The Las
Vegas Weekly
2005 Readers' Choice Awards
At
last! The armed guards, escorted by genetically enhanced attack dogs,
have dropped off the results of the 2005 Readers Choice balloting. No
more secrecy. Hackers, you can stop trying to infiltrate our main-frame
to discern the Best Place to Take a Secret Lover (as if!). All will be
revealed now.
At
this juncture, let us say this: thanks. We received an unprecedented
gush of ballots, enough to wear out a temp agency's worth of compilers,
which means that the winners in each category won with a lot of votes.
So the selections are that much more trustworthy—they've been ratified
again and again by Weekly readers, whom we've found to be exceptional in
their taste and judgment. So we hope this package proves useful and
entertaining, whether you're looking for the city's best Mexican food, a
great people-watching spot or just want to ponder the wisdom of Oscar
Goodman as Best Local Hero. Enjoy!
Monti Rock III
Las Vegan Most in Need of a Reality Show
He's had brushes with reality TV, but no
cathode-ray drama could possibly encompass the reality that is Monti,
the world's greatest entreprenwhore, happy has-been and any other bon
mot that you can think of. Umpteen appearances on Johnny Carson's show,
a role in Saturday Night Fever, a million-selling single, his own
magazine column and those fabulous stuffed cats. Robin Leach might show
up at more events, but everyone knows it's not a true party unless
Monti's there.
Good Luck, Monti - You deserve it.
