Newkirk's Notes - comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:

Hello From Las Vegas! Weather was in the 80's this past week, with a storm (cooler and very windy ... no rain) blowing in for the weekend. Goes to figure ... doesn't it? It has passed, and we are still looking at temps in the 80's (F) for the rest of the month. The pools are open!

Girls Night Out - Our entertainment calendar editor Amy (who works so hard to keep all the concert listings updated) called me a while back and said "Ted ... I have nine friends coming out from Michigan ... all girls I grew up with. Can you set us up?" Amy does a great job, so set her up, I did. We sent them all to American Storm then on to Tryst (nightclub) at Wynn Las Vegas for a great girls night out. She reported back and you can read it in this issue.

Giveaways! We have two different giveaways currently running, and we encourage you to enter both of them:

• Win The Las Vegas Book: Money Shot by Brian Rouff

• Win Tickets To See Clint Holmes plus a copy of his CD "If Not Now, When"

Enjoy This Issue!

Members Mania - We Love Our Readers!

Readers Write - Dear Sir/Madam,

During my stay I walked into Joan Rivers in The Stardust, queued up for Slyvester Stallone's autograph and also saw Sly and Sugar Ray Leonard walking through Cafe Lago in Ceasars ( they were going to the final of The Contender). This is the first time I have seen anyone famous in Vegas and it was cool. I will definitely be going back next year to do some more star spotting.

Yours,

Miss Lorna Ballantine

Ted Responds - Lorna ... what a great letter! Rick Thomas and Mac King are both well worth seeing ... and are two Vegas show that continue to be reasonably priced. Many love the Imperial Palace because it has a fantastic location for the money. Fortunately, it looks like they won't be tearing it down very soon. We'll go into all of that in our next streaming broadcast/podcast (which is coming very soon)!
