Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city known primarily for gambling, shopping, fine dining, and nightlife and is the leading financial and cultural center for Southern Nevada. The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its consolidated casino–hotels and associated entertainment. A growing retirement and family city, Las Vegas is the 31st-most populous city in the United States, with a population at the 2010 census of 583,756. The 2010 population of the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 1,951,269. The city is one of the top three leading destinations in the United States for conventions, business, and meetings. Today, Las Vegas is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Established in 1905, Las Vegas was incorporated as a city in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, Las Vegas was the most populous American city founded in that century (a distinction held by Chicago in the 19th century). The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs.
The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. The Strip is not located within the City of Las Vegas but is in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester, which are south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of the Strip has been designated an All-American Road, and is considered a scenic route at night. Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. Fifteen of the world's 25 largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 62,000 rooms. One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and residential high-rises on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists.

On Oct. 31, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state.
Prehistoric Southern Nevada was a virtual marsh of abundant water and vegetation. As eons passed, the marsh receded. Rivers disappeared beneath the surface. The once teeming wetlands evolved into a parched, arid landscape that supported only the hardiest of plants and animals. Water trapped underground in the complicated geologic formations of the Las Vegas Valley sporadically surfaced to nourish luxuriant plants, creating an oasis in the desert as the life- giving water flowed to the Colorado River. Construction workers in 1993 discovered the remains of a Columbian mammoth that roamed the area during prehistoric times. Paleontologists estimate the bones to be 8,000 to 15,000 years old. Hidden for centuries from all but native Americans, the Las Vegas Valley oasis was protected from discovery by the surrounding harsh and unforgiving Mojave Desert. Mexican trader Antonio Armijo, leading a 60-man party along the Spanish Trail to Los Angeles in 1829, veered from the accepted route. While Armijo's caravan was camped Christmas Day about 100 miles northeast of present day Las Vegas, a scouting party rode west in search of water. An experienced young scout, Rafael Rivera, left the main party and ventured into the unexplored desert. Within two weeks, he discovered Las Vegas Springs.
The exact date is unknown, but Rafael Rivera became the first known non-Indian to set foot in the oasis-like Las Vegas Valley. The abundant artesian spring water discovered at Las Vegas shortened the Spanish Trail to Los Angeles, eased rigors for Spanish traders and hastened the rush west for California gold. Between 1830 and 1848, the name "Vegas," as shown on maps of that day, was changed to Las Vegas which means "The Meadows" in Spanish. Some 14 years after Rivera's discovery, John C. Fremont led an overland expedition west and camped at Las Vegas Springs on May 13, 1844. His name is remembered today in neon as well as museums and history books. The Fremont Hotel-Casino in Downtown Las Vegas bears his name as does Fremont Street -- the main thoroughfare through the heart of casino-lined Glitter Gulch. Mormon settlers from Salt Lake City traveled to Las Vegas to protect the Los Angeles-Salt Lake City mail route and in 1855 began building a 150-square-foot fort of sun-dried bricks made of clay soil and grass, a substance known as adobe. The Mormons planted fruit trees, cultivated vegetables and mined lead for bullets at Potosi Mountain. Mormon pioneers abandoned the settlement in 1858, partly because of Indian raids. A portion of the "Mormon Fort" has withstood the ravages of time and is an historic site today near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard North and Washington Avenue. Scientists began an archeological dig on the site in November 1992. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) currently make up about 12 percent of the Southern Nevada population and in December 1989 dedicated a Mormon Temple in Las Vegas. The temple spires are visible in the foothills of Sunrise Mountain to the east of the city. By 1890 railroad developers had determined the water-rich Las Vegas Valley would be a prime location for a stop facility and town. More than a quarter century earlier, Nevada, known as the Battle Born State, had been admitted to the Union in 1864 during the Civil War. Work on the first railroad grade into Las Vegas began the summer of 1904. The tent town called Las Vegas sprouted saloons, stores and boarding houses. Rails were connected with the eastern segment of track in October 1904. The San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, later absorbed by its parent the Union Pacific, made its inaugural run from California to points east on Jan. 20, 1905. The railroad yards were located at the birthplace of a partially paved, dusty Fremont Street. Jackie Gaughan's Plaza Hotel, located at Main and Fremont streets in Downtown Las Vegas, today stands on the site of the original Union Pacific Railroad depot. Freight and passenger trains still use the depot site at the hotel as a terminal -- the only railroad station in the world located inside a hotel-casino. Advent of the railroad led to the founding of Las Vegas on May 15, 1905. The SanPedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, owned by Montana Senator Williams Andrews Clark, auctioned off 1,200 lots in a single day in an area which today is casino-lined Glitter Gulch. Nevada was the first state to legalize casino-style gambling, but not before it reluctantly was the last western state to outlaw gaming in the first decade of the 20th Century. At midnight, Oct. 1, 1910, a strict anti-gambling law became effective in Nevada. It even forbid the western custom of flipping a coin for the price of a drink. The Nevada State Journal newspaper in Reno reported: "Stilled forever is the click of the roulette wheel, the rattle of dice and the swish of cards." "Forever" lasted less than three weeks in Las Vegas. Gamblers quickly set up underground games where patrons who knew the proper password again jousted day and night with Lady Luck. Illegal but accepted gambling flourished until 1931 when the Nevada Legislature approved a legalized gambling bill authored by Phil Tobin, a Northern Nevada rancher. Tobin had never visited Las Vegas and had no interest in gambling. He said the legalized gambling legislation was designed to raise needed taxes for public schools. Today, more than 43 percent of the state general fund is fed by gambling tax revenue and more than 34 percent of the state's general fund is pumped into public education. Legalized gambling returned to Nevada during the Great Depression. It legitimized a small but lucrative industry. That same year construction started on the Hoover Dam Project which, at its peak, employed 5,128 people. The young town of Las Vegas virtually was insulated from economic hardships that wracked most Americans in the 1930s. Jobs and money were prevalent because of Union Pacific Railroad development, legal gambling and construction of Hoover Dam 34 miles away in Black Canyon on the Colorado River. World War II stalled major resort growth in Las Vegas. But the seeds for future expansion had been planted in 1941 when hotelman Tommy Hull built the El Rancho Vegas Hotel-Casino on what is now vacant land opposite the current Sahara Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. During World War II, nearby Nellis Air Force Base grew into a key military installation. Originally built to train B-29 gunners, it later became the training ground for the nation's ace fighter pilots. Many key military personnel assigned to Nellis during World War II later returned as civilians to take up permanent residency in Las Vegas. Today thousands of people are connected to Nellis in the form of active duty personnel, civilian employees, military dependents and military retirees. The success of the El Rancho Vegas triggered a small building boom in the late 1940s including construction of several hotel- casinos fronting on a two-lane highway leading into Las Vegas from Los Angeles. The stretch of road evolved into today's Las Vegas Strip. Early hotels included the Last Frontier, Thunderbird (Still standing as the Arubu Hotel & Spa) and Club Bingo. The El Rancho Vegas was razed by fire on June 17, 1960. As time passed, many other first-generation Strip resorts lost their identity through absorption by new owners, demolition, extensive renovation and name changes. By far the most celebrated of the early resorts was the Flamingo Hotel, built by mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, a member of the Meyer Lansky crime organization. The Flamingo with a giant pink neon sign and replicas of pink flamingos on the lawn, opened on New Year's Eve 1946. Six months later, Siegel was murdered by an unknown gunman who fired a shotgun blast as Siegel sat in the living room of the Beverly Hills, Calif., home of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill. Siegel's life was the subject of a 1992 movie entitled "Bugsy." Although the historic accuracy of the movie is questionable, the movie prompted the Flamingo to open the "Bugsy Celebrity Theater" in November 1992. The Flamingo, after numerous ownership changes, is now owned and operated by the Hilton Hotel Group. Its proper name is the Flamingo Hilton. While the El Rancho Vegas and other 1940s resorts followed a western ranch-styled theme, the Flamingo was what Siegel called a "carpet joint." It was modeled after resort hotels in Miami. Only the Flamingo Hotel name has survived the 1940s era of Las Vegas Strip development. The final end of the Flamingo as Bugsy knew it was announced early in 1993 when Hilton Corp. revealed plans to construct a $104 million tower addition at the Strip resort -- the last of a six tower master plan. The addition opened in the spring of 1995. Architectural plans included razing the outmoded, motel-style buildings at the rear of the property, dooming the fortress-like "Bugsy Suite" and bullet proof office used by the gangster before his death in 1946. In December 1993, the last remnants of Bugsy Siegel and his residence were destroyed when the hotel bulldozed the Oregon Building that held the suite in which the gangster once lived.
Resort building continued to accelerate in Las Vegas in the 1950s. Wilbur Clark, once a hotel bellman in San Diego, Calif., opened the Desert Inn in 1950. Two years later, Milton Prell opened the Sahara Hotel on the site of the old Club Bingo. The Sands Hotel opened that same year, 1952. Those hotel names have survived but the properties have undergone numerous ownership changes. In 1955, the Riviera Hotel became the first Strip highrise in at nine stories. Previously, Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn had offered guests the highest unobstructed panoramic view of the Las Vegas Valley from the resort's third-floor Skyroom, a cocktail and dancing haunt of visitors, residents and celebrities. Other resorts that opened during the building boom begun in the 1950s included the Royal Nevada, Dunes, Hacienda, Tropicana and Stardust hotels on the Strip and the Downtown Fremont Hotel-Casino. The Royal Nevada later was absorbed into the adjoining Stardust Hotel property. In another part of the city, the Moulin Rouge Hotel-Casino opened in 1955 at a time when blacks were not welcomed guests at Strip casinos and black entertainers were required to live off- premise while entertaining Strip audiences. The Moulin Rouge, frequented by all races, was built to accommodate the growing black population. Joe Louis, the late heavyweight champion of the world, was a Moulin Rouge owner-host. The Moulin Rouge has had a stormy past, closing and re-opening many times over the years. As times and attitudes changed, Louis became a much loved casino host at Caesars Palace on the Strip. The Moulin Rouge was declared a national historic site in 1992 when plans for its revival were announced. City and county community leaders also realized in the 1950s the need for a Las Vegas convention facility. The initial goal was to fill hotel rooms with conventioneers during slack tourist months. A site was chosen one block east of the Las Vegas Strip and a 6,300-seat, silver-domed rotunda with an adjoining 90,000-square- foot exhibit hall opened in April 1959 on the site of the current Las Vegas Convention Center. The silver dome was demolished in 1990 to make room for convention center expansion to a 1.6-million-square-foot facility of which 1.3 million square feet is exhibit space. It is currently one of the largest single-level facilities in the world. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, supported mainly by room tax revenues, today is a major player in attracting more than 28.2 million visitors to Las Vegas in 1994, including more than 2 million convention delegates. Entertainment, along with gambling, built Las Vegas' reputation as a playland getaway of the world. People began to flock to the city not just to gamble, but also for the fantastic entertainment that Las Vegas shows provided. When the El Rancho Vegas was the only resort on the Las Vegas Strip in 1941, singers, comedians, strippers, instrumentalists, dancers and a wide variety of performers were booked to entertain hotel guests in the resort's small, intimate showroom. The hotel-casinos that followed copied the successful star format for a number of years. The Stardust was the first hotel to break with the star policy by debuting a stage spectacular as its main entertainment feature. The resort imported the Lido de Paris from France. It was acclaimed by critics as a more spectacular version than the Paris original. The Lido had a 31-year run at the Stardust Hotel. It was replaced in 1991 with a new spectacular entitled Enter The Night. The success of Lido encouraged other resorts to adopt a production show policy. The Dunes, which disappeared from the skyline in a fiery, dusty staged implosion in 1993, engaged Minsky's Follies in 1957, the first time that topless showgirls debuted on the Las Vegas Strip. The Tropicana Hotel bought the American rights to the spectacular Folies Bergere. It remains a showroom favorite to this day. Backstage tours are a hot Las Vegas attraction. During the 50s and 60s, casino lounges also provided continuous entertainment from dusk to dawn at no charge to the customer except the cost of a drink. These lounges, which became major entertainment attractions in their own right, spawned the names of Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett, Shecky Greene, Alan King, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, the Mary Kaye Trio and many others. In the initial years of the Las Vegas Strip, "no" was a big word -- no cover, no minimum, no state speed limit, no sales tax, no waiting period for marriages, no state income tax and no regulation of gambling as it is known today. In modern times about the only "no's" remaining are no state income tax and no waiting period to obtain a marriage license. No cover charge is still the rule in some casino lounges. The state legislature has imposed sales taxes and strict gambling regulation laws. The federal government has forced Nevada, as well as other states, to adopt highway speed limits. Nevada gambling styles, games and machines evolved to keep pace with more sophisticated, affluent players. Baccarat, known in France as chemin de fer, appeared in high-roller Strip casinos. Keno writers no longer used black indelible ink brushes to mark tickets. Mechanical slot machines, once affectionately termed "one- armed bandits," became antique collector items in the age of electronic gaming. Blackjack dealers no longer dealt single decks but switched to "shoes" that held multiple decks. Silver dollars, once the coin of the realm in Nevada, disappeared and were replaced in casinos with silver-dollar-size tokens. In the 60s, multiple coin slot machines debuted. Mechanical penny and nickel slot machines that took one coin at a time evolved into the popular computerized dollar slot machines capable of accepting multiple tokens simultaneously. High-roller slot players today can find machines that accept $500 tokens. The size of jackpots grew from a few hundred dollars to $10 million dollar progressive jackpots paid on a computerized statewide network of slot machines. In the 70s, video machines that substituted television screens for reels, were introduced. Computerized slot machines now feature poker, keno, blackjack, bingo and craps. Some slot machines accept credit-card style gambling. Casinos continue their evolution toward high-tech wagering with every applicable breakthrough in modern technology. In 1976, when casino-style gaming was legalized in Atlantic City, N.J., it became apparent to Las Vegas casino owners that Nevada no longer could claim exclusive rights to gambling casinos. It perhaps hastened the beginning of another era for the Strip -- the megaresort. Hotel-casinos began the race to become full-blown destination resorts for travelers, vacationers, gamblers, conventioneers and all members of the family. Circus Circus Enterprises Inc., in October 1968 already had opened a circus-tent-shaped casino complete with midway games and rides for youngsters. A hotel was added in 1972. Owners of the resort have developed a $90 million water theme park called Grand Slam Canyon on five acres adjoining the Circus Circus Hotel-Casino. The entertainment park, a takeoff on the Grand Canyon, includes 140-foot mountains, a 90-foot Havasupai Falls, and a coursing river where the adventuresome can assault river rapids, plunge over a 50-foot waterfall, fly through the canyon and caverns in a double-loop, cork-screw roller coaster or lounge on beach- rimmed, lagoon-like pools. Grand Slam Canyon, which opened Aug. 23, 1993, is climate- controlled and enclosed by a vented pink space-frame dome. The 3,049-room Mirage Hotel-Casino opened in the fall of 1989 at a construction cost of $630 million. It features a white tiger habitat, a dolphin pool, an elaborate swimming pool and waterfall and a man-made volcano that belches fire and water. Mirage owner Steve Wynn, who also owns the Golden Nugget Hotel-Casino in Downtown Las Vegas, constructed the 2,900-room Treasure Island adjacent to The Mirage at a cost of $430 million. The hotel features Buccaneer Bay where a full scale pirate ship and British frigate engage in a battle of cannon fire. In the end, the pirates blast the British and the frigate slowly sinks beneath the churning waves. With Treasure Island, which opened Oct. 27, 1993, and the Mirage side by side on the Las Vegas Strip, Wynn has nearly 6,000 rooms on a 100-acre site. Additionally, Wynn purchased the 164-acre Dunes Hotel and Country Club on the Las Vegas Strip for $75 million in 1992. He spent $1 million renovating the country club on the golf course. In October 1993, the flamboyant casino owner staged a $1.5 million spectacular in which the north tower of the Dunes Hotel was imploded and the famous Dunes Hotel sign destroyed amid a shower of fireworks never before equaled west of the Mississippi. More than 200,000 people crowded onto the Strip to witness the spectacular. Wynn plans to build a resort named Beau Rivage on the Dunes site and has announced a deal with Gold Strike Resorts to construct a hotel/casino on another part of the property north of the Tropicana Avenue and the Las Vegas Strip intersection. The Excalibur, a 4,000-room colossus, opened June 19, 1990. The imaginative medieval "castle" was developed by Circus Circus Enterprises Inc. for between $260 and $290 million. Some floors are devoted solely to non-gambling entertainment for children and the young at heart. Court jesters perform in public areas. The showroom features jousting on horseback by knights of King Arthur's court. William Bennett, founder of Circus Circus Enterprises Inc., constructed the 2,526-room, pyramid-shaped Luxor a quarter mile south of the Excalibur. The Luxor, a modern marvel which cost $375 million dollars to build, is linked to the Excalibur by monorail. The Luxor features a full-scale reproduction of King Tut's Tomb. The world's most powerful beam of light shines from the top of the pyramid. It is visible to planes 250 miles away in Los Angeles. The atrium in the middle of the pyramid could hold nine Boeing 747s stacked one atop of another. The most ambitious resort project in the history of Las Vegas is located at the intersection of the Las Vegas Strip and Tropicana Avenue. It is the MGM Grand Hotel & Theme Park -- the largest resort hotel in the world and the dream of pioneer Las Vegas hotel developer and multimillionaire entrepreneur Kirk Kerkorian. The $1 billion, 112-acre resort hotel, casino and theme park highlights the MGM Hollywood image. With the 33-acre theme park as the center piece, the 5,005-room hotel boasts a 171,500-square-foot casino, 12 theme restaurants, a 1,700-seat production showroom, a 630-seat production theater, three swimming pools, five tennis courts, a child care center and a 215,000-square-foot, 15,200-seat special events arena for concerts, sporting events and exhibitions. The MGM Grand Hotel and Theme Park opened Dec. 18, 1993. In August 1994, MGM Grand Inc., and Primadonna Resorts Inc., revealed a joint venture to build a 1,500-room hotel/casino on 18- acres at Tropicana Avenue and the Las Vegas Strip. The $300 million resort, named New York, New York, will highlight the best the "Big Apple" has to offer. The property's skyline will feature replicas of such New York City landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. The resort is scheduled to open sometime in 1996. The huge hotel conglomerate ITT Sheraton Corp. made it's first foray into Las Vegas and gaming in 1993 when it purchased the Desert Inn Hotel Casino from Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. Late in 1994, Sheraton announced a deal to purchase Caesars World Inc., the parent company of Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip for $1.7 billion. The deal was expected to be finalized sometime in 1995, pending approval from a host of state and federal regulatory agencies. When New Year 1994 dawned in Las Vegas, the dusty railroad town that started its race toward the 21st Century in 1905 boasted more than 86,000 hotel and motel rooms and had become home to 13 of the 20 largest resort hotels in the world. By the start of 1995, the city was awash with more than 88,500 rooms. Downtown Las Vegas, where it all began, has launched an extravagant project to keep pace with the booming Strip. The multimillion dollar project is called "The Fremont Street Experience." The Nevada Legislature passed enabling laws in 1993 to make the project financially feasible and construction was started in 1994. The project is scheduled to be completed by September 1995. The Jerde Partnership, a firm specializing in creating lively urban centers, plans to wrap the entire downtown area in light and sound. "The Fremont Street Experience" is a public/private partnership between the Fremont Street Experience Company -- an entity owned and operated by a group of Downtown casino operators -- and the city of Las Vegas. The $63 million project consists primarily of a space frame that will rise nearly 100 feet and stretch approximately 1,500 feet along Fremont Street from Main to Fourth streets. Set into the inner surface of the space frame will be 1.5 million lights. The lights will come to life nightly in a multi- sensory show that will be combined with such theatrical effects as smoke, fog and robotic lights. The Fremont Street Experience also calls for landscaping and patterned paving. Street performers will entertain patrons enjoying sidewalk cafes or viewing goods on festive pushcarts and kiosks. Enhanced security and cleaning will help contribute to a safe, enjoyable visit. Also planned is a Downtown parking building for 1,500 vehicles with an entertainment-style retail shopping plaza. The Fremont Street Experience will become a center for festivals, holiday celebrations and live entertainment when completed, according to planners. Fremont Street was officially closed to vehicle traffic Sept. 7, 1994. On Sept. 8, state and city officials, prominent Las Vegans and members of the Fremont Street Experience participated in a "cruise through history," in a line-up of classic cars from the Nevada Car Club Council that made the last vehicular ride down Fremont Street to celebrate the next step in the evolution of Glitter Gulch. The Public grand opening of the Fremont Street Experience was on December 14, 1995. The Fremont Street Experience features Viva Vision, the world's largest video screen which is 1,500 feet long, 90 feet wide and suspended 90 feet above the urban pedestrian mall. Viva Vision features nightly spectacular light and sounds shows with 12.5 million LED lights and a 550,000-watt sound system. Fremont Street Experience is a one-of-a-kind venue which includes free nightly concerts and entertainment on two stages. With direct pedestrian access to 10 casinos, more than 60 restaurants and specialty retail kiosks, Fremont Street Experience attracts over 17 million annual visitors. From the modest beginnings of Las Vegas, Fremont Street initially was in the forefront of the gambling industry. It became the city's first paved street in 1925, the first street to have a traffic light and it is the site of the first Downtown highrise -- the Fremont Hotel, built in 1956. The Apache Hotel on Fremont Street in 1932 was the first Las Vegas resort to have an elevator. The Horseshoe was the first casino to install carpet. And the first gaming license was issued to a Downtown Fremont Street gambling hall. Downtown Las Vegas already had 36 years of history by the time the El Rancho Vegas became the first hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip in 1941.

Taxicab Fares And Fees Explained....
Sixteen taxicab companies service the Las Vegas valley. When you enter a taxicab, the driver will start the taximeter (referred to as the "drop") and an initial charge of $3.30 will register. If a taxi ride originates at McCarran International Airport, an additional airport surcharge of $1.80 per trip is added to the taximeter. After the initial "drop", the taximeter will assess a fare of $2.40 per mile ($.20 for each 1/12th of a mile traveled). If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a charge of $.20 (twenty cents) every 24 seconds ($30.00 per hour waiting time). That is why the taximeter continues to accumulate charges even when the taxicab is not moving. Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare calculates on the actual distance traveled.

Every part of the world has its own language and Las Vegas is no exception. Here are some hints to make the local lingo more understandable. Dark No show; as in Dark Sundays means no shows on Sunday. Tip Same as a toke. Toke Same as a gratuity. Comp Short for free or complimentary. RFB comp The casino is impressed with a credit rating and has ordered that a customer be given free room, food and beverage (RFB) during a hotel stay. In red A comped customer's name usually appears "in red" on a maitre d's reservation chart. High roller A customer with the reputation of wagering large sums of money in the casino. Marker An IOU owed the casino by a gambler allowed by the hotel to play on credit. Coupons Redeemable for nearly everything from a free meal to a free pull on a slot machine. (Ask the hotel whether it has a coupon book.) Shooter A gambler who is rolling the dice on a craps table. Shoe A container from which several decks of cards are dealt on the Baccarat and blackjack tables which prevents the dealer from holding cards. Stickman The dealer who moves the dice around on a craps table with a hook-shaped stick. Drop box A locked box located on live gambling tables where dealers deposit paper money. Boxman The craps table dealer who sits over the drop box and supervises bets and payoffs. Pit boss A casino boss who oversees numerous table dealers. Limit The least or maximum bet accepted at a gambling table. Spoon One device used by slot machine cheaters. Hit me A phrase used by blackjack players who want another card from the dealer. Usually used in connection with a hand signal. Eye in the sky A one-way mirror surveillance in the casino area. Be sure to smile! Mirrors or dark glass that circles casino ceilings conceals people who are assigned to watch the casino action to prevent cheating by players or dealers. There are also cameras behind the decorative looking glass.

Multiple save post options (self.ideasfortheadmins)
submitted 2 years ago by djlenny_3000
I think the ability to create different save directories would be an amazing feature for users. Options for this are to create different save buttons. Another option is to have custom/predetermined categories under the saved links that can be filtered in the saved tab.
Personally I would at least like 2 saved lists. One for "read later" another as "favorites" to distinguish why I am saving the post. But the ability to create custom categories would be even more fulfilling. Since one could tag saved videos with a different category, filter saved posts for different reasons, etc.
[–]psYberspRe4Dd 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
This. Had the same idea - like when you click the "save" button it gives you the option to save it to the general 'folder' or a specific category you determined like "stuff I want to read later" and "places I wanna go" eventually much like the flair-selection.
And then when you click "saved" on your overview it takes you to the general folder and on the site there are links to the other categories you can choose from. Very helpful.
[–]djlenny_3000[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
in the simplest sense a tag for each save that I can filter later would be a start but creating custom categories would be perfect
[–]psYberspRe4Dd 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yes, that's what I meant. And this basically already exists with the flair system (you can also search for flair) it only needs to get implemented in the saving.

to be all hot and bothered over Chris Hemsworth?
(114 Posts)Just that really.
Watched Thor last night (bit late to the party, I know) after watching Avengers Assesmble and wanting to get the backstory (still have Iron Man 1 & 2 and Captain America to watch yet) and am today unable to get the man out of my head!
Feel like a right old perv - anyone else think he's sex on a stick?
He's pretty - but he seems as thick as mince to me!
My dd rather likes him.
I've watched all the Avenger type films. Looking forward to Ironman 3 soon.
Hazel - I don't need him to talk! That wasn't what I had in mind for him...
Youthecat - I'm ridiculously excited about Iron Man 3 - I'm even seriously thinking of going off to see it by myself while the kids are at school as I know no one who'd go and see it with me. Not as excited as I am about Wolverine in the summer though...
Move over!! He's mine!
I'm watching The Avengers right now. just for him
Personal - I wasn't remotely bothered by him in Avengers, was more interested in Jeremy Renner and enjoying the zingy one-liners (I do love a good Joss Whedon script, me).
But since watching Thor - good Lord, those arms!
Just had to google image search as I had no idea who you were talking about. YANB at all U
Oh, you seen him in the beginning of Star Trek, playing Kirks Dad.
Meh. I don't get the appeal of Jeremy Renner. Chris Hemsworth?? Oh yes!
I do love the lines in Avengers. Puny God is my favourite!
I'm waiting for Star Trek and Wolverine.
I've only seen Star Trek once, when it came out. May have to re-visit that one. Funny story though. He has a younger brother, Liam, who's in The Hunger Games. I watched The Cabin in the Woods and actually though Chris was Liam, as he has short hair and no beard in that! I seriously didn't twig that it was the SAME person. I worry about myself sometimes...
YADNBU. Ohhhhh.
He has a brother who's also an actor. At least one.
He gets me very hot under the collar - really quite inappropriately!
YANBU. I don't normally go for blondes, or beefcake, but he is very attractive.
My kids laughed really loudly at (and keep repeating) when Thor says to Loki, 'now you listen to me, brother', then gets zipped away by Iron Man (no other idea how to describe it), then, a comic beat by Loki before 'I'm listening'.
MrsBert - I'm usually the same about blondes, but I would make an exception for him in a big way! Swoons...
YANBU! Chris Hemsworth is HOT!
Doesn't this just make you swoon?
Just looked at the pic of him as Kirk's Dad. Amazing how he can look completely different with shorter hair and no beard - that's why I thought he was his own younger brother!!
Awwwwww, hot bloke being gooey over his baby! My ovaries just spasmd!
Yours did Worried, jeez, i flutter when i see big strong men and babies, just so damn cute.
I also watched Thor last night. Just for Jeremy Renner. And Clark Gregg.
Avengers is one big lust fest. From Chris Evans to Tom Hiddleston. Don't go for the obvious.
Can take or leave Chris Evans - he's waaaaay too bland as Captain America for my liking, but that may be because Captain America is such a 'meh' character. Having said that, I haven't watched 'his' film yet so I may change my mind. I thought Chris Evans more or less stole the show in Scott Pilgrim vs The World though.
Agree about Avengers just being a 'lust fest' - only two years til the sequel (starts marking off days on calendar)!
I agree he's bland. But very pretty to look at. As I said on another thread where Jeremy was mentioned as a chat guest on MN...I don't want to talk to these men.*
*Is that wrong of me?

Limited-time feature
37 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 28-40 within 10 miles
Please allow me to introduce myself . . .
Serious and silly at the same time. I have a diverse set of interests and my likes span high art to low-brow comedy, Ella Fitzgerald to the Ramones, city living to tromping through wilderness. I love to cook for and with. I enjoy teaching new things and being taught. I studied literature and poetry in college, worked for an internet company for a while and have somehow ended up as a financial analyst. Now I work for a family business. I love to travel and have lived in China. I recently moved back to Denver to be near family (Colorado native, moved from Seattle and Boston), and while I have friends, I have room in my life to meet new people. As much as I love being back in Denver and being near my family again, I am spending too much time with them! It's been 15 years since I last lived in CO full time. Help me branch out, see what there is to do besides my tried-and-true paths. I'm looking for someone sharp-witted but not sharp-tongued. Dry humor, diverse intellectual passions, and a spot of goofiness are appreciated. I've read enough profiles to know you *all* are "laid back, work hard/play hard" and "feel as comfy painting the town as you do staying in." Plus, this is Colorado. You probably hike or run or climb or ski. Tell me something in addition to all that. I adore bookworms and music geeks, but physically active is a big plus. It's great if you are adventurous, but please, let it not be at the expense of reliability and a sense of being grounded. If you are geeky about something, that's probably a good thing. Own it, be proud, and teach me about it!
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Cycling, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Fish, Horses
Travel's a deep passion--from the ritziest boulevards in Paris to back alleys in Delhi to great open spaces in where-the-heck-am-I? Around here, I like walking around Wash Park, along Cherry Creek, etc. Love eating out, but also love to cook in.
Good coffee, farmers' markets, indie rock, popcorn at the movies, reading anything I can get my hands on, learning new things, being outside, dancing in my kitchen in socks (I slide better on the hardwood floors that way).
I love walking around the city or the wilderness, trying new restaurants, hearing live music, cooking, reading, kicking your ass in Scrabble, traveling, doing yoga and learning new things in general. My most recent hobby has been home maintenance.
I'm currently reading a few books at once: Nick Taleb's _Antifragile_, a novel called _A Tale for the Time Being_, etc.. I just finished _Lean In_. I go through spurts when I read a lot, but sometimes I can barely even find time for book club.

The Travis County, Texas, Sheriff's Office and the city of Temple will launch Project Lifesaver this spring to help track and locate people who wander away from home or care facility and become lost. According to an article in today's Austin American Statesman, the system will use a wireless transmitter secured to the wrist of at-risk individuals. The device -- manufactured by EmFinders -- can be tracked by its signal if the person is missing, and is located through cell phone towers.
According to information on the Project Lifesaver Web site, the organization was established in April 1999 as an initiative of the 43rd Virginia Search and Rescue Company of the Chesapeake, Va., Sheriff's Office, and is built on the work of the Stokes County, N.C., Mountain Rescue program which pioneered the use of special equipment and procedures to locate lost and wandering patients.
A person who wanders away from a facility or home can require many hours of law enforcement work, and locating someone quickly is sometimes difficult. According to the Austin American Statesman article, each device costs about $300, and helps locate the person within a mile.

Did You Know?
In Tudor England, people wanted to show off their chimneys, which is one of the reasons why they made them so big. Building chimneys was a new technique in those days.
Tudor style architecture is characterized by incomplete timber beams, slanting roofs, and overhangs. This style originated in Medieval England, and under the patronage of the emperors and royals, it became popular among the masses. It spread rapidly for a couple hundred years, before receding away into the past. It finally made it back in a 'revival' phase, first in England, and then in America, where it has been popular since.In Tudor England, people wanted to show off their chimneys, which is one of the reasons why they made them so big. Building chimneys was a new technique in those days.
One of the most striking aspect of this architectural style is its 'Fairy Tale Cottage' look, that has even been labeled as too overbearing. But whatever may be the case, this style surely has grabbed its share of eyeballs, and has architects and prospective home buyers talking about it even today in America.

English Tudor Architecture
Tudor architecture was the Medieval architectural style developed in the early part of the Tudor Dynasty in England between the time period of 1485 to 1603. This phase had 6 rulers―Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Jane Grey, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. When Henry VIII ascended the throne, he declared himself the Head of the Church in England, after a fallout with the Vatican. This started a period of suppression of monasteries. The loss of importance of the monasteries meant that the elite channeled their wealth toward construction. Stone, as a result being used less by the churches, became more widely available. Also, the Tudor era, being peaceful, people could devote more of their attention to construction.
Depending on the ruling monarch, Tudor architecture is made up of different styles, such as Elizabethan, Jacobean, and so on. This perpendicular style was different from the early Gothic style architecture, and had some Renaissance elements. In the initial phase of the Tudor Dynasty, the architectural style was not completely free of Gothic elements, and this initial style was called the Tudor Gothic style of architecture. There was a shift from large-sized spacious structures to smaller, more intricately designed features. Church artisans still stuck to the old Gothic architecture, while adopting certain elements of the Renaissance Period.
Tudor Architecture Revival
There was a revival of Tudor architecture in the second half of the 19th century, and it made its way into America during the end of the 19th century. It was also called Jacobethan architecture, based on the combination of the words Elizabeth and Jacob from the same periods of English history. This revival phase went on till the advent of the Second World War, when patriotic feelings favored American-style buildings, and the Tudor style was pushed to the brink. Other factors that led to its decline were that the houses required expensive materials, and were difficult to upkeep and replicate. In fact, another secondary Tudor revival occurred in the late 20th century, and the houses built in this phase were called Mock Tudor houses.
In the Tudor era, the focus shifted from large, opulent castles to better residential structures for the common people.
Tudor houses have a Medieval cottage look.
They were made with 'noble', strong materials that were long-lasting. Many are still standing today.
The basic architectural structure involved a timber-framed house built on a strong stone foundation.
Tudor architecture was also popular due to Henry VIII's support of his royals, who on becoming powerful, constructed large Tudor manor houses.
The houses of the Tudor Period offered more privacy, and had specific rooms for purposes like studying, dining, and so on.
Tudor houses built in the revival phase came to be called 'Stock broker' houses, owing to the fact that many of America's rich had made their wealth in the successful stock market of the early 20th century.
In this style of architecture, there were no facilities for sanitary disposal, and human waste was thrown out of the windows.
A general black and white look.
Asymmetrical construction features with sharp edges throughout the structure.
Sharp-pitched roofs with cross gable and dormer windows.
Overhanging top floors.
Oak-lined inner walls.
Wavy woodwork or plasterwork, giving a folded-cloth look.
Huge fireplaces.
The house timber frames were plastered with wattle (inter-meshed branches) and daub (mud), and then whitewashed with lime.
Use of incomplete wooden beams that were exposed from the outside.
Low ceilings.
Large doorways with four centered arches lined with brick and elaborately decorated doors.
Roofs covered with slate tiles or thatch (slate became difficult later on).
Tall, narrow, and mullioned windows (called oriel) with small panes and a copper hood, plus highly decorated glass-work.
Use of brickwork for filling between wooden beams (brick was considered a luxury).
Huge chimneys, sometimes made of stucco or brick, with decorative chimney pots.
The middle class and poor used plaster for filling purposes, instead of brick.
One distinctive feature of Tudor architecture was that it permeated right down to the lower sections of society in Medieval England. While in America, such houses built in the Revival Period can be seen in deep-rooted communities.

Hey everyone! Even though I wasn't at the show because of my unstable sleeping patterns (not sleeping at all) I'm still going to do the recap of the show. I've barely slept in the last 7 days getting the amount of hours for the whole week that you can count on both hands and not run out of fingers, so that's why I wasn't present at the show. Anyways, let's get to it.
I was told by Donna that the first set of games had a glitch in the server and Danny lost them all because of it so she told me to do the second batch of games. So here they are, and as usual, they are in the order that they finished in.
Game 1: vs. tykartaltepe - B07 Pirc Defence
Game 2: vs. Epirioti - A48 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6: Torre, London & Colle Systems
Game 3: vs. josh407 - C41 Philidor Defence
Game 4: vs. paddestoel - B22 Sicilian: 2. c3
Game 5: vs. FTWR - B80 Sicilian Scheveningen: 6. c3 & 6. Bg3 including English Attack
Game 6: vs. anxiousrhino - B87 Sicilian Scheveningen/Najdorf: 6. Bc4 with early ...b5
Game 7: vs. kramnik_02 - E10 Blumenfeld Gambit
Game 8: vs. C-D-B - B07 Pirc Defence: Misc. Systems
Game 9: vs. Culleux - B22 Sicilian: 2. c3
Final Game: vs. namahshivaya - C41 Philidor Defence
Now the players who had their games interrupted and got automatic wins vs. Danny are listed below:
igalse, Daeru, youngpro, josh407, DeepGreen, niklai, MissionAssassin
Might as well cover all the bases right? But from the batch of games shown above, Danny went a very respectable 9.0/10 after having a perfect show last week. It's safe to say that Danny's on a roll. We'll find out on the next episode who's able to stop him.
Have a good night everyone!

1993 Ford Explorer Q&A
1993 Ford Explorer Question: will start but wont take gas. wont pull it self 150,000 miles
have checked most sensors. I'm told no one has a code reader for this model. - may 2011
Answer 1
yes, there is a code reader but it is a scan tool that most shops have. it is not a free service.
how did you check the sensors?? it sounds like low fuel pressure but you need someone to put a pressure gauge on it to verify.
Roy - mastertech6371
Answer 2
Another thought to supplement Roy is that you could have an exhaust restriction. Check for a possible restricted catalytic converter.
The system is old EEC-IV Ford processor strategy. There is a Ford specific diagnostic connector that plugs in under the hood. Indeed - how did you check the sensors? I have to say that this is not the easiest vehicle or system to pull a datastream or valid parameters for...so...get in touch with a solid tech with good know how and diagnostic equipment. Good luck. - DaveJHM
