Viva Las Vegas

With the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show beginning, in a sense, tomorrow, portions of Kotaku are already in Las Vegas, ready to eat, drink and write—just no gambling. So, let’s talk about Vegas. As we do (almost) every night, take part in a little off-topic conversation while Mr. Crecente and I find some steakhouse or sushi bar where we can gorge upon foods trucked hundreds of miles to the desert. We’ll be staying at betdog the lovely(?) Sahara hotel and casino, an establishment that I have never been inside. We rarely stay in luxury accommodations (Imperial Palace, Flamingo, for example) but this may be our least luxurious stay ever.
