There's no better way to spend a summer afternoon in Sin City than sipping (or chugging if you're like Casino Boy) cocktails at the best Las Vegas happy hours! Some places are better for summer sipping than others.

Like, duh, if the sun is shining and we're getting cheap drinks, the only thing that will make that better is being outside, surrounded by fun...

The Playboy Club in Las Vegas is closing this Saturday night, but not before one last party (and one pricey cover) to commemorate the 6-year run at this iconic (kind of) club at the Palms.

The closing is no surprise - in fact, it had been announced back in March - but the final weekend sort of snuck up on us, especially since we can't afford the $40...

Every year we celebrate Memorial Day, commemorating the fallen soldiers of the Civil War with a 3-day weekend. If you choose to spend this weekend in Las Vegas, you will not be alone. This is the official start of the summer vacation season, so from now until Labor Day there are going to be more debaucheries in Vegas than ever.

Cheapos, there's a whole mess of good times going on this weekend, the last weekend of April. Good times and cheap times go hand in hand, after all - here's a look at some of Casino Boy's favorite cheap weekend events beginning tonight in Las Vegas ...

We all grew up dreaming of eating hot dogs for a...

After months of (mild-to-above average) anticipation, Carlos 'n Charlie's at the Flamingo Las Vegas finally opened to the public on Wednesday, much to the delight of Margarita enthusiasts, taco aficionados and tourists who like to wear sombreros. (i.e....

Will all the big eaters please step forward?

No, we’re not talking about those of you who aren’t afraid to go back for thirds at the buffet, especially if one of those plates was full of salad. Las Vegas is the land of ecess, which is why it's not surprising that Las Vegas has some of the best food challenges around. (So hopefully all that dieting you did before you came was worth...

Dear Cheapos,

You might be asking yourself, "Why does Casino Boy need a blog? Haven't I heard enough from that snarky little twerp? Wait a second, how did I end up here in the first place?" ...

These are all perfectly reasonable things to consider. So, here's a quick answer - to the first question, anyways. (And yes, we're familiar with the term 'Rhetorical.')
