Ryan Dunn, Thanks For The Memories by CitySpoon

34 year old Ryan Dunn died in a car crash in Pennsylvania early Monday morning. Many of you know Ryan from Jackass The Movie along with the MTV Series Jackass.

Prior to the crash, Dunn posted a photo to Twitter, that shows him drinking with friends.

An unidentified passenger also died in the crash. TMZ reported Dunn was the driver of the car and the story is still developing.


Twitter has been overrun by the subject of Ryan Dunn and his death the past few hours. It’s also followed by the trend of drunk driving and people who are victims or have lost people in accidents.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan Dunn and his family as well as the entire Jackass family. He will be missed.



Travel Tip: Free Shows in Vegas by CitySpoon

Over the last few years Las Vegas has gone through so many changes. Celebrity Chefs have come in to open restaurants; Jose Andres, Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, etc. Even high end shopping has expanded with places like Barney’s, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany’s, etc. One of the biggest changes is bringing Broadway shows into town. We lined the strip with The Phantom of The Opera, The Lion King, Jersey Boys. But we have a tip for you for some free shows when you come into town! Yep free is a deal!
Sure it’s not Cirque or Les Miserable, but it’s free and it’s fun.

Located in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. They have lifelike animatronic figures who are fighting it out to who gets to rule Atlantis. Is it fire or ice going to be dominant? You decide…Other than that, there’s a cool 50,000 gallon saltwater aquarium there with over 100 species of fish and plants.

If you’re visiting Bellagio or cruising by. You definitely want to catch the Fountains. You can watch the fountains dance and shoot water hundreds of feet into the air to the sounds of Sinatra, symphonies, or songs like Nessun Dorma
It’s a beautiful site. Great date place to walk hand and hand, feel all warm and fuzzy romanticlike. Shows are usually every half hour starting in the early afternoon and every 15 minutes 7pm to midnight. Subject to change during high winds.

Sirens of TI

The Sirens is located outside TI, it’s like this Electronica high seas adventure that happens nightly. They sing and dance and they’re scantily clad women and washboard ab master seamen that put on a show usually 6pm, 8pm, and 10pm. It’s not America’s Best Dance Crew, but it’s fun to see and F-R-E-E! Who doesn’t like that deal?

World’s Largest Permanent Circus at Circus – Circus

Further down the strip in Circus Circus there high above the casino floor, the World’s Largest Permanent Circus performers do death-defying stunts every half-hour between 11 a.m. and midnight.
Acts include jugglers, unicyclists, trapeze artists and acrobats, oh my! Each act lasts about 10 minutes.
When you walk through the casino, follow the signs toward the midway – Otherwise you will be stuck joining the Circus and it could be dangerous.
The midway features Carnie games of more than 200 games of skill and chance; In the evening, the rotating “Horse-A-Round” bar featured in the movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” is definitely a must see if you’re a big Hunter S Thompson Fan

Masquerade in the Sky

At the Rio there’s a huge stage with floating “Floats” overhead with dancers, singers, and people who like to chuck beads at you. No you don’t have to take your top off. It’s family friendly. But it’s a smaller version replica of Carnival or Mardi Gras….So where’s the kingcake?

Freemont Street Experience

If you’re up to it, a short cab ride downtown, or even if you’re driving…it’s where old Las Vegas is. A place to get cheap drinks, cheap food, and fun times. Freemont Street Experience is a covered area with Ziplining, free concerts on weekends and an awesome lightshow above. It plays accordingly with the song they blast nightly on a 500,000 watt sound system and 12.5 million lights. It usually starts every night from 8pm to midnight on an hourly basis. Yes I said Ziplining. It’s cool and new and fun! I did see some people get stuck once. It was pretty funny!

The Lion Habitat
MGM Grand Hotel & Casino

To honor the lion and help safeguard its preservation for future generations, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino has created a one-of-a-kind Lion Habitat as a showcase for public education and appreciation for this majestic creature of nature. The lion has been a part of the MGM heritage for many years, beginning with the legendary Leo, whose roars have welcomed generations of moviegoers to epics of the silver screen. The Lion Habitat is open daily from 11am-7pm. It’s pretty cool to see them close up and laying there. Sometimes I just wanna see them go crazy! But it doesn’t happen that often. It’s free and a must go!
