No Green Felt Journal in Vegas Seven this week because of a production error, but there’s always next week to look forward to, and I’ve got a piece about the promotion of Las Vegas in the Business Press this week:
Maybe it isn't. While the ads are amusing and have a fair shot of “going viral,” they have a subtext that we might want to think twice about broadcasting.
This subtext goes back to the general premise of the ad, that a beleaguered worker drone has to resort to trickery to take a vacation to Las Vegas. We rarely need excuses to do things that are good for us. The implication is that Las Vegas is bad for us.

The piece I wrote for this week’s Vegas Seven will see the light of day soon. Unless it’s been edited down since I last saw it, the column is a real milestone–my first overt Star Trek reference. That, and it’s features some insightful analysis, of course.
