Welcome to Kimo’s Vegas… the Players Edge!
We’ve all heard the phrase “the rich get richer,” and at the Bellagio that’s exactly what happened. If you’ve ever walked by the high limit salon of a strip casino you’ve spocked those $100, $500 or $1,000 slot machines that can take as many as five credits a shot. The first thought that crosses most people’s minds is, “Who the heck would play those one-armed bandits?” Why, a multi-millionaire socialite, of course. Candy Spelling, net worth about $600 million, reportedly won $90,000 from the hotel’s high-limit slots.
What was he thinking, or should it be what was he smoking?

Well, you get the idea… smile you’re on casino camera.
The owners of the Sahara have submitted plans to renovate the hotel casino, but roller coaster fans were saddened to learn the fate of their ride is a trip to coaster heaven.

On the desert horizon is a new reality TV show ... Sin City Coroner is based on the real life cases of Las Vegas coroner Michael Murphy and his team of five medical examiners and 12 forensic technicians. His bosses on the Clark County Commission unanimously approved the deal in exchange for $5,000 an episode.
A 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo was stolen in Las Vegas. A few weeks ago the collectable classic turned up at the Port of Los Angeles on its way to the Netherlands sans engine.
