Weekly, this blog will seek out the food, the fodder and the seedy underbelly that makes tourists come back for more and the locals stay local.  This is more than just your mother's blog, it is an invitation and view of one sinner among the sheep.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sinandthecity.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/887947777859613472/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sinandthecity.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Messr Sinful</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10821994807171202664</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>1</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887947777859613472.post-7784625645991041436</id><published>2011-04-07T13:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-07T13:36:40.763-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='douche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slider truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='streats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sin city'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zak bagans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snowono'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='las vegas'/><title type='text'>I gave this up for Lent?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;It’s a Thursday afternoon in Sin City, hereto known as "SC" to me and my dominion.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is a workaday grind&amp;nbsp;and unfortunately I am not a talented enough or popular enough writer to be anywhere other than at my nine to five job.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is my first post on Sin and the City, and like Carrie Bradshaw from the television and cinema themed title I am stealing, am ready to share my adventures, post my reviews and write my words as I navigate this enormous valley.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Hopefully I can find some humor within this and it will come across.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Bear in mind that I am not a professional blogger; I am very sarcastic and caustic.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This blog may not be for you, but I do promise a weekly ride.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Watch for my first update next Thursday.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On deck for this week is a visit to the newest foodie item, calling itself culture, the Las Vegas StrEATs festival at the refurbished &lt;a href="http://www.elcortezhotelcasino.com/"&gt;El Cortez Hotel&lt;/a&gt; (651 East Ogden Avenue) on Saturday the 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; from 6 PM on until the dawn most likely.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There is a promise of food, clothing, music and probably a little bit of the naughty.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Food trucks with names like “&lt;a href="http://slidinthru.com/"&gt;Slider Truck&lt;/a&gt;” and “&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/SnOwONOShaveIce"&gt;SnowOno&lt;/a&gt;” will be there.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This newest piece of food entertainment has caught on like wildfire with everyone opening up and wrapping a truck.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Is this “culture”?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://tastinglasvegas.com/2011/03/15/do-food-trucks-equal-culture/"&gt;Some say no&lt;/a&gt;, I hold my decision until I wake up in a sodium coma Sunday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Las Vegas Word of the day:&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;
