Las Vegas Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas limes, Las Vegas Medical Care, Las Vegas Real Estate.

Click on images to enlarge if you desire. Larger than life well describes Las Vegas as it does Louie.
L.E.'s Las Vegas cactus flowers, the first in four years or more.

L.E.'s lime tree looks like it may provide limes,
the first fruit ever from this four year old tree.
Airport pickup made without incident:
L.E. took a friend’s advice and when arriving at the airport to pick up his wife he parked in the short term area rather than make a curbside pickup.
L.E. ponders whether this constitutes an act of cowardice or is an accepted convenience of the world in which we choose to live. L.E. has long concluded that if no person tells obvious wrong doers that they are wrongdoers then the wrong doing perpetuates into accepted behavior (yet still wrong behavior by normally accepted behavioral standards).
Where this involves government employees an even greater danger becomes us. Remember “Watergate?” Remember “Waterboarding?” Remember “Weapons of Mass Destruction?”L.E. believes that we should be ever vigilant that we do not unduly lean towards fascism. [Webster: “…A system of government characterized by dictatorship, belligerent nationalism and racism, militarism, etc.”] in our allowance/tolerance of overly zealous seemingly wrongful government actions when waging our crusade known as “The War on Terror”

L.E. Fant's Prescription Eyeglasses, possibly a huge bargain, are en-route.
L.E.’s new prescription eyeglasses are on their way priority mail! He is exited and will provide his review as soon as he is able.
Gasoline prices in Las Vegas Plummet!!
L.E. Fant was surprised to find gas cost two pennies less per gallon on Sunday when he filled the behemoth yet again.

Move On to Possibly Greener Pastures?

The weekend’s F.T pointed out a remarkable real property find for L.E.’s perusal. A new two bedroom apartment on St Lucia (apparently far less developed, and all the better for it, than neighboring Barbados) yet priced at a mere $450,000, and up. L.E. imagines that one will need to catch and sell many fish, or sell many, many coconuts to keep up with payment on such a mortgage. Is there oil on St. Lucia? How do the locals manage? Maybe they unfortunately rely upon tourism and avaricious development to create wealth for some as does Las Vegas?

Las Vegas Place Station, Las Vegas Attorneys, Monte Carlo Rally.

Please click on images to enlarge. Strategically placed billboard?
L.E. believes this place is infamous for its mediocre (yet inexpensive) buffet and that O.J Simpson was arrested when in it a few months ago. Other than that, in L.E.'s opinion, it is extremely unremarkable.
MICROSOFT:
The promised email within 24 hours to assist L.E. repair his absent wife's computer failed to arrive. L.E. emailed Microsoft to remind it of its broken promise and was rewarded, this morning, with an email from a person who promises to help.
That email contained sickenly complex technical instructions which immediately brought knots to L.E.'s stomach and, therefore, L.E. has again asked his expert friend to review the instructions before L.E. implements them and possibly causes further, perhaps unremediable damage.
L.E. shall relate further details of this saga as they become apparent.
L.E.'s WEEKEND IN LAS VEGAS:
L.E. arose this morning and walked outside to determine whether the carrier had provided a copy of L.E.'s weekend F.T. (many times the carrier fails this task to the chagrin of Mr. Fant who is then forced to email London and the local F.T offices to make complaint). Today, however, it was laying on the driveway and was joyfully swooped upon by L.E.
A quick perusal indicates that Citibank is apparently to shed 500 billion Dollars of assets to get its house in order. As L.E. consumed his coffee he pondered that and concluded that he could not really comprehend the magnitude of that amount of Dollars, the number of zeros is daunting.
Next L.E. noticed an advertisement for a boat slip in Monte Carlo for May 22-25. This time period coincides with the running of the world famous (at least the rest of the world excluding us) Monte Carlo Rally.
The particular mooring apparently will accommodate boats (or should ship be more accurate?) up to 30 meters in length (say 100 feet or so). L.E. smirked as he concluded that his 12 foot long sail boat would have plenty of room left over!
This mooring is within 200 yards of "the track" which probably accounts for its cost for the four days of 30,000 Euros, or $46,340.90.
L.E. concludes that this mooring is likely beyond his reach as its cost far exceed his recently received $1,200 family tax rebate and as the mooring fee was going to a foreign country it would not likely stimulate our economy. Perhaps Citibank could use some of its $500 billion to do so?
Our inflation has also caused the cost of an aluminium "walker" to be $80.00 at Walgreen's. How many walkers could Citibank buy with its $500 billion? See: Today's Poll.
L.E. was not invited to the wedding of our current President's daughter (a clear oversight). Even if he had been invited he would have refused as it clashes with L.E.'s wife's "Irish" family reunion.
Tomorrow L.E. must run the gauntlet at our airport where Taxicab Authority goons are rampant and appear to relish overstepping their authority to harass L.E. Fant and other non-limo/taxi drivers attempting to use our county facility. Should no post subsequently appear one may assume L.E. fell foul of these goons.

Las Vegas Entertainment, Las Vegas Dining

Please click on images to enlarge. Below are a few more of the Collector Series of Las Vegas Memorabilia images.
Great and inexpensive Sunday Champagne Brunch!! Take off a few pounds while in town.

See the magazine come to life in Las Vegas.

Poll:
Many superior respondents knew that a 2,000 calorie diet allows for over 60 grams of fat per day.
Our Government’s “mypyramid” sample 2,000 calorie diet plan allows a total fat intake of 67 grams of which 16 grams may be of saturated fats.
L.E. is still getting over his computer nightmare and coming to terms with the new Las Vegas record of having the highest devaluation of home prices of our Nation.
He has been trying out a new 30 minute or less chicken teriyaki recipe to share and will provide it soon.

Las Vegas Style FREE Recipe!! Las Vegas Limited Edition Collector images of Old School Motels.

STOP PRESS:
MAN KILLED BY SHARK OFF SAN DIEGO, CA!! FIRST SUCH DEATH IN MANY YEARS
click on images to enlarge! Two bedroom suites available at the Lamplighter.
Old school charm here.
The Gatewood offers smog checks as well
as accommodations in a cubist environment?
POLL:
Most agree that El Pollo Loco and Chipotle Mexican Grill have the healthiest ingredients of the major chain take out restaurants.
Wendy’s Burger (chain) consumed by Nelson Peltz.
The billionaire has added Wendy’s to his portfolio which includes Arby’s. Apparently Wendy’s has been losing ground (beef?) to her arch (intentional pun) rival McDonald's. L.E. guesses this answers the question “where’s the beef?”

What to do?
Interest rates (maybe 3.05%) on our savings accounts are at a level which L.E. believes do not keep up with inflation (check out gasoline and food prices).

Stock prices, even of many stocks which report improved earnings, seem to be down around 25% from last year and there is still fear among many analysts (and stock holders) that recent recovery is just a classic bear market rally. If true many of us will be devastated, especially those of us who face having only a few years in which to recover financially.

Many of us now live in (to classify as “own” appears pretentious in this climate) homes which are now valued (by comparable sales) at perhaps half of the amount one paid for it.

Should we buy gold? Should we live and be merry, spending our savings? Cash in our stocks? Or buy more in the hope that the market (stock and housing) has “bottomed?”
HERE IS ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY FREE AND FABULOUS LAS VEGAS STYLE RECIPE FOR YOUR DINING PLEASURE COURTESY OF LAS VEGAS CELEBRITY AND PERENNIAL RACONTEUR L.E. FANT

LAS VEGAS STYLE RAUNCHY RUBEN

Today, while attending to business at the magnificent Las Vegas City Hall, L.E. had the pleasure to converse with a Chicago native who missed her beloved Ruben sandwiches (made the Chicago way).
L.E. pondered and recalled a recipe he used some while ago for his Las Vegas Style Raunchy Ruben:

Ingredients (for two sandwiches).
4 slices of Rye bread of your choice.
8 oz of shaved best quality corned beef or pastrami if your desire).
½ cup or so of thousand island dressing with 2 tsp red enchilada sauce mixed in-(or use Russian for traditional taste).
3 oz of well drained sauerkraut.
2 big slices of good Swiss cheese.
Pat of butter.

Method:
(While admittedly tedious L.E. believes the steaming makes a moister, more succulent and, therefore, delicious sandwich than does mere grilling-if you can’t be bothered with steaming use a skillet and grill instead)
Set up a steamer (Chinese style or saucepan with water and grid).
Pile 1/2 of the meat on greaseproof paper or plate in the steamer, top with the cheese. Steam until piping hot and cheese nicely melted. Warm the sauerkraut in the steamer or in a pan.

Meanwhile butter one side of the bread slices, grill until golden.

Apply the dressing generously to both insides of the bread, fill by piling in the meat and cheese, add the warm sauerkraut on top, cut in half and consume while hot and melty!

Las Vegas Old School Motel Collector Series Images.

click on images to enlarge. The famous Bonanza Motel was not located at the Ponderosa as many believed but here in Las Vegas!
The Walden is adjacent to...?
POLL:
Most believe that Roberto's Taco Shop provides food which is inedible. This is in accord with L.E.'s finding and may well be taken as a warning.
OTHER NEWS:
Bank of America Reports 77% decline in profit as provisions for credit losses climb. [F.T. 4/22/08].

Hillary Clinton, after big win warns Iran we will "obliterate Iran" when asked about a possible Iranian nuclear assault on Israel.

L.E. ponders whether her style of rhetoric will enhance the U.S.'s image or further harm it. Also whether such talk makes Hillary's ambition less or more credible with voters.


Only one Presidential candidate appears to have a proper grasp of how the U.S. should engage middle east nations according to L.E. http://www.votenader.org/

Ex U.S. Army engineer arrested for providing Israeli diplomat with nuclear and weapons information. [F.T. 4/23/08].

FINANCIAL TIMES:

Today L.E. received three copies of the Financial Times. One of Monday's edition, one of Tuesday's edition and one for today.

In L.E.'s opinion the best news contained therein was an advertisement for men's shirts from a London based quality shirt maker whereby one may purchase four shirts for $200.

OIL PRICES TOY WITH $120 per barrel as Dollar falters:

Some expect $200 soon. As the summer season approaches it appears likely that $4.00 per gallon is very likely here in Las Vegas.

HAS L.E. FANT CAUSED RICE PRICES TO SKYROCKET?

Perhaps the recent publication of L.E's fabulous risotto and curry recipes have created a run on rice as his readers prepare those recipes for their grateful families and friends?

Many Chinese restaurants in San Francisco and indeed around the world are hoarding rice as the prices continue to rise on world markets. Rice has risen around 50% in the past month or so and may continue to become more expensive.

Bargain Las Vegas Hotels/ Motels, Limited Edition, Collector Series Images, Las Vegas Eating out.

click on images to enlarge. Two more memorabilia images of the Limited Edition Series of "the other Las Vegas." Very catchy name "Par-A-Dice MOTEL." Claims to have Large furnished rooms. Expect Huge savings compared with strip room prices!
The Desert Moon Motel is convenient to an apparently Italian bakery.

Need supplies, or?
NO NEWS MAY BE GOOD NEWS?
The Financial Times again has failed to deliver L.E. Fant his copy. This is now two days in a row without access to its mine of information relating to our world.
LAS VEGAS EATING OUT:
Some time ago L.E. ate at a Roberto's Tacos. He had noticed many of this chain around town and thought that as there were so many the food was likely good.
Unfortunately that was not the case in L.E.'s experience. He believes that the food was awful, mostly inedible, greasy and vile. The condiment area was unkempt and unappealing.
Needless to say L.E. has never set foot within a Roberto's Taco Shop since. He wonders whether his experience was typical or he went on a very bad day?
OIL MAKES $119 per barrel:

Las Vegas Hotels, Collector series images of "the other Las Vegas."

Please click on images to enlarge This Fremont St. motel is convenient to public transport and offers old world clapboard charm for its guests.
The Las Vegas Hotel may be more appealing to light sleepers than the adjacent Ogden House Motel as it offers a 1/2 day rate of only $19.99(see the sign on the glass door for details). L.E. wonders whether one has a choice of which half of the day.



L.E. took this image as the machine's rider was issuing a ticket to an unfortunate motorist. It is a gratuitous image which may appeal to some.
POLL:
Most agree with L.E. that "the bird" is likely a Northern Mockingbird.
GREAT NEWS FOR QUITE A FEW:
The U.S. apparently has 3,100,000 people claiming to be millionaires. [F.T. 4/21/08].
NO DAILY PAPER FOR L.E.!
L.E. Fant is irritated. For many months home delivery of his copy of the F.T. has been "spotty." Many complaints to its circulation department have not improved the delivery situation. Most weeks at least one or two issues are late by a day or not delivered at all.
L.E. today commented to the F.T.'s publisher that perhaps where delivery is uncertain in a particular area it may be better to not offer delivery as poor delivery standards reflect poorly on an otherwise magnificent and extremely informative publication.

Las Vegas Budget Accomodations, Las Vegas Hotels, Las Vegas birds.

This creature has taken up residence in L.E.'s tree. It chatters at L.E. incessantly commencing each dawn. L.E. believes it to be a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) but will accept correction from those more knowledgeable.


(Please click on images to enlarge)

This morning at 7:30 am NLVPD Swat and other officers were apparently doing business at the "Trailer Oasis" on N. Las Vegas Blvd. Or maybe these officers live there?


Below are the next two images of "The Other Las Vegas" Budget Accommodations and Entertainment Collectors' Limited Edition Series soon to be offered to Las Vegas memorabilia collectors:

Entertainment and accommodation here at way less than Strip prices!! Can't beat it! Some rooms have view of the hills, others don't.





An entrepreneur has apparently opened a necktie business next to the Desert Hills Motel. L.E. presumes the Motel has a strict dress code for its guests? The clincher here is the pool! Perhaps not Mandalay Bay,perhaps no sharks, yet the tariff is many, many $$$ less per night

As promised, tomorrow another two of the series will be released for your preview.

POLL RESULT/ COMMENT FROM L.E. FANT of LAS VEGAS:

Most (85%) apparently believe a trial is in order before execution. L.E. asks "If so, why a desire to eliminate/ shorten the appeals process (previous Poll result) which surely is testing the validity of the preceding trial." Death is usually forever. Mistakes are human.
