2010 Guide To Las Vegas

Looking for a decent guide to Las Vegas? I recently found a very good 40 page guide to Las Vegas online at http://www.reviewjournal.com/ads/_adOps/guidetolasvegas/. It’s put out by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Although it’s dated July 14, 2010 and has a lot of ads, it has plenty of information that people who are interested in Las Vegas should find useful. Check it out and you just might learn something (or several things) about the very unusual city of Las Vegas.

Great Deals Involving Beer

Not being much of a beer drinker myself, I probably won’t take advantage of these deals myself but someone out there might, so here it goes:

On Tuesdays from 9 pm to midnight, you can get 5 cent (yes that’s $0.05) beers at the new very nice Todd English P.U.B. in the Crystals mall at CityCenter on the Strip (http://vegasreservations.com/stripmap). You get a 8 ounce cup of Pabst Blue Ribbon for a nickel.

Prefer to have pizza with your beer? Check out the daily $10 pizza & beer deal at Benny’s Bullpen at Binion’s in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont street (http://vegasreservations.com/fremontmap). You get a extra-large pizza with a big 60 ounce pitcher of beer which should be able to serve up to four.

One or both of these “you’ve got to be kidding” deals might not last long so why not check it out the next time your in town.

Use “Google”, “Bing” or other search engine to get more information about these deals or anything else your interested in.
