It seems, according to the NY Times, that the Swiss are having a problem with too many people wandering around the Swiss Alps naked. To their credit, there reportedly is some strong support for allowing people to do as they like. Others are eager to make ever-more laws restricting people’s freedom.

We at CBLV like it very much when we happen upon naked people, and wish it happened more often.

In fact, Greg and I (your webmaster) were just saying today that it’s exactly the best time of year right now to take a video camera out to the Valley of Fire and maybe come back with some new photos and video for the web site. If so, then I think we’ll invite Ace, and any other local escorts who may be interested in joining us.

I guess we’d probably have to take turns watching out for park rangers who maybe would take exception to naked hiking and naked picture taking.

Naked Hiking in the Swiss Alps

Our oldest gay bar (doing its part to promote sin in Sin City since 1976) got into a whole lot of trouble a while back. Seems there were some folks having sex right there in the bar. Shocking. Shocking to the local Talibaptists, anyway.

Snicks Place is a little bitty bar a couple blocks North of the Stratosphere. You need to get buzzed in, after the bartender has a look at you through the video camera. Last year, an undercover cop made himself a Snicks regular so that, after a while, everybody would feel comfortable letting their guard (and their pants) down.

CARSON CITY, Nev. – December 31, 2008 – Nevada gambling regulators have filed a complaint against a Las Vegas gay bar that holds a slot machine license, alleging that several patrons engaged in sex acts in public areas of the bar.

The Gaming Control Board complaint filed against Snick’s Place and licensee Dominic Vitale lists seven counts, each punishable by a fine of up to $100,000. The club’s license for up to 15 slot machines also could be revoked.

“The conduct here is so over the top and out of control that it warrants swift and very definitive action,” Control Board member Sayre said Wednesday when asked about the complaint filed with the board’s parent Nevada Gaming Commission.

It looked for a while like Snicks might go under for good. But the latest news is good news.

CARSON CITY, Nev. – March 11, 2008 – Nevada gambling regulators are recommending a $50,000 fine and a 6-month suspension of a slot machine license to resolve a complaint alleging that several patrons in a Las Vegas gay bar engaged in sex acts in public areas of the bar.

The settlement signed by Snick’s Place owner Dominick Vitale and state Gaming Control Board members would resolve a 7-count complaint filed in December. Each count is punishable by a fine of up to $100,000. Also, the club’s license for up to 15 slot machines could have been revoked.

The complaint, based on observations by an undercover Control Board agent between late April and mid-June 2008, states that in one case two patrons had intercourse in a public area of the bar, and in other cases patrons were seen engaging in other sex acts.

This part is our favorite:

The various sexual activities by patrons tend to reflect “poorly on the reputation of gaming in the state of Nevada,” the complaint added.

How perfectly ridiculous. Again we have cause to wonder. What do they call it Sin City for, anyway??

In Las Vegas, they give you free liquor at the bar, the better to impair your judgment while you’re sitting there in front of a one-armed bandit built right into the bar itself, tempting you to gamble away all your money. You can drink yourself stupid and lose everything – and that is perfectly all right with the Gaming Control Board. But it’s only nudity and sex that reflect poorly on the reputation of gaming in Nevada? Does that make any sense to you??

We don’t know for sure, but we tend to doubt that any genuine patrons at Snicks Place objected to the public sex. And, in any case, if you don’t like a bar then, well, there are plenty more for you to choose among.

Silly Nevada state officials should find themselves some actual problems to get worked up about and leave people alone.

Greg and I (your humble webmaster) met up with Ace on Monday night at the Fun Hog Ranch. A very good time was had by all.

And now Ace is our newest escort listing! www.callboylv.com/escort/ace/

Ace has been escorting for some time now so, while he is new to CallBoyLV, he’s not new to his profession. You’ll be in expert hands (or whatever) if you give Ace a call.

We often find cause to wonder why Las Vegas is called Sin City as there seems to be some considerable degree of ambivalence here on the question of what sorts of sins Nevada’s citizens will tolerate. So it’s with some dismay that we take notice of a new coffee shop in a little town in Maine that features topless wait staff (both women and men).

We don’t know any such coffee shop in so-called Sin City!

However, Our Greg says he’ll be happy to serve you refreshments, and wearing nothing but his big smile

If you want to catch a free show, I’ll be shopping for underwear tonight at GetBooked.

It’s on Paradise South of Harmon in the Las Vegas Fruit Loop between 7 and 7:30.

Don’t let the people at Get Booked know.

Those wishing to help me are more than welcome to lend advice. If you buy me a pair you may be greatly rewarded!

It seems that the Kellogs brand has taken a hit on account of its mistreatment of Olympics hero Michael Phelps. Nice to see a little justice!

Out of the 5,600 company reputations Vanno monitors, Kellogg ranked ninth before it booted Phelps. Now it’s ranked 83. Not even an industry-wide peanut scare inflicted as much damage on the food company’s reputation.

One may suppose that this widely circulated SNL skit accounts for much of the plunge in their fortunes.

Here is news from our friends at The Blue Moon Resort. They’re having some porn stars over for a get-together.

I know how to have a good time.

For example… Last night I had a very good time!

First, we made a stop at Get Booked, which is a gay bookstore in the Las Vegas ‘Fruit Loop’ on Paradise Rd.

I got just a little bit carried away with myself in the Video Room. (We were very quiet about it. Shhh, don’t tell anybody at Get Booked)

Greg shops at Get Booked

Then to Mandalay Bay for dinner at their high-end hamburger joint, with a brief stop at their penny slot machines. Here I am playing Johnny Vegas!

Then to see the current salute to Chinese New Year in the garden at the Belagio (fantastic).

Greg Smart visits Belagio

Then for a bit of window shopping at Belagio (and there is me in the window!)

We left Belagio just in time for a fountain show choreographed to the song, “Hey Big Spender.” I’ve decided THAT’s my song now!

Then a quick pass through Planet Hollywood – how come there are only go-go girls performing for the gamblers, I wonder? That’s me in the photo outside of PH with the Eiffel Tower in back – what an amazing city I live in! (Did you know? As seen from Space, Las Vegas is the brightest city on Earth.)

Finally, for a bit of high culture, we attended the NeonFest, the International Film Festival.

Hey Big Spender – Call me now and, next time, let’s have a good time together!

Senate Republican hypocrite David Vitter has a new opponent for re-election, a porn star named Stormy Daniels.

“In July 2008, Vitter joined accused bathroom-stall sex solicitor Sen. Larry Craig in co-sponsoring the anti-gay-marriage Marriage Protection Amendment, then addressed a massive antiabortion rally on the National Mall three days after Barack Obama’s inauguration.

“I personally have no issues with his sexual activities or his sexual preferences or whatever it is that he wants to do. My issues with him — who am I to judge, right? My issue with him is that he is a hypocrite and call me what you will but you can’t call me a hypocrite,” said Daniels.

We like Michael Phelps!

We don NOT like the Kellogs company.
