As a general rule, Jimmy Eat World makes us happy, and the band’s new video for Big Casino is no exception.

Listener Josh tipped us off to an entertaining BBC documentary on You Tube. Check it out:

Drew Barrymore continues here role as the new Meg Ryan in Lucky You, a chick flick we’ll have to see (on DVD or cable) no matter how bad it is just because of the Las Vegas factor.

We just returned home from our 10th annivegasary trip and haven’t had time to round up much content for this week’s links. However, we thought we should state for the record that reports of illegal activity we may have been part of in Las Vegas in the past week are at least 45 percent false.

We have a lot to talk about on the next podcast, so check back this weekend for lots of Vegasy fun.

Thanks to Aaron for tipping us off to the upcoming release of Resident Evil Extinction. Based on the trailer, it looks like this may be the most frightening movie ever for Las Vegas fans.

These links just can’t wait one more day, so we’re bringing you Las Vegas Links on Monday this time around.

We’ve been doubtful of any major changes at New Frontier under Phil Ruffin’s ownership, no matter how many plans he announces. This afternoon, listener Andrea sent us this link to an interesting rumor about a possible New Frontier sale. I don’t see the Plaza name coming to the Strip, given an existing Plaza downtown, but if New Frontier changes hands, its days will be limited.

Have you ever dreamed of being a giant who towers over all of your favorite Las Vegas landmarks as you walk down the Strip? Me neither, but if I had, I’d get my ass to Legoland to see the new Las Vegas Miniland exhibit.

Las Vegas Business Press ran an interesting profile of South Point owner Michael Gaughan, one of the last of the old school Las Vegas casino owners. It sounds as though he hates the new name of the former Barbary Coast like the rest of us. Not surprising.
