Wynn Las Vegas Re-Designs... Again
Posted by HunterSo - remember that terrible Web site that the folks at Wynn launched, that everyone hated? Yeah, well, it's gone now.

The UnVegas Vegas
Posted by daveschwartzFighting gusts of 30 mph on my morning run a few minutes ago, I thought to myself,"I feel bad for people who came here expecting sunshine and palm trees."
