odds an some ends

Las Vegas - Couple of Vegas things if you're brave enough to come to town.

Got a ton of stuff on my plate for the week and it starts with, smoke em if you got em. Just found a coupon for a carton of Marlboro Reds for $76 bucks (US). Don't smoke and not sure if thats a good price, but if you're coming my way, yell, and I'll shoot you the coupon.

Since its gonna be 110+ this week in Vegas, if you're in town, you gotta get some ice cream/custard, and the BEST place is a hole-in-the-wall downtown joint called Luv-it Frozen Custard. You walk up to a window at the back of a nondescript parking lot which is a few steps off Las Vegas Boulevard. While the parking lot is nondescript, if you turn to your right, you'll notice the backdoor of the OG Strip Club, which is a WHOLE other column. Luv-it has been in the same spot since 1973, and you'll find the traditional vanilla and chocolate, as well as the flavor of the week. May we suggest the Western Sundae which is a GLORIOUS mix of hot fudge, hot caramel, and buttered, roasted, salted pecans. Or if you're just looking for a cone, may I point you toward some of these flavors. Cherry Pie, Blue Moon, Sin-A-Buns, Liquorice and my ALL-TIME fav, DEATH-BY-CHOCOLATE! They used to take cash only, but they've moved into the high tech world with an app and credit card payments. And if you're starting a new business and looking for a tagline, ask these folks. Their tagline is, Try it...You'll Luv-It.

And if you're into hoops, the NBA Summer League is in town until July 17 at the Thomas & Mack Center, and YES, they do have air conditioning.
