We’re very service oriented

Great news for Chugs “Chris” Taylor, a brothel in Nevada wants to hire some male prostitutes. They would be the first legal male ones in the state’s history.

The men would work at the Shady Lady Ranch, which sort of needs a new name at this point, don’t you think? Nevada is very proud of its legal prostitution program. For the past 25 years, not a single prostitute has contracted HIV.

So if you need a guy–seriously, soon you be able to do so in Nevada. Chugs prefers ladies.

Take it from Snee: What happened to Vegas?

Until this weekend, Las Vegas was mythical. It was a magical place where movie plots really happened, booze flowed like water and the women made the coeds at FSU look like junior prom material.

After visiting, I can honestly say that all of the above is truly mythical about Vegas, but only in that it’s either bull#### or not like that anymore.

That’s not to say Vegas isn’t fun …

… It’s just a different kind of fun. More pedestrian, less — well, read on after the jump for elaboration. Continue reading Take it from Snee: What happened to Vegas?

Where does he get those wonderful toys?

In our continuing support of Apple and compulsive gamblers alike, we would like to let our Las Vegas followers be warned: Vegas is now on-to an application for the iPhone that helps blackjack players count cards.

There has been no headway still on an application that helps gamers pick up women, though.

Finally, a sport you can play along with at home

It’s Monday morning, and for many of you, your first day back on the job since the holidays. This can mean only one thing: you are thinking about skipping out at lunch and heading to the bar closest to your office. We don’t blame you one bit.

In fact, while you’re there, you may want to brush up on your beer pong skills (assuming it can legally be played in bars where you live), because, like a Dominican national, practicing your technique could bring you to the big time.

The World Series of Beer Pong is wrapping up today in Las Vegas. There, teams have the chance to show their stuff in between dunking ping pong balls in warm water in an effort to wash off the dust bunnies and curly hairs in a totally sanitary manner. This apparently is the fourth installment of the World Series of Beer Pong, which begs the question: how did it get under our radar for so long?

Rest assured, Team SG will be there next year, and we will have our drinking shoes on.

Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin?

Sarah?

Sarah Palin?!

Sarah Palin! SARAH! PALIN! SARAH PALIN!

If one scantily clad Sarah Palin lookalike isn’t enough for you, here’s your chance to meet many, many more: Las Vegas’s Club Paradise is holding an “official” Sarah Palin look alike pageant next week. And by “official” we mean not official or endorsed by Sarah Palin in any way.

And coming up at five: a need for a new partner

A Las Vegas television news reporter was fired from his job because he and his girlfriend went on Craigslist looking for another dude to join them in the bedroom. Wait a second, it’s Las Vegas–isn’t that what you usually have to do to get the job?

This is what I love about local television stations–anything can happen. No area is safe, even mine. And when something does happen-it always makes for great ratings, guaranteed.

Ad campaign of the week

When it comes to tourism, a catchy slogan is really important. I (heart) NY. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Don’t mess with Texas. Actually, that last one was a slogan the state government came up with to keep people from littering. It was later hijacked by a current president of ours.

The point is, normally, great slogans are reserved for the big guys, the metropolitan areas that can shell out the big bucks to make sure people have not forgotten that they are still there. (New York City has trust issues, which is why it needs Americans to constantly remind it of their affection.) However, the town of Cumming, Iowa has found a slogan that just about everyone can get behind.

You guessed it: “I Love Cumming.” T-shirts are on sale now.

Man shocked that Iowa is not at all like Vegas

Always bet on black, but never a lady named BlackieHey there, all you cool N-SixteeFo console players, SG game editor Chuggy McLugg is here with a pro-tip all you wiz-bang gambling gamers that happen to pull shifts at casinos: just because your establishment promotes “Las Vegas-style entertainment” doesn’t mean they have to send a prostitute to your room when you win a free night’s stay, even if you do have a gift certificate. Especially when your room is in Iowa, though they’ll probably send you a potato-tute instead. That kind of high roller treatment just doesn’t apply to everyone, you know.
