Need a Las Vegas fix? Here's a weblog run by Dave Schwartz, the coordinator of the Gaming Studies Research Center at UNLV. I got a kick out of Thursday's offering about Dr. Schwartz trying to ride the new monorail system. It broke and he really needed to transit the strip to complete a project he was working on. Go to http://gaming.unlv.edu/blogger.html and scroll down to Thursday, "Monorail Busted, 301 Still Running". In particular read about walking from the Riviera to the Las Vegas Hilton. I did it during the convention so I can relate. His discourse the various other alternatives to the boondoggle-orail is pretty interesting.
