatter. Would you agree?   Today's Travel Advice: Don't buy a timeshare or another one. If you have one, it's tough to sell it.   We got conned when we tried to sell our timeshare, so don't let that happen to you. We only lost a few thousand dollars, but it was a warning. These are not easy to sell. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If they ask you for money, walk away. Timeshares are hard to navigate to use your week. I spend hours each year trying to book one, and it's very frustrating.   I want to bring meaning to your future travels. Sign up for the Dr. Travelbest newsletter.

The BanterThe Guys find that maps of bars from the Victorian era were created with a very different purpose than expected.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys are eager to hear from Tony Abou-Ganim's about Negroni week in Dubai. From running spirits competitions to writing to charity work, Tony shares what he's doing to leave a legacy for those who come next.The Inside TrackThe Guys crossed paths with Tony in New York City when the cocktail renaissance was merely a glimmer in Dale DeGroff's eye.Tony on bringing craft cocktails to Las Vegas in the 90s:“We weren't doing anything esoteric and crazy. We were just using great ingredients, good ice, nice glass, well balanced, big smiles on faces. And, you know, I had 300 bartenders squeezing fresh limes into margaritas. It was just paying attention to the details and it caught on,” Tony Abou-Ganim on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2024BioTony's journey in mixology began under the tutelage of his cousin Helen David, where he learned the art of classic cocktails. After gaining experience and notoriety on both coasts, Tony was selected by Steve Wynn to craft the cocktail program for Bellagio Las Vegas, introducing his philosophy of quality ingredients and technique across the resort's bars. He authored The Modern Mixologist: Contemporary Classic Cocktails and Vodka Distilled. Tony is  a founder of TAG Global Spirits Awards.Info Tony's Websitehttps://www.themodernmixologist.com/TAG Spirit Awardshttps://tagspiritsawards.com/Tony on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mdrnmixologist/Atlas Obscura Article of Victorian Drink Mapshttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/victorian-drink-mapsMai Tai Recipe[modified from Trader Vic]¾ oz.
