After a long day of hard work and hard play, Phil isn’t done. He is seen here in the Gold Spike diner in the wee hours of the night, deep in his research for the Encyclopedia Vegasana.
Stinky and Matt filming for the Travel Channel. They did not let us keep the car.
Through the Big Empire, we made a lot of great friends. Matt is seen here with Bill T., who joined us for many soirees and remains a friend to this day.
A few of the crew (Mike, Steve, Robert, Jerry, and Jeff) amass in the El Cortez Cabaña Suites lobby before heading out for the day to collect information and generate content for the Big Empire.
Matt and Burt prepare to go undercover as Chippendales dancers for a Big Empire exposé. Investigative journalism at its finest.
We met a lot of interesting people through the Big Empire. And as the years went by, they got more interesting. Here’s Dan saying hello to a couple of them.
Although it may seem like the Big Empire was a very professional business, sometimes things got carried away. Like the time the gang first discovered Four Loko malt beverage.
And,finally, when the work is done, the craps are shot, and the strawberry daiquiris are drunk, it is time to sleep. Not later, when you get to the room, but right now, this very instant.
