Thursday, January 31, 2008 And the winner is…… By Len Butcher Watched the debate tonight between Democratic presidential hopefuls Obama Barack and Hillary Clinton, followed by an hour of pompous pundits giving their views on how each of them saw it in terms of who scored the most points.
Overall, it seems that both Obama and Hillary, acting as though they were each other’s new best friend, [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008 Dorothy Hamill? By Ed Graney It was Thursday afternoon and before news conferences were held with those entertainers who will be performing on Sunday, when veteran sportswriters began talking about their favorite acts at past Super Bowls.
It seems the most attended pregame news conference was for Paul McCartney in 2005. But the next most popular came in 1992, when skater [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008 Wait. That guy? The old guy? Really? By Steve Sebelius We caught some of the Republican presidential debate on Wednesday before dashing out for dinner, and we’re a little confused. It seems U.S. Sen. John McCain (he’s the old one) was lambasting former Massachusetts Gov.

Thursday, January 31, 2008 The outrage! By Steve Sebelius If you check out this week’s CityLife (and of course you should do that every week), you’ll learn some sad, depressing news: MGM Mirage has decided to close The Reading Room bookstore inside the Mandalay Place mall.

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Too much info By Ed Graney Call some tree huggers. As of 4:32 p.m. Wednesday, the NFL had distributed 205 stacks of quote sheets that were each at least 50 pages deep. At least we know the copy machine is working, unlike the wireless. For a corporation worth billions of dollars, you would think the NFL could come up with better [...]

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Lost in translation By Ed Graney A colleague heard about a family-owned Mexican restaurant (Guadalajara’s) on the outside of town, so we pointed our cabdriver in its direction and awaited what we thought would be some fantastic local fare here at the Super Bowl. Turns out, the place was closed.
We then asked the driver to choose for us his favorite local [...]

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 A worthwhile debate By Steve Sebelius It seems the idea broached by Gov. Jim Gibbons in the Review-Journal Tuesday to reverse the state’s now-infamous 1981 tax shift has got legs; we saw it being debated by Las Vegas Gleaner blogger and CityLife columnist Hugh Jackson and conservative activist Chuck Muth on Face to Face with Jon Ralston on Tuesday.

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Stumping for Votes By Ed Graney Here’s one thing you see a lot during Super Bowl week: Hall of Fame finalists making the rounds on radio row and chatting up veteran reporters in hopes of earning support for the weekend’s voting.
There are 17 finalists this year and while the only thing missing from the secret balloting process is a puff [...]
