Will Smith
WILL SMITH is considering doing a flick on the bestselling book Cooked.

NEXT TIME someone wants to repay you using a casino chip, you might wanna reconsider ... Nevada law says chips are the property of individual casinos and their use is prohibited for any monetary purpose outside the casino. So when you try to cash in a chip valued at $1,000 or more, the casino is under no obligation to pay you if you didn’t get the chip playing in the casino. The exception to the rule is the chips given as tokes (tips) to casino employees - “In God We Trust ... Everyone Else, Pay Cash”!

When the construction is done, the combined properties will have more than 7,000 rooms.
DID YOU KNOW ... that Las Vegas is the housecleaning capital of the world? The city employs 21,499 professional room cleaners, who do about one room every half hour and get paid about $4.50 per room plus what little they get in tips. Something to consider next time you put the “maid sign” on your hotel room door.

ROY YAMAGUCHI has added an untraditional menu of sushi called Yamaguchi Sushi that includes the Lakanilau Roll (Kobe beef wrapped around crab, tempura asparagus and avocado with sesame miso and kabayaki), Auntie Lei’s Aloha Roll (spicy tuna topped with salmon, yellowtail and avocado with Hawaiian ginger ponzu), and the Sunrise at Haleakala (tuna, hamachi, salmon, asparagus and avocado tempura roll with Dynamite Butter Sauce). Right now, the new sushi menu is limited to the two Vegas Roy’s restaurants (like we need an excuse to go Vegas).
