If you are going to be in Las Vegas this weekend, be sure to check out the newly opening (Midnight tonight) SLS Las Vegas. This is a new Casino/Resort on the location of the old Sahara Hotel/Casino. Like the Stardust and the Old Sands, a legendary location on the North end of the ‘Strip’.

From their website…..:

SLS Las Vegas brings its playful, yet approachable sophistication to the legendary north end of The Strip and the site of the former Sahara Hotel & Casino. It was here that legends like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. crooned and cocktailed, and the only Vegas hotel where The Beatles would stay.  Over 60 years later, SLS will rekindle Vegas’ iconic past with over 1,600 guest rooms and suites, an engaging gaming experience, two expansive pools, and its diverse collection of acclaimed sbe restaurant and nightlife brands. Featuring Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, Katsuya by Starck, The Sayers Club, Foxtail, The Griddle Cafe, Fred Segal, Umami Burger, 800 Degrees, Ku Noodle and LiFE, SLS Las Vegas offers a destination that captures both the essence Vegas’ legendary heritage and its contemporary cool…and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Wow! I just saw this posted on FaceBook. You can find the story over at “Screen Daily“. This guy was a legend in the screenwriting business. I think most regarded him as the Master Teacher on the subject.

Me and Hollywood will miss him. Thank goodness that he published a lot of material, so his knowledge will go on for future screenwriters.

So long Syd, you left this place better than when you came into it.
