CV — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:39:31 +0000

Realistically 90% of the stuff I put on my blog is useless stuff but I enjoy doing it and I don’t know why? I think I just like playing with the images in PhotoShop or something. And for the video is just plain fun to upload to YouTube, who knows?!

Anyways I snapped video of the free pretzels from Auntie Anne’s Pretzels at the Las Vegas Premium Outlet stores. I’m screwed up, yeah I know!

Free pretzels anyone?

Crazy Asian guy dancing on Lougheed Highway

CV — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:00:07 +0000

The return of the crazy Asian guy dancing on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby. I was waiting for my wife at VanCity on Lougheed in Burnaby and my son was sleeping in the back so I went for a quick drive so he stays sleeping ( he wakes up if we sit still in the SUV too long..)

And there he was like clock work on Lougheed Highway near the Cactus Club/Tim Hortons, the wild dancing Asian man. Not bad actually, he gets paid to clown around, what could be better than that? Cheers to you dancing Asian guy, you make my day every time I see you!! Awesome.

LED Light Faucet Gadget In My WashRoom

CV — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:45:30 +0000

My wife bought this cool led light faucet gadget that changes colors depending on if you are running cold water or hot water through the faucet. The price tag was $5.00, but usually I don’t give a s hi*t about BS things that cost alot but are basically useless. This is still useless but it’s only $5.00, so whatever.. It makes my washroom look like some pimp nightclub, lol.

She bought it at some Chinese store on Hastings Street, here in Vancouver. Maybe I should start selling these on EBay for $30.00, think that they would sell? Hmm…….

Merry Christmas From Groucho Marx

CV — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 05:03:25 +0000

I dressed up as Santa Clause or in this case “Santa Cos”. I look more like Groucho Marx than Santa. I guess wearing your mom’s pink bathrobe, along with a moustache with glasses doesn’t cut it. It kinda scared the hell out of my son, my daughter looks scared as well, eep. Anyways it’s on YouTube for the world to see, enjoy.

Yours truly,
Santa Cos.

I’ll be back in Vegas in January for a few days, I miss you already Vegas!!

Interviewed By CNBC About Investing In Las Vegas

CV — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:34:19 +0000

Since Las Vegas has been featured in the news quite a bit regarding foreclosures and the down turn of the real estate market here, CNBC came out here to Las Vegas to do a news report on it. The focus of CNBC for this certain news clip was out of country investors buying up foreclosures at discount prices and the fierce competition. Long story short I was asked by my realtor David Brownell if I wanted to be interviewed by CNBC since I was an out of country investor. I saw the video clip on TV and then I found it on their website. I also ended up using my digital camera and filming the video on the NBC website (just in case they take it down!).

Here is the link to the NBC clip on their site:

“Canadian investor Cosimo Vero, lol.. Sounds so weird hearing that.”

Here is my video of the video above (in case they take it down ever)

And there is my 15 minutes of fame. If you want my autograph, just send me $5 with PayPal and I will email it to you, lol.

Happy Friday From Las Vegas

CV — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:57:28 +0000

It’s early 6am on Friday Dec 4th and the rest of the family is still sleeping so I can squeeze in a quick blog post before I do a bit of work then we go for our walk, and then back to work again. The temperature is dropping a bit, but nothing like Canada however you can feel a pinch of coldness in the morning air now.

Lone Mountain is 4 blocks away from us, and it has a trail so we tried to use it however the baby stroller got stuck in the sand and rocks so we had to turn back, ugh… Pretty cool desert scenery though, it reminds of all those western shows such as Bonanza…

there they are…

I actually haven’t seen too many cactus plants in Vegas, you would think they would be all over but there are very few. The landscape they plant in Las Vegas is mostly palm trees, so you can’t find many cactus plants in this desert. This was taken at Lone Mountain

I got my Def Jam shirt finally, when we went back to the Las Vegas Premium outlet stores and the Adidas store had my size in stock! I hate Ed Hardy stuff, BIG TIME, it looks like hell to me but this shirt even thought it’s a little busy looked pretty good (but what do I know..).

On the way to the strip there was traffic backed up and I thought it was just rush hour, but it was because of this…

Outside of The Venetian Hotel, or is this Venice?

The original Las Vegas hotel, the Flamingo was started by the mob in particular Bugsy Seigel (jewish gangster) and his buddies Lucky Luciano and others. This city that was built by the mob…

The Venetian & New York, New York Hotel in Vegas

CV — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:48:02 +0000

I have been a tour guide the last week, while my parents have come down for a visit. We checked out a bunch of the casino hotels and for this post we visited The Venetian, as well as New York, New York. The go balls out in these hotels because they want you to come and visit them, so they do super elaborate things that will blow you away.

seriously, this is funny as hell. I have nothing against anyone I just thought this was funny.

This is inside the Venetian hotel, they have their own water ways in the hotel, and also outside of it. It’s truly insane..

This is a town square inside The Venetian hotel, it looks like it’s daytime even thought it was 8:00 pm… Unreal..

Merry Christmas

the gondolas coming down the canal. The lineup to get on a gondola was easily over 1.5 hours.

This is inside New York, New York Hotel, it looks like they pulled it brick from brick from lower Manhattan and brought it out here to the desert. Balls out!

This is inside a hotel, complete with Sirrico’s Italian pizza place and GreenBurg’s Jewish deli, just like NYC. Which way to Brooklyn? Fugedaboutit!

Yes this is in a hotel..

Us rolling back to North Las Vegas from the strip, how peaceful, awwwwwwww.

Our Las Vegas Chateau Versailles 3 BedRoom Condo

CV — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:10:28 +0000

Some friends and family wanted to see video of our place here in Las Vegas, so I did a quick video of the place room to room. This is what you can get for $100,00 US, in a foreclosure market and this is the more expensive condos on the market, amazing deals here in Vegas.

Anyways the video is below, I need to get on the exercise bike at the gym to burn ff some of the Doritos I ate last night, ugh!
