Las Vegas is a hot spot all year round. But in the summertime, people flock to Sin City, not just for the gambling but also for the hot pool parties and summer concerts. This summer, there’s a lot going on. If you are thinking of heading to Las Vegas, check out this list of summer events from VisitLasVegas.com.
When choosing your Las Vegas hotel, you might consider which one has the best pool. From the Mandalay Bay Beach to the Stratosphere 8, you can find hot pool action from one end of the strip to the other.
Many of the best pools in Vegas have poolside cocktails, water volleyball games and cool cabanas. My personal favorite is Bare Pool at the Mirage and it’s not just about the topless ladies. The music is hot and the VIP service is standard, making Bare Pool a fabulous place to cool down and kick back. The staff and the service are top notch. But really, there are no bad pools in Vegas, are there?
Right now, we are giving you the opportunity to win a $350 Southwest Airlines gift card that you can use to fly to Las Vegas (or anywhere else they fly). To enter the contest, just leave a comment here and tell us your best Vegas pool party story (or even your best Vegas story in general — keep it clean though!).
Your comment will automatically enter you into the giveaway, which runs through Monday, June 1, 2009 at 11:59pm. One random winner will be selected from all the comments to receive the $350 Southwest Airlines gift card.

Wheel of Fortune comes to the Playstation Network for only $14.99 (plus applicable taxes).
From the press release:

Now, I’m not a big Wheel of Fortune fan, but there must be some out there for Sony to sock the $ into making this game and then releasing it. Then again, if you think about it, Sony doesn’t have to worry about packaging costs since they’re releasing it on the PSN.
Whatever.
Just because it’s not my cup of tea doesn’t mean that you won’t love it.
Zab Judah Shatters Glass, Fight Postponed, Jaw OK

Do you remember Zab Judah’s wobbly 2001 first-round knockout from Kostya Tszyu? After getting flattened he immediately pounced back up only to have his legs and equilibrium double-cross him all while telling the ref he was OK. Imagine the same betrayal happening in a Las Vegas glass shower. Because those are the reports coming from Sin City and the reason our oft-suspended hero’s May PPV bout against Shane Mosley has been put on indefinite hiatus.
Judah fell through the shower glass on an as-yet-to-be-determined date sometime this week resulting in an astounding 50 stitches in his right arm. How could this all have happened? Golden Boy promotions spokesperson explained. “He slipped and he went to brace himself on a glass door and his arm went through it. I saw his arm. It looked pretty bad.” Another story may eventually emerge but given the Tszyu knockdown we are inclined believe poor Super Judah.
