We stayed at the Flamingo and I requested a room up high with a strip view. The room (Go Room) and view (directly across from the fountains at Caesars) were great. My only problem was that the view was obscurred by that huge banner of Donnie and Marie on the side of the building. I love taking pictures out the window while I'm staying in Vegas. But this was virtually impossible due to this sign. All my pictures look like they were taken from behind a screen, because technically they were. I sure wish that banner wouldn't have been there. On the other hand, it made it easy to see your room from the street.

Is it just me, or have the number of porn slappers trippled since my last trip (April)? Not only are there three times more of them, they appear to be much more aggressive than they were. Before they wouldn't locate in areas that were directly in front of a hotel/casino. They definitely didn't have a problem with that this time. It seems to me they would want to not stand in areas that were confined or had limited walking space, not so. They were everywhere. I don't care if they do this, hey they have to make a living too. But if someone says no, move on. I had several try and shove them in my face. By the way, who's responsibility is it to pick up the hundreds of cards that end up lying on the ground? I would think the people handing them out could be charged with littering if they didn't pick them up off the ground.

Salsagev just got into the act by uploading 22 photos yesterday..! Cool deal. Especially some of his Vegas SNOW photos.

-----------------

I've got probably 50 STRIP snow photos.. and hundreds of hours of Vegas VIDEO that is just sitting here in my office. (Yea right.. if I could find them) Over the next week or so.. I'll be pulling everything OUT of my office. Then putting it back in.

I have nearly 12 years of Computer/Video stuff piled up in this small room. Sure will be nice to get it all sorted out. Even a hand built DUAL CPU video editing monster.. now you just go down to frys and for less than $500.. Bingo. You have what I spent over $2500 on.

Speaking of.. My NEXT video editing computer is coming in at roughly $4000. Editing HD is a lot harder then Standard Def video. I'm going off book this time.. Instead of buying the MORE EXPENSIVE HP video workstation. I'm buying an Extreme gamers computer. Which is basically the same thing. Anytime you deal with video.. you need all the computing power you can get your hands on.

• Processor: Intel Core i7 Extreme 975(3.33GHz)
• Memory: 12GB DDR3 1333
• Hard Drive: Main Hard Drive: 128GB 2.5" SATA MLC-SSD 2nd Hard Drive: 1.5TB SATAII
• Optical Drive 1: Blu-Ray High Definition DVDRW Combo Drive
• Optical Drive 2: 22X DL DVD+/-RW Drive
• Graphics: 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB
• Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio, 8-channel audio

It will be OLD NEWS in 2 years.. Most surely 3 years when AMD comes out with their Integrated ATI-CPU monsters.

Oh well.. back to work.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning, Penn National said it has entered in an agreement to purchase the project with the debtors. Construction halted on the Fountainebleau in April after lenders stopped funding the nearly $3 billion in development costs.
