See what you’re missing by skipping downtown Las Vegas:

With this incredible video of a drunk guy at Wynn making the rounds on Twitter and leading Las Vegas websites, I feel the need to state for the record that the guy in the video isn’t me. Sure I love a cocktail or 10 in Las Vegas, but I’d never get that liquored up while wearing a tie. I’m much more casual about my drunken stupidity.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this video of a lion at MGM Grand attacking one of the trainers. Yikes. Vegas Happens here has an interesting article about the Vegas media’s delayed coverage of the attack.

I stumbled across this analysis of Las Vegas headliners in the wake of Celine and Elton. It includes some interesting information about the capacity required for showrooms to break even and discusses declining ticket prices.

With Las Vegas visitors less willing or able to throw around wads of cash for umm… “veteran” acts, entertainment strategies may very well change over the next couple years. If the Hard Rock fails to fill The Joint for Santana’s residency and Caesars’ deals with Bette Midler and Cher don’t live up to expectations, we could see a shift away from these long-term showroom stints.

How will The Strip adapt? Wynncore’s four-show booking of Beyonce could be the beginning of a new trend—current touring arena acts playing a short stretch of shows in a small, intimate setting. Time will tell.

Get ready gamers and Las Vegas fans alike. Coming later this year to a PC or gaming console near you: This is Vegas. From the preview video, it seems the goal of the game is to complete a series of missions proving you’re the biggest douchebag in Sin City. Thanks to Johnnie Velour for tipping us off to this one.
