Esquire posted it’s top 25 movies of 2018 and I can’t even decide if I agree with their choices because the majority of the movies on the list never played in Las Vegas. I know we live in a cultural wasteland. We’re a city at the bottom of all the education lists and the bottom […]

Maria by Callas

I couldn’t help but make a connection early […]
