Vegas has cake "ATMs" all over the valley, serving up slices in multiple flavors 24/7. But are they worth the price, and do they taste good? One major Vegas influencer says, "absolutely not". Here’s our take.

We decided to customize our orders. Here is the result.

We jumped up a tier level and earned a few thousand points to play with, eat with, to use in the gift shop or anywhere else on the property. What did we do with it? No brainer!

A fun way to start the evening.

We're excited for all winning Nevada Players. Not a jealous bone in our bodies.

We love the casual vibe in the High Limit room at M Resort, where, in this video, we learn the key difference between two similar Pinball slots. We had to look twice. Maybe thrice. We included info on the M's original opening day and their new tower and restaurant.

This is a relatively new slot at Silverton in Vegas - near the cashier's cage (for now). We had $30 in free slot play competing with the lint in our pocket and decided to give it a spin. It was worth it! Still not sure what the name of the machine is. If I was a betting man I might go with "Flashback Fun". It was pure profit since we used Free Play from the beginning. Not point play - a grant from the casino. Of course we spent money to earn "free" money which is NEVER free, but all things considered, this is a good thing, comparatively speaking. Having said all of that, our best piece of advice to Nevada Players is - at least once in a while - "Quit While You're Ahead". You can drink to that idea when you grab one (or more) of our several different slogan mugs at https://nvpc.shop. Thanks for stopping by!

Grupo Metal is a genre-blending band born from the shared musical roots of Chris Pérez—best known as Selena Quintanilla’s widowed husband and a guitarist—and Carlito Miranda, son of Tejano legend Carlos Miranda. Their sound fuses rock, cumbia, and Latin influences, channeling the energy of bands ranging from Metallica to Van Halen, Bon Jovi to Prince, Tears for Fears and more, while honoring the Tejano traditions that shaped their early careers. Carlito and Chris first connected in the early ’90s when Carlito opened for Selena y Los Dinos. At their recent show at Silverton, as you’ll see and hear in this video, Carlito was very candid about how lucky and grateful he is to have learned all that he has from time spent with his good friend, Chris, and with the talented musicians he is fortunate enough to be able to play with after all these years. There is more than one Grammy winner in the bunch - including Chris. He also speaks of the unassuming person that Selena was. Not an ego maniac who demanded special privileges. Chris spoke of his first time in Vegas with his wife, when they were newlyweds. Carlito and Chris took a friendly, casual approach to their performance at the show, including those of us who were fortunate enough to be in the audience in what felt like a gathering of friends at a rehearsal or a private show for a privileged few. While we couldn’t include everything that happened, we think this video captures the spirit of that night. To the band: thanks, guys! You gave it your all, even for a lightly attended show.
