New scrutiny is directed at the 'happiest mayor in the United States', with the running a scathing article on 'Vegas Juice' that outsiders face. At the same time the Nevada Ethics Commission has agreed to take jurisdiction over a Steve Miller complaint where-in Steve points out the numerous relationships and tie-in's that exist between the Mayor, his former law firm of Goodman, Chesnoff & Keach and the recent owners of the Crazy Horse 2.

The problem partially stems from the owners of the Crazy Horse 2 being "bad neighbors" and allowing an over-the-top number of falling down drunks loose on our streets. I say Partially because the Crazy Horse 2 has done its share to remain a high profile joint getting negative reviews; but, more so because former City Counsel member Steve Miller is so phenomenally good at being a pain in the ass.

In a nutshell, Hizzoner Oscar has been wonderful for Las Vegas and the it's image. If we are a people that can look past our Nation's Vice President shooting people, I certainly believe we can look past Oscar Good being one of the best Criminal Defense Attorneys in the World, after all, the only thing the Mayor is guilty of is being himself.

I, for one, sincerely hope Mayor Goodman renews his Senate interest after he wins his 3rd (and final) term as the Mayor of Las Vegas.

Goodman loves Las Vegas, and judging by the ever expanding, ever prospering and ever entertaining local scene, I'd say he doing a fine job keeping Las Vegas on the very top as the Entertainment Capitol of the World.

Given a choice between politicians and the mob, I'll take the Mob...at least they are honest about cheating you.
