Yes, it is "West Las Vegas" ... that's an area designation, not a geographic/directional one. Though it was, a long time ago, the west end of the city, since the bulk of the city was east of Fremont Street.

This is an insane world we live in. Every time I think we live in relative safety and peace compared to, say, Iraq or Israel, something like this comes along and it all goes to hell...

1. All of you who left comments lambasting the Sun for this story and defending Stevie D. have either profited from business or personal relationships with him, so your own arguments are tainted by the cash in your hands.

2. Maybe if Stevie wouldn't hide behind his lawyer and actually tell his side of the story, this would have been more balanced. You know how you head off creating a persona that causes reactions such as this article and, um, IRS investigations? You act as an upfront, transparent executive, not a "media shy" mysterioso.

3. I've never personally met Stevie D., only dealt with him via publicists, and he seems to exhibit the same personality quirks other people of "power" (both real and imagined) in the nightlife/food & beverage industry do: An obsessive need to control their images to the point of appearing reclusive, or on the opposite extreme, publicly obnoxious. It's Vegas, baby.

4. Why is the Sun doing a story like this? It's timely and relevant in light of the IRS's investigation of PMG. And yes, Sun editors, I agree with the comments of a few folks above: You've opened the can of worms, you may as well follow-up this story with deeper investigations into the accusers and naysayers of Stevie quoted in your article, lest you appear vindictive and biased.

I'm with Welborn ... as one of the poor bastiches who had to maintain the old site for about two years, I have to say GOOD SHOW!! And to those who complain that the paper continues to lean "left": Maybe it's just that your idea of "right" is wrong.
