S.C. 9 Bypass may get a new traffic light in the near future, with the approval of a county land sale at the Lancaster Business Park.
County Council gave final approval at its Dec. 1 meeting to give 17 acres in the business park to Adevco, which wants to build a speculative building suitable for a call center.
In his heyday, the late Cab Calloway's unique, innovative and ground-breaking, high-energy swing music and jazz brought joy and happiness to millions.
Now his namesake – Calloway "C.B." Brooks – is following in his grandfather's footsteps by teaching the "Hi De Ho" to a new generation.
A development in Catawba Ridge is a go after a final vote by County Council on Monday night.
Council voted 5-1, with Councilman Bryan Vaughn absent, to approve third and final reading of a renegotiated development agreement for the Catawba Ridge property. Councilman Jack Estridge opposed the vote.
An original development agreement was negotiated in 1999 for Catawba Ridge, which consists of more than 6,000 acres along the Catawba River in western Lancaster County.

A new program may soon put an end to senior fraud in South Carolina.
Called Senior Shield, the initiative was developed by the Lt. Governor's Office on Aging as a way to curb fraud against senior citizens. The system, which has only been active for about five weeks, is meant to not only properly examine local businesses, but also provide a comprehensive directory for those searching for trustworthy business people.
The S.C. Highway Patrol says a blown tire is the reason for a two-vehicle wreck Monday afternoon on the Catawba River bridge near the Lancaster County line.
Ernest McInnis Jr. of Gastonia, N.C., was driving an 1997 Freightliner 18-wheel tractor trailer on S.C. 5 that overturned and went off the bridge.
The accident happened at 2:10 p.m. on the York County side of the bridge, said Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin of the S.C. Highway Patrol.
Ramon Escamillia says he is living out his dream – right here in Lancaster County.
Escamillia, who was born and raised in Mexico, has been living in Lancaster since 1993. He first came to the United States when he was 12.
Escamillia, now 33, recalls the impoverished conditions his family lived in while in Mexico. He says his goal was to one day move to the United States.
"America was the thing," he said. "That was the dream – to come to the U.S."
When Elaine Adkins heard there would be no Christmas Basket fund this year, she was spurred into action.
Adkins, executive director of HOPE in Lancaster, became worried when she learned the annual Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket fund would not be run.
The local chapter of the American Red Cross, which sponsored the fund during the past five years, recently announced it would not sponsor the drive this year.
INDIAN LAND – A consulting firm is the latest company to move into the former HSBC headquarters building in the Panhandle.
Titanium Holdings Inc. is moving its headquarters to Indian Land to accommodate what officials call explosive growth and a strategic expansion to meet industry demand.
Titanium Holdings Inc. is the parent company of Titanium Solutions Inc., a leading provider of homeowner contacting and consulting services.
County Council is holding a special meeting Monday night to go over its annual audit.
County Finance Director Veronica Thompson will go over the audit.
County Administrator Steve Willis said the county has received a clean audit.
"I consider it a good report in that revenue exceeded expenses, which is what you want to see," Willis said. "The county is in good financial shape with adequate reserves."
Road standards
Council will also vote on final reading of new road standards.
KERSHAW – The unbeaten Andrew Jackson boys bounced back in a hurry to snap a long hoops skid against county rival Lancaster with a 57-51 comeback win on Friday night.
The Vols posted their first basketball win over the Bruins going back to the 1998 season when AJ downed the Bruins 62-60 in its holiday tournament.
AJ's six-point win gave the Vols a hoops split after the Lady Bruins took a 57-38 win in the varsity opener.

It's bridal shower season! In the last few months I've gone to 4, including 2 for weddings I'm in and I hear mine is on it's way soon!
Instead of a paper plate hat, today I wanted to share a modern take and teach you how I make a ribbon bouquet. In theory, the bride uses this bouquet at her rehearsal the night before the big day as she practices walking down the aisle.
- Strong paper plate
- Scissors
- Tape
- Ribbons/Bows from the gifts received (not shown)
Before attending, cut several holes in the plate, with the biggest in the center. I've seen places online that say to make one hole in the center of the plate, but I find it's actually easier if there are several places to thread the ribbons through.
As the bride opens her gifts, have the bridemaids hand you any ribbons or bows. For ribbons that don't have a bow, make your own, then thread the loose ends through the holes in the plate. Use tape to attach any of the premade bows. Use thin ribbons along the edges and curl with your scissors by running the blade along the ribbon.
Continue to fill the bouquet with collected bows until the present reveal is complete! I promise this will not look like anything as you start, but will take shape as you continue making it.
Once you have collected all the bows, begin braiding those that are hanging through the holes. This braid will become the handle to carry the bouquet at the rehearsal.
In the end, the bride will be ready to use her ribbon bouquet at the rehearsal when she practices walking down the aisle for her big day!

Dopey Heiko Zoller, 48, is being investigated by police after he dialed 999 to report the theft of his cannabis crop.
Zoller - from Osdorf, Germany - won a court ruling four years ago to be allowed to smoke marijuana because he suffers from Hepatitis C.
But instead of buying it legally from the chemist, he began growing his own on his apartment balcony and could now face trafficking charges.
Zoller's lawyer Stefan Reid said: "Without cannabis he would be in some much pain."

1 clove minced garlic
2 carrots peeled and sliced
1 can of chopped mushrooms or fresh
2 cups fresh broccoli florets and stem pieces, chopped
3 cups water
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
2 TBS worchestire sauce
1 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS cayenne pepper (you can adjust this)
8oz uncooked elbow noodles
3 cups milk (I used original almond milk)
1 pound box of Velveeta Cheese, cubed
Saute the diced onion in olive oil until tender. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Slowly pour in 3 cups of water. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add bouillon cubes,worchestire, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, broccoli, noodles and 1 cup of milk. Bring to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add cubed cheese and stir continuously until melted. Add remaining two cups of milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Add more water or milk if a thinner soup is desired.
Best. Ever.
Make it.

Naperville, Illinois
North Central College Faculty Raises Funds for Students
The key focus is the NCC fund; a fund that goes directly to maintaining and improving campus facilities, as well as the students who need financial aid. "The biggest thing is scholarships because so many students require scholarships," explained Maria Caselli, associate director of development.
"More than 90% of the students that attend North Central receive some sort of financial aid, so it's a very important fund," said Andrea Ishikawa, campus development officer.
Some employees donate specifically to the NCC fund. "I usually donate to the general fund so they can use it how they feel is best. I'm sure some people want to contribute to the new science center, but personally I'll just donate to the general fund so they can decide," said Dave Missurelli.
Campus Campaign gives faculty and staff a chance to donate to specific areas, as well. "I always support the library, because I love books and I love libraries… I always love to support the library. This is a great event, the college gives employees a lot, and it's just a way we can give back to the college," said Laura Pohl.
The collection of this money is important for the school as well as the students. Ishikawa explains, "what you pay in tuition covers about 70% of the year, the other 30% is covered by donations, so that's why this is an important event and an important fund." This goes to things like updated computers, new buildings, teaching equipment, sports and housing.
Staff is encouraged to contribute because it gives the college more resources and lets NCC expand on its educational opportunities. According to Andrea Ishikawa, the program currently has 30% of staff involved. After the event she hopes the number increases to 50% and then 80% after next year. Ishikawa also says outside sources recognize faculty participation when deciding to donate as well. "Outside sources look at our participation rates for grants and foundation funding, so that's another important talking point when we go out to look for that sort of support to give back to North Central College," she said.
Campus Campaign is a proactive approach to maintain and expand campus facilities and resources.

This semester, Coursekit, an academic social network of sorts that gives teachers and students a way to communicate outside of class, tried a little experiment from the Peter Thiel school of thought.
Coursekit founder Joseph Cohen, a Wharton drop-out and TechStars New York alum, was already familiar with the work of Aswath Damodaran, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business with a big academic following. So last year, he cold-emailed Mr. Damodaran to encourage him to join Coursekit's pilot program. "I don't think he was looking [for a solution like] Coursekit," Mr. Cohen told Betabeat by Gchat. "But when he saw what it could do…he and I really hit it off."
This semester, Mr. Damodaran decided to take it one step further and offer both his Corporate Finance and Valuation classes to anyone around the world, for free*. Considering that an MBA from NYU-Stern costs $100,894 for residents (with a "recommended annual budget of $82,867), we'd say that's a pretty good deal. (*Beer pong networking sessions with the future 1 percent not included.)
The first lecture started Monday, said Mr. Cohen. Without any press, almost 1,800 students signed up from 40 countries, representing six continents. "I believe in a future where you don't need to go to school to get an 'education.' This is a taste of that," he added.
On his blog, Musings on Markets, Mr. Damodaran called it, "a small challenge to the 'university' business model." (The scare quotes are his). "For hundreds of years, we (as consumers) have had no choice. Universities have operated with little competition and substantial collusion," he writes.
"But I think that the game is changing, as technology increasingly undercuts the barriers to entry to this business. I am not just talking about online universities (which, for the most part, have gone for the low hanging fruit) or the experiments in online learning from MIT, Stanford and other universities. These are evolutionary changes that build on the university system and don't challenge it. I am talking about a whole group of young companies that have made their presence felt by offering new tools for delivering class content and learning. I am convinced that the education market is going to be upended in the next decade and that the new model is going to do to universities what Amazon has done to brick and mortar retailers."
Unlike Coursekit competitor/nemesis Blackboard, a clunky closed-off system Betabeat first used back in 2006 during our own stint at an NYU grad school, the lectures and content will stay up accessible to all on line.
In a message to students, Mr. Damodaran said, "I want to make this class the very best class you have ever had (not just online but ever)." But he did offer a conciliatory note to his NYU employers:
"Just to be clear, my first obligation is to the students in my MBA classes and I will not stint or compromise on that obligation, but I view delivering a great learning experience to those taking the class online as a close second. Note also that you will not get any credit from NYU for taking this class."
Sort of puts the question of whether you're getting an MBA for the knowledge or the connections in stark contrast, doesn't it?
I received my MBA from Stern and, while the education was excellent, I don't feel that the classroom knowledge was anything that I needed to be there to learn. I could have used online syllabi and a library card, along with several websites, to get 99% of the classroom learning. In my opinion, the MBA provides the ability to network, attend after-class events that you would be unable to attend otherwise, and add 3 letters to your resume which all businesses seem to respect… I say seem because business professionals are always amazed when I tell them I graduated with distinction yet was unable to get a job. If I spent the same amount of time doing some hard core networking and learning on my own, I would have saved over 100K and would probably be further along in my career today.
How can I obtain the code for coursekit, to take the free Corporate finance course?

Reach active buyers and immediately increase your visibilityGet Started
The Internet has led to the creation of new possibilities in conducting and managing a business. In a highly competitive business environment, companies are constantly looking at innovative solutions to improve operational efficiencies and reduce their overheads. A number of online solutions are available to help achieve the goal of improved efficiencies. However, many small and medium businesses are still not fully aware about the immense potential of the Internet for business management and business promotion. It is no longer a medium for information dissemination and communication alone.
Professional Internet consultancies can be hired to evaluate how business operations can become more streamlined and cost-effective with the help of online solutions. Companies that are looking at ways to bring down their marketing costs can consider online business promotion as a credible, low-cost alternative. Information and data management within the organization can be improved with customized or standard online solutions. Business communication costs can also be reduced substantially with facilities such as online telephony and video conferencing.
Web Design Services
Professional Web designers are available for hire in the market at competitive rates. They can help a business organization to develop a comprehensive corporate or e-commerce Web site. Such a Web site can serve as a highly effective and dynamic advertisement for the company's business. It can allow the business to communicate its message in detail, virtually without any limitations of space, and with interactive multimedia capabilities.
Online Marketing and SEO
Internet marketing firms can help a business organization to devise a comprehensive online marketing strategy. This can allow the business to reach out to potential customers in any part of the world at a very low cost. An SEO marketing strategy can ensure that the company's Web site achieves high page rankings with leading search engines such as Google. This can result in high visibility of the business before its target customers anywhere in the world.
Cloud Computing Advantage
Cloud computing services enable a business to make use of multiple online networks, storage devices, licensed software applications, and documentation and data processing through the World Wide Web. The business does not need to invest in each software product, IT service, or network individually, and it can access a cloud system via the Internet at a very low cost. Forrester Forecast Data reports that the global cloud computing market will surpass $40 billion in 2011.
Information and Communication Management
A business that makes a thorough utilization of online services can develop intraorganization LAN networks that are cheap and allow effective real-time communication. It can use webcasting, online telephony, and video conferencing facilities for enhanced communication. Information and data collection, processing, and storage can also be made more network-friendly and usable within the organization through online services.
Scope for Undeserving Competitors
Many business organizations feel that the fact that the Internet is virtually a free medium is detrimental to a business in some respects. It allows almost any business to come up with a professional-looking Web site and effective SEO strategies to present itself as a leader in its field. A majority of online searchers simply look at the top few Web sites that rank in their search results. This can be unfair to a business that fails to achieve real SEO success, but is in fact a better business for customers than its competitors.
Overcrowded Internet Space
The Internet is home to hundreds of millions of Web sites in virtually every conceivable business area. The reader has limited time to evaluate good Web sites, and it becomes difficult for a company to attract the readers' attention in such an overcrowded space. This can be a huge marketing challenge, particularly for small and medium businesses that are keen to employ effective online promotion strategies.
Shortage of Experienced Professionals
It is not easy to identify a reliable and experienced SEO marketing firm or an Internet professional for business development or promotion. SEO marketing is a complex and technical area, and a marketing campaign may reach nowhere if the SEO, web designing, and content development is handled by an inexperienced online marketer.
Trust Deficit
For every single legitimate Internet marketer, there are dozens of unreliable and unscrupulous online sellers available. This compromises the credibility of online business promotion, particularly for small and new businesses that do not have the reputation or image to win the trust of the consumers automatically.
The cost of hiring professional online marketing consultants can vary widely. It may be advisable to choose a reputed and experienced online consulting firm even if their charges may be higher. Such firms may charge a fixed fee for the entire online project or campaign, or may charge according to each service provided.
Internet services can undoubtedly improve the cost-effectiveness, competitiveness, and operational efficiencies of most businesses. This is a long-term investment that can yield high returns over a period of time. Business organizations should try to hire professional online consulting firms that have past experience in developing online business solutions and SEO marketing campaigns for clients in a similar business.
The Internet is a network system that connects computers from all over the world. It uses TCP/IP protocol. The Internet gained its name from the term Internet Protocol. In 1956, the Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence conference provided one of the first glimpses into Internet technology.
The Internet provides users with a way to connect with individuals and businesses on a global basis. Users can share information, music and videos, participate in multi-player games and purchase products from companies all over the world. Businesses are now able to reach consumers they would not have been able to reach many years ago.
Jobs in the industry range from software development to cable installation. The IT industry is growing at a rapid rate, and businesses need employees who can provide both Internet and intranet services. Intranet refers to a network inside a company or home with restricted access. A company's intranet allows employees to communicate with each other and may or may not connect to the Internet itself.
Online security, or cybersecurity, is a growing field and security experts are in great demand. Business owners need access to qualified personnel and equipment to ensure that their online presence has minimal downtime. Internet technology can change on a daily basis. Business.com provides resource links for access to service providers, equipment and personnel.

The Brits' successful flop highlights the complex social media landscape
In a week dominated by Facebook's staggering acquisition of WhatsApp, and the clash of tech and mobile developments at the Mobile World Congress, social and mobile are top of mind.
Last week's Brit Awards was the most Tweeted-about UK TV show ever, with 4.17 million posts, underlining Twitter's real-time marketing credentials. However, despite appearances from Harry Styles and Beyoncé, the TV audience of five million equated to a 15-year low. It serves to highlight just how complex and counter-intuitive any symbiotic relationship between TV and social can be.
The awards also provided the UK's first outing for Twitter's Amplify programme. Led by Simon Cowell's former digital supremo Theo Luke, it focuses on forming strategic partnerships with brands around in-Tweet activity, such as photos and video clips in users' feeds.
This resulted in Unilever's styling brand VO5 being wrapped around exclusive content from the Brits – including 12 live video performances and interviews of musos by the host James Corden – in a campaign brokered by Mindshare. Data-crunchers at the WPP agency report that the #VO5music hashtag received 5,332 Twitter mentions – and that Corden in conversation with One Direction generated 1,759 retweets. Read those stats again. Are they significant?
VO5 was clearly involved in the buzz around the Brits, but there's no hiding the limiting scale of those numbers. But it's early days, and they will only grow. I think Chris Worrell, the head of insight at OMD, nailed it when he told me: "It's important but it's not significant – yet."
The Brits was the most Tweeted-about UK TV show ever… However, the TV audience was a 15-year low
Meanwhile, Facebook is hoping to strengthen its ties with TV too, with SecondSync's first analysis of its social TV data. The white paper suggests, contrary to popular opinion, the majority (60 per cent) of TV-related activity on the site takes place during the show, just like Twitter.
And, from a planning point of view, the penetration of Facebook makes it much easier to justify. In some shows, almost a quarter of TV audiences were found to be engaging on the site. During The X Factor final, almost two million interactions were tracked across Facebook.
Of course, it's early days, and such stats represent merely the beginning of what is sure to become a well-contested space. Insights into the efficacy of each platform will no doubt follow; they are different platforms and we use them differently.
The challenge for agencies is to adopt a test-and-learn mentality when evaluating social's true potential.

On Tuesday, April 15, 2014, the the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) released a new definition of Epilepsy. Previous definitions were conceptual, (theoretical) and not sufficiently detailed to indicate in individual cases whether a person did or did not have epilepsy. Therefore, the ILAE commissioned a second task force to develop a practical (operational) definition of epilepsy, designed for use by doctors and patients.

The Nanny State Sucker moms are at it again
Once again progressiveness gone batshit crazy, have now decided that high fiving is intimidating.
Poor junior sorry ass or Honey Boo Boo, who can't make a goal , let alone keep up with the rest of the team. According to the progressives these losers shouldn't be intimidated with in your face high fiving.
So I guess mocking them for shitting their pants is out of the question likewise?
Talk about a loser world, no wonder the progressive left adores and admires this dumbshit in charge.
This whole country and economy is like a bad backlash and flashback of revenge of the turds.

The terrible burden of guilt ... Off-Ramp for October 5, 2013
Nate Silver talks politics, baseball, and burritos
Dave Coelho / KPCC
Nate Silver and Patt Morrison backstage at the Bovard Auditorium.
It's not magic, it's numbers. Nate Silver emerged from the world of sports nerd stats a half-dozen years ago to become the premiere political poll analyst in the country.
His data-driven forecasts on FiveThirtyEight.com were accurate down to the percentage point, and by 2009 he was one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.
Nate Silver has returned to the world of sports stats at ESPN, but he's not giving up the political game either.
He was at USC recently as part of the Bedrosian Center's Holt Distinguished Lecture series, and KPCC's Patt Morrison put the numbers guru to the test.

In the Mix: On the Radio This Weekend
As we've mentioned before in other blog entries (here and here, for instance) Julie Wiener writes a compelling if controversial column for Jewish Week called "In the Mix," in which she deals with the topic of interfaith marriages. Her pieces generate a wide range of opinions; no matter which side of the intermarriage debate one falls on, Wiener's articles touch on pertinent points and lead to some stimulating discussions.
The progressive Jewish radio show "Beyond The Pale," has taken notice of the In the Mix series and will be interviewing Julie Wiener this Sunday, March 11, at 12 noon. Beyond the Pale airs every week at this time on WBAI 99.5 FM, bringing a liberal Jewish perspective to dialogues about religion, culture, and politics. If you miss the first airing, the show will be available on the station's archive page for 90 days after the initial broadcast. The show's hosts, Esther Kaplan and Marilyn Kleinberg Neimark, will start a conversation about readers reactions to In the Mix before delving into the topic of intermarriage in general.
In a 2006 column for Jewish Week entitled "Coming Out As Intermarried," Julie Wiener asserted, "In many ways the situation of intermarrieds in the organized Jewish community is similar to that of gays and lesbians in society at large." Recently, though, this issue is beginning to see the light of day, and a frank and open discussion on a radio show can only help to further facilitate progress toward a more inclusive Jewish community.
1 Comment
As a Conservative Jewish adult, I'd like ot weigh in on this issue.There are two ways of looking at it.
One School of thought says.. NEVER marry outside of the religion, because, invariably (statistics do bear this out) the children wil not have the same experience growingup in a "mixed" home, as they would if both partners are Jewish.
Second School of thought: With the divorce rate so high, do you want to marry someone you think you love, just because they are Jewish?
If your attracted to someone, and that attraction leads to love, and it happens that they aren't Jewish, the nwhat?
Do you deny your heats desire because of religious difference?
I don't have the answer to this dilema, in part because there is no majic wand. There is no right or wrong when it comes to ones emotional being.
I would say this however. It is a statistical fact that there is an ever growing gulf between what used to be considerd Conservative Jews & the Orthodox Community.
If you looked at the membership roster of almost any large urban Consevative Jewish Congregation, you'd probably find that over 35% of the members live in a home where one partner isn't Jewish.
hat is a sobering statistic, when you consider the following.
In the Jewish religion, there are several "minor" holidays…
there are also four days on the calendar which call for fasts between Sunrise & Sunset.
Go to any Orthodox Shul, and you'll know about them, because the Holiday & symbolism will be discussed.
Go t oa Conservative shul, and those Holidays may get some recognition, if at all.
Go any weekday morning to an Orthodox Shul, and you'll probably see a Minion of men Dovening. Go to a Conservative Shul (on Monday & Thursday-when the Torah is supposed to be read) & you may see a group men Dovening, or looking for enough men to make a Minion. Other days, and the Daily Chapel leis vacant.
Its all about perpetuating the Faith.
Again, I am not passing judgement.
Those who argue against the Orthodox movement state the following…and they are corect..
Women are not treated equally with respect to the religious aspect of the religion.
They are not supposed to hold the Torah, they cannot be given an Aliyah (called before the Torah to make a blessing) etc.
If my comments give anyone anything t othink about, they will have served theri purpose.

The "Slut Reputation" Discussion
By Mike Domitrz
"But if I ask for a kiss, my partner is going to assume I also want a lot more than a kiss."
Over the years of discussing verbal consent with students around the country, this concern has been expressed numerous times by females of various ages. The worry is that showing any verbal sexual communication will lead to her partner thinking she wants "everything" and/or is a "slut."
When you understand "How" to discuss boundaries, wants, and expectations for sexual activity, you realize a respecting partner is going to LISTEN to you and quickly realize he/she cannot jump to conclusions with what YOU WANT.
Quick example for you to say,
"Often toward the end of a date, it can get a little awkward because the 2 people don't know what is expected. To avoid the awkwardness (especially since we are having soo much fun tonight), how do you communicate what you expect and/or want from a partner? For instance, I believe in always ASKING FIRST. If you want to kiss me, ask me. I'll let you know my answer. I'll do the same for you. If I want to kiss you, I'll ask you. If I ask for a kiss or say 'Yes' to a kiss, it is a kiss at that point and not more. Anyone who just 'goes for it' and tries to do more without asking me first, the date is over. I believe in both of us respecting each other at all times. Is that cool?"
If your partner thinks you are a "slut" for having a mature, open discussion on boundaries, get a new partner! Find someone with the maturity and emotional intelligence to respect your voice at all times. After all, you deserve respect!
P.S. The above example script provided can be used by all genders and sexual orientation.
About the author: Mike Domitrz, founder of The Date Safe Project Inc and author of May I Kiss You? and Help! My Teen is Dating, is a widely-acclaimed speaker for schools and communities on the topics of dating and sexual intimacy decisions, consent, respect, bystander intervention, and sexual assault. His one-man-show titled "Can I Kiss You?" is a catalyst for social change in middle schools, high schools, and colleges throughout the country.

As a frequent visitor to Las Vegas, I am amazed when friends and acquaintances return from a first trip to this
interesting city having missed seeing much of the "good stuff". My goal in writing this article is to provide you
with my views on what Las Vegas Strip highlights to see first. If you are in town only a few days and take in most
of these attractions (most are free), you will have made a decent sight-seeing trip to tell your friends and family
about. Last update October, 2014.
This article is limited to mostly free
attractions on the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas. You can use this article as a guide and
add other attractions you want to see as your time permits. Click on small pictures for a larger view. I
recommend you bookmark this site and stop back from time to time to see what may have been
What I recommend as a Las Vegas
first-trip strategy:
The Las Vegas Strip is about four miles
long from the Stratosphere on the north end to
Mandalay Bay on the south. Driving and parking can be a
hassle. So your best bet is to limit these to a few locations and do most of your site-seeing on foot. With some
free trams along the way plus above-street walkways (with escalators or elevators), this is not as bad as it
sounds. Other travel options include the Las Vegas Monorail, Deuce and Strip Trolley.To make it easier, I have divided the Las Vegas
Strip into an upper section and a lower section.
If you had taken this picture, you would
be standing on an overhead walkway overlooking one of the busiest intersections on the Strip, due in no small part
to nearby McCarran International Airport. It is the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. On
your left (not pictured) is the Excalibur and the free tram to the two southern-most casinos on the
Strip, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. On your right (not pictured) are the Tropicana and,
beyond that, Hooters (the old San Remo) casinos.
Across Tropicana Avenue from the
Excalibur is New York-New York which is on the left. Beyond that you may be able to spot the
Monte Carlo marquee and part of City Center including the City Center Aria sign.
The tall building with the "C" on top is the Cosmopolitan. The gold-colored building in the distance
is the Trump Tower (which is about two thirds of the way down the Strip) and in front of that is
Treasure Island (TI) with the Mirage marquee to the left of TI. It should
be easy to spot the Eiffel Tower in front of Paris Las Vegas which is across Las Vegas Boulevard
from Bellagio. Planet Hollywood (previously the Aladdin) appears just to the
right of the Eiffel Tower and MGM Grand dominates the picture's right side. The Strip is not a straight
line from south to north but takes a slight "dog leg" to the right by The Mirage and The Quad. So
the buildings north of these casinos are not visible from this location.
With this brief introduction out of the
way, my suggested tour of the Upper Strip takes you down the west side of the street to the Bellagio. You can then cross the street and go back up the other side
until you reach MGM or the Tropicana (depending on where you are parked).
The "crown jewel" of the strip. With its Italian theme, eight-acre lake and water show, this is my #1 pick of
places to see in Las Vegas. When you enter this hotel casino (built on the site of the Dunes Hotel (1955-1993)),
check out the unique ceiling decoration in the lobby. Walk straight in from the lobby and you will see The
Conservatory, a seasonal flower garden. Take the time to see this. It is an absolute treat even if you aren't into
flowers and greenery. The Fountains at Bellagio water show takes place in
the Lake Bellagio out front and is truely a "gift" to the Las Vegas visitor. There are a total of 1,214 fountains
in the "show" and, as of this writing, there are 28 different shows. So you may want to take in more than one. The
Bellagio is classy and elegant and I am not, but I have never felt
out-of-place spending time here. >>>>>Next - take the
overhead (outside) walkway across the street to:
Your next recommended
must-see attractions are in the mid to lower(north) end of The Strip. If you arenot staying in one of these
hotel/casinos and have a car, you can park in a nice, free ramp behind TI (Treasure Island). Most of the attractions mentioned below are
within walking distance.
If you are staying at a hotel/casino in
this area, start your morning tour in this area first and move to the upper strip attractions after you have
finished. I am assuming you are not staying in this area and are either parking in TI's ramp or having the taxi drop you off at the Mirage front door.
The Mirage opened in late
1989 and is considered the first of the "grand" hotel/casinos on the strip. As you enter this
Polynesian-themed hotel/casino through the front door, go to the right and see what's in back of the
registration desk. It is worth seeing and one many people seem to miss on their trip. There is also a nearby
tropical rain forest which you may find of interest. The Mirage is
host to the combined White Tiger and Dolphin Habitat. Gone are the days when you could see the White Tigers
for free. To see the Dolphins and White Tigers will now cost you $19.95 (adult admission). Follow the signs
inside if you decide to see them. Since opening, the Mirage has been
known for its famous 54 foot volcano that erupted every 15 minutes from dusk until midnight. The volcano
underwent a renovation and was reopened in December of 2008. Here is the old Mirage volcano on the left and the new one on
the right (I liked the old one better). >>>>>Next- walk outside (street level)
The beautiful Venetian is home to a number of attractions - the Grand
Canal with its gondolas, Madame Tussauds, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, The Grand Canal Shoppes. I hope you are
staying more than one day as you will want to come back and tour the quarter-mile Grand Canal (inside) with its
shops, street performers and Venetian Living Statues. For your first pass I
recommend you take in the outside Grand Canal (and the gondolas and singing gondeliers) from the arched bridge.
Then step inside the Venetian, look up and feast your eyes on the beautiful
ceiling paintings. The Venetian has added the beautiful Palazzo next door which is just as elegant as the Venetian but this may have
to wait for another time. >>>>>Next Stop is the Wynn.
You may hear some people say "don't
bother going downtown Las Vegas - there is nothing down there to see". That is NOT true. There are some must-see
attractions and more nice-to-see ones. And you can still get your picture taken with $1,000,000 at Binions
free of charge - a nice souvenir of Las Vegas.
My favorite place downtown is the
Golden Nugget but I've been to most all of them -
Binions, Fremont, Fitzgeralds (now The D), Las Vegas Club,
Plaza, Main Street Station (a great micro-brewery on-site), Four Queens, California, Golden Gate (the first Las Vegas casino),
etc. You will notice the downtown casinos have a much different personality (and some say looser slots) than
those on The Strip.
This well known downtown hotel/casino has
a must-see attraction that a surprising number of people know nothing about. The largest gold nugget on public
display in the world, 875 troy ounces (approx. 61 lbs., 11 ozs.), is in a glass case just off from the lobby (click
on image for a larger view). The Hand of Faith nugget was found in 1980 in Australia and sold to the
Golden Nugget in 1982. It can be a little tricky to find and if you
have trouble, ask an employee. I think it is well worth seeing (a replica of this famous gold nugget is on
display a the Golden Nugget in Laughlin. Speaking of gold, there is a GOLD to Go (gold dispensing) ATM nearby
if you have done well at gaming and are ready to invest in the shiny metal.
The Golden Nugget renovated their pool area ($30
million) some time back which includes "the Tank". This attraction is a 200,000-gallon shark tank set up so
you can be swimming close to the sharks. How close?
This unretouched photo shows Kevin, Jessica and my grandson Charlie Jack just inches away from one. He loved it!
You can also take the plunge thru the shark tank via the three-story waterslide. Worth a look if you are downtown
seeing other sites.
The sound-and-light show on Fremont Street is one you won't
want to miss. The Fremont Street Experience is a four-block, pedestrian-only section of downtown that opened
in 1995. In addition to its famous sound-and-light shows there may be other forms of live entertainment
for you to enjoy. The sound-and-light shows, usually about four of them a night, start at dusk and go until
midnight. They do not last too long but are pretty awesome. If you take in one, you'll want to see the others
as there different ones. If you walk out any of the Golden
Nugget's north doors you are on Fremont Street and the show is right there.
Nine other casinos front Fremont Street in the four-block stretch and they all turn out their outside lights as the
show starts. One of the best free attractions Las Vegas has to offer.
Please NOTE you
will see some real characters on Fremont Street. On my last visit, I ran into a Gold Prospector
(at right, click on picture for a larger view) in front of Binions. Not a statue but a friendly fellow
who let me take his picture for this site. Like any place where large crowds gather, not all are there to
watch the show. Use a little caution and you will be all right.
Well there you have it. My list of recommended must-see Las Vegas Strip Attractions
for you to see in your first few days. No matter where in the world you come from, I hope you find this information
useful. And be sure to visit Source1 Las Vegas again. I
will be adding/updating articles about Las Vegas in the future that you may find of
