How cool is Las Vegas Weekly?
I will tell you how cool: pretty very fucking cool!
They published an issue with Daft fucking Punk on their cover when 99% of the valley had no inkling of a clue that the frenchmen were performing in the city and even less knew what Vegoose was. Shit: 99% of the valley's residents today possess no clue that Daft Punk performed a full set live for the very last time on U.S. soil in Las Vegas or that we ever had a festival called Vegoose.
In fact, I wanted the issue to mat and frame since I gave away the magazines that I snagged and there was definitely no better souvenir from the show. So, I email someone at LVW and ask to buy one ... a back issue ... and they are so cool that they offered to just give it to me. Unfortunately, I got sidetracked getting all excited about the prospect and looking for materials to do it myself, that I never followed through yet typing this review reminds me that my wall needs a Las Vegas Weekly framed behind museum archival glass.
Every single time I have visited Las Vegas Weekly offices (verify the check-ins), every single representative of the publication has been helpful, even when it is just helping out an avid longtime reader who is lost on campus because they've recently relocated their offices for the third time.
Pro Tip: They put on a lot of contests and I think people seldom enter them because I win a lot of them. Or, perhaps they enjoy me travelling to shitty Henderson that often. I am not even sure why I share this: it's going to be zero giveaway wins for me from now on.
Final Thought
Daft Punk is playing in my house.
