When my boy left the east coast to join all of us out in the Las Vegas desert, there were a few things he missed from back home. Cool weather, hanging out with Snookie and good pizza. If he knows anything, its pizza and his love for pies has him on a mission- to find the best pizza in Las Vegas.
As a tourist, I never really just how big of a city Vegas really was. When I moved to the city of Sin in 2004, I couldn’t believe how spread out this town was once you left the strip. I once drove an entire hour without any traffic to meet a girl and never left the city limits. Okay, maybe I do remember making a couple of wrong turns during that 3am drunken drive, but my point is- There are a lot of Pizza Restaurants in Las Vegas.
He started a website a while back focused on providing fellow Las Vegas locals, as well as weekend tourists, a complete and personal guide to the Best Pizza in Las Vegas. Avoiding the big corporate pizza restaurant chains, he provides a full directory of all of the pizza places in Las Vegas. Complete with delivery numbers and addresses, you can easily find a good joint near you.
Perhaps the best part about this pizza blog is his detailed reviews. Join him as virtual takes you right into each pizza joint and gives you the cheesy insight complete with all the toppings with a 1st hand look at what these pizzerias are all about. Taste buds, stories, and pictures make for colorful and mouth watering reviews. I must warn you, after visiting BestPizzainLasVegas.com, you won’t be able to resist the urge to order your own pizza.
As I sit and ponder about the past I smile as I remember these 5 friends and the good times we had together.
Kristina Smith, Blake Kelso, Kalli Horne, Joe Busi, Courtney Faber
Kristina Smith
I can’t say I’ve met anyone else who actually made “Ke$sha” look like sober church girl! We first met when she came to the house after responding to a roommate ad for a spot that opened up in the Seville house. She stuck around and that night we met up with Shawn and Michaela at Cadillac Ranch. We put down a lot of beers, shots and more than I could count. We were the last two left in the bar as it was closing and we had to go. Unfortunately she had drove and I couldn’t drive stick. She convinced my drunk ass that she could and we ended up about 3 blocks before I realized her eyes were closed. Luckily my roommate Blake was awake and came to the rescue. We had many good times after that, and plenty of times that pissed each other off, haha, I remember the time I got pissed for some reason and took the phone out of your hand and threw it across the room. I don’t know what the fuck I was thinking. I miss you smile, I miss your jalapeno cheesy eggs and most of all, i miss your FACE! I hope life is treating you well and you continue to your dreams!
Blake Kelso
I first met Blake at the Excalibur Poker Room during a 1/2 NL game at the new electronic tables they had for a trial period. It failed, they brought the dealers back after 6 months. I had entered my Poker Stars name “Sandviper23″ and after a few hands Blake had recognized my name. It turns out we had played quite a few hands together online and we got to talking. Blake was pretty wasted that night but we did talking about the new poker house. About a month later he moved into our 9 bedroom poker house and we’ve been friends ever since. He met his girlfriend Lee at one of our parties and they are still together after 2 years. Here is a video of his birthday party at the poker house when we through him in the pool! Haha! Hope poker is going well for you buddy! 2012 WSOP Champion! You’re due!
Kalli Horne
I first met Kalli at the Seville house with Ashley and we became roommates for several months after. She was always down to do anything, but also capable of changing her mind on the way out the door. Horne, Dash, what is your real last name anyway? One of the funniest things I remember was when we were sitting on the couch and you gave your password away to someone who told you they had naked pictures of Breese or something? haha, i don’t remember exactly, but BAM! you’re facebook got hacked and you struggled for an hour to try to beat them back into it. Straight up, the most down to earth and chill girl I know, even though you love to hate on the ones you love, its all in good fun. Until Vegas brings us together again, bottoms up!
Joe Busti
Its been a while since I’ve seen Joe. We first met through John Tollison and the WPDG “Wed Poker Discussion Group” which we all attended regularly way back in they day. 2004? We became roommates in my first Vegas house and played more internet poker that year than I ever remember. Joe was the only person I knew that was so into grinding that instead of taking breaks to go pee, he’d keep empty Gatorade bottles in his room so he didn’t have to miss any hands. After moving back to Austin, he’d occasionally come back to Vegas and rent the out the closet under the stairs cause it had just enough room in the back to fit a twin size mattress. Joe is doing great now and has a beautiful family. I wish him all the best!
Courtney Faber
I met Courtney back in 2005, when I first moved to Las Vegas. Courtney didn’t drink back then, so our adventures were not of the partying type per say… but more of the random things that normal people wouldn’t consider fun. One day she decided to go on a Canadian road trip with one of my roommates at the time, and although I knew it was headed for disaster, they both seemed to think it would be a good idea. I still don’t know exactly what happened… Anyway, I never met a sweeter girl ;-) Miss you! Hope all is well!
As I sit and ponder about the past I smile as I remember these 5 friends and the good times we had together.
Rachel Anderson, Jacob Cassidy, Ashley Hoppe, Edward Ellson, Kelsey Thompson
Rachel Anderson
I met Rachel for the first time at a Halloween Party I was throwing at my house in 2009. She was wearing some kinda of female Jason looking costume. She probably accounted for 50% of my lifetime text conversations over the next year. She was working a dreadful early AM shift as a nurse at a clinic near my house and I have insomnia so we would usually be the only ones awake at that time.
We went on to be good friends, from countless parties, her mom’s enchaladas, the crazy secret mansion party and the night she came over with her mom and got so wasted I had to carrying her over my shoulder and drop her in passenger seat of the car. Thanks for not puking on me! Miss you Rachel!! Go Lakers! cough cough
Jacob Cassidy
I first met Jacob when he came by the Seville House in response to a roommate ad. We had 1 spot open in our 9 bedroom house and had to pick someone within the next week. Jacob’s first impression wasn’t great, he was really sick when he came over, didn’t seem to be in a good mood and we ended up picking someone else to move in.
Little did we know, Jacob was a great dude. Over the next couple of months Jacob partied with us everywhere and we got to know him much better and he took the next room that opened up. Jacob was a great roommate and is still a good friend. I learned a lot about wordpress from him, which has helped me make my blog what it is today.
Lol, I remember a website idea we were trying to make. It was called VegasInsider.com. We took hidden cameras and microphones into clubs and would talk to women and film it in an attempt to show what to do and most of the time, what “not to do” when approaching women in bars. I wish you all of the best Jacob and hopefully we’ll get to catch up soon!
Jacob has a few websites of his own. www.JacobCassidy.com where you can find links to his Web Design site and his Professional Massage page.
Ashley Hoppe
I also met Ashley for the first time as she came to the Rockin Seville House in response to a roommate ad. We had the ultimate party house and I’ve made so many good friends because of it. Although Ashley never been a roommate, it felt like she was part of the house. She came over all the time for our poker tournaments and kicked my ass in beer pong. ”Sometimes?”.
Well, enough of the time that when I was given a sponsorship to play in the 2010 World Series of Beer Pong I asked her to be my partner. We completely dominated! .. 3 of the 10 teams we played at least. It was good times! My beer pong skills may not be as sharp since spending the last year overseas but my beer drinking skills are as good as ever, I’m ready for a rematch!
Eddie Ellson
Eddie was one of the original roommates when the Rockin Seville House was getting started. Probably the loudest mouthed one we’ve had, and that’s saying a lot with all of the characters we had. He loved to party and loved to meet girls on the internet. So we already had a lot in common before we realized just how much we both loved the Atlanta Braves! Still in pain right now from their playoffs eliminate last week. So Sick!
Eddie was a good guy and always tried to give value when he could, like the tiki torches and party decorations he would get for the house. You’re always welcome back if I end up starting another party house, bounty hunters or not, I know the real you now. The last time I remember seeing you was when my sister Chelsea was visiting and you went into the water foundation on Las Vegas BLVD and slipped when you were getting out. You were pretty wasted, crazy story I remember you telling me afterwards though…. something you waking up naked in a hotel room and a girl robbing you of everything after she drug you?
Kelsey Thompson
I met Kelsey in January 2009 through a mutual friend, Brooke. They were visiting Vegas and crashed at my place. Kelsey soon moved to Vegas and we became good friends. What I want to know is if her friend’s baby is from one of my friend’s list above. Wont’ say names, but I always wonder what the truth behind that was…
Yadda yadda yadda, over a year ago I had an appearance on a television show called Pawn Stars. I had never really seen it before but apparently the show is pretty popular in the states as well as overseas. Since then, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about it from everyone. Is Pawn Stars Real? Is it Fake? What did you every do with the Thermometer? So… I posted this video talking a little about the show.
History Channel. Season 2 Episode 20 – Spooning Paul Revere. Adam is in the second scene trying to sell his Thermometer he got from Belgium.
“The Pawn Stars have a chance to buy a historic silver spoon made by a true American legend–Paul Revere. Can they make a deal and scoop it up, or will this piece of patriotic history ride off into the night? Then the Old Man is presented with a handmade cuckoo clock from the 1800′s. Can he tick-talk his way into a deal, or will this negotiation drive him cuckoo? And later a man tries to sell a mysterious vintage archery bow. Will Rick pluck the right string and make the deal, or will he end up missing the target altogether?”
How to be on Pawn Stars? Where is Pawn Stars in Las Vegas? Is Chumlee really stupid?
