Kurt's Thoughts

Granted This isn’t in any particular order, I just think that these folks have the best sites for anyone going to Vegas.  I purposely haven’t listed any travel sites because I frankly don’t really have much of an opinion between the likes of http://www.vegas.com or any of the other sites out there.

1. Michael Shackleford’s consumer advocacy site – http://www.sweatthemoney.com
   Michael bulletin boards the unethical activities of the casinos and puts them in a hall of shame.
   
2. Vegas Today & Tomorrow – http://www.vegastodayandtomorrow.com
   This could easily be one of the most useful and interesting Vegas sites out there.  For example:  They have a map that shows “Which Hotels Sell Pepsi & Which Sell Coke”)
   
3. Five Hundy By Midnight Podcast – http://www.fivehundybymidnight.com
   Still the most entertaining and laid back Vegas podcast ever produced by a couple – Tim & Michelle – from Minnesota.
   
4. Stanford Wong’s Blackjack 21 – http://www.bj21.com
   The ultimate Blackjack information web site.
   
5. Las Vegas Advisor – http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com
   The broadest most up-to-date monthly publication on Las Vegas.  I wish they were weekly.
   
6. Vegas Tripping – http://www.vegastripping.com
   An irreverent look at of of Las Vegas virtues & vices.  Great articles as well as being the home of the Trippies – the annual awards given to Las Vegas entities.
   
7. Vegas Links – http://vegaslinks.blogspot.com/
   (No, seriously.  This dude from Vegas Links is psycho.  He’s got so much info, he seriously must be fanatical about Las Vegas and to that I salute him)
   
8. The Vegas Gang Podcast – http://www.vegasgangpodcast.com/
   The other Vegas podcast I listen to these days.  Their more topical and quite a bit deeper than Five Hundy but I still like them. 
   
9. Two Way Hard Three – http://www.ratevegas.com/blog
   Hunter’s site – one of the Vegas Gang.  A good, long lived site on Vegas. 
   
10. What Brian Thinks about Las Vegas – http://whatbrianthinksaboutlasvegas.com/
    I just like his format.  His content is frankly old, but I still like his humor and his drawings.  It’s creative in a really ‘I-don’t-give-a-@#$%” sort of way – not to mention he’s the maker of the t-shirt to the right.

These sites are rapidly becoming favorites of mine and could overtake someone in the top ten:
