What’s On

Again, no one reviewed this? You can’t not go on the strip and not see this magazine tossed around with all the coupons, booklets and things.
It’s probably one of the biggest distributed publications on and about the strip.
The articles are so standard, I flip thru them all. you’re read about all the attractions on the strip if you live here. I go thru the dining section, but all they feature is the most expensive/​celebrity chef places. If you know me, you know I prefer the small janky off strip places that don’t have a corporate office and most likely have the owner working a shift. THAT’S Americana.
The best thing about this magazine is actually the pullout map. It’s not only of the strip, but the whole valley. It’s probably the best detailed street map on one page I’ve seen. It unfolds once, not 30 times like a street map.
they have a basic information page or 2 that tells someone stepping off the place what to expect, like the long ignored tip guide. the tip guide should be placed next to the podium on poster board upon entry. I’ve worked many, many restaurants, not just family ones and made less than the 8% employees are taxed on tips. They’re based on the sales tax of what a server sells in a shift and doesn’t account for tipping out busser, bartender and sometimes expediter.
They also have a nightclub section that is interesting, because it also lists the hosts and numbers you can contact for VIP hosting services. what’s interesting is the clubs they leave out where I know they provide such services. If you know, write them down and write me if you see the common denominator I saw.
I’ve seen casinos and timeshares slap their own cover over the existing cover. I’ve seen Tropicana, Tahiti Village and Buffalo Bills, from what I remember. It’s magazine size (only about 3 of the strip guides are), so just look for a second cover if you really need to pursue this.
