Finally made it into the new Firefly tapas restaurant at the Plaza on Fremont Street. Pretty cool (and famous) location...Yes, the food was as good as the Paradise location!

Here's the jacuzzi near the pool at the Golden Nugget a few nights ago. The temperature was about 38 degrees that evening. And yes, there were a couple people inside when we first go there...

Report: LV home prices fall despite increases nationwideWhy is this a surprise to anyone?? Our f@cked-up housing market yet another reason why the rest of the country is going to recover way before we do. Let's face reality: Vegas homes were WAY overpriced to begin with. In the end, most of them are "cookie cutter" designs made from low-quality materials. Just because a house was worth $800,000 2

I own several firearms, including semi-auto pistols, double-action revolvers, high-power "sniper" rifles, and "tactical" shotguns. But few purchases have ever made me as happy as the one I made a couple of days a go...I finally got myself a COWBOY GUN!!!Check out my brand-new "Rough Rider" 6-shooter revolver from Heritage Manufacturing. It's a single-action pistol that shoots both .22 long rifle

Ahhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh....The Vegas Pirate blog has officially reached 200 posts. And it only took me a little over a year and a half! As I've said many times before, I am a lazy, lazy blogger.

For some strange reason, people who know me think I actually know a lot about blogs and blogging. I guess that's because they know I use blog platforms (like Wordpress) to publish new niche sites and some forms of social media to get traffic to brand-new projects. But the reason I use those things is because I'm lazy. Without a doubt, using a ready-made blog platform like Wordpress and

The Tropicana is a real "old school" casino who's best days are far behind it. But since I was a kid I've always enjoyed hanging out at the Trop's pool area. It's got that cool classic 50's-era "tropical cabana" feel that was once common in Vegas but is now hard to find. A few nights ago I was walking around and snapped these photos...Classic Vegas baby...

Tomorrow I'm gonna had to my first gun show since moving to Las Vegas almost 4 years ago. I wanna pick up a nice .22 LR semi-auto pistol, preferably a new Ruger MK III, and/or possibly even a little .22 LR or .22 magnum revolver to have some plinking fun with. I'm also gonna try to sell an old Marlin 56 "Levermatic" .22 LR rifle I picked up from a friend a couple of months ago. I have very little

I've been house-sitting in Henderson for pretty much all of October. It's been an interesting and eye-opening experience, to say the least. Before this I'd never spent more than a few hours in Henderson or Green Valley. I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed and will be seriously considering moving my butt down here for good in the near future!Henderson, NV is a pretty damn nice place to live...

There's a reason why boxing is losing so many fans while MMA/UFC is gaining them! Fights like Mayweather vs. Marquez are that reason. A boring, drawn-out domination of a significantly younger, much more skilled fighter over an older, slower ex-champion long past his prime. Lots of pre-fight hype and little-to-no "in-fight" excitement.It's bad when the most exciting part of a supposed boxing "

Alright Great Recession! Keep it up!There are definitely some positives to living in or traveling to a gambling town in times of recession and economic distress. Simply put, I have never seen so many great deals in Las Vegas at the same time. It looks like the casino operators are finally starting to really push the value meter up in order to save their butts. Everything from free drink coupons,

Holy crap.It appears local ABC affiliate KTNV and its vice-president/general manager Jim Prather have decided to become the official "joke" news station of the Las Vegas Valley.

I mean, that's a whole 'nother level of sleaziness and stupidity. Way to kill your credibility along with that of Channel 13 News... not to mention embarrass the entire city of Las Vegas. Oh

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Las Vegas needs to repackage/reposition itself (once again) as the "Value Capital" of the world. The place where you can get the most fun, excitement, and entertainment for your dollar. The place where you actually have a (good) chance to leave a winner... or at least "break even" by winning enough in the casinos to pay for your vacation.We already know
