Congrats Modern Family

Our favorite late-night comedy, Modern Family, took the Emmy this past weekend for Best TV Comedy series. I mean really, who doesn't watch this show! Congrats to all the nominees and winners. Although a win by Colombiana Sofia Vergara would have been awesome, it was still great to have her nominated. Hasta la proxima.

Some great photos with some great people. All in memory of you Ramon Ernesto Baez. Full of life, energy and always in good spirits, what else could someone ask for in a person.

A Vegas Experience: Wet Republic

Want the true Vegas experience? I suggest heading to Wet Republic at the MGM Grand. Wet Republic is the ultimate pool party adventure. You can spend an entire day here...I would hope so for the $50 entry fee! To be honest, now that I think about it, it is Vegas and this is a party you'll never forget. The music is great and everyone wants to have a good time.

Gotta love one of their slogans as well: Declaring war on nightlife. A 2,500-square-foot lounge, dance the day away as world renowned DJs rock the turntables with the hottest beats. Lounge by or in the pool with a cocktail or unwind in the privacy of your very own Bungalow. Celebrities and hot entertainers headline weekly and monthly events...transforming the 4,100 square-foot sundeck into a stage, and making Wet Republic the hottest destination for premier entertainment.

Mock Border Crossing

Okay so it's understandable when visiting Mexico, to experience it at best you should skip Cancun and the tourists traps. But since when are "alternative" tourism trips in season? According to an article on MSNBC.COM, "a hardy few choose lesser-known tourist sites where they are chased down by immigration agents or risk their lives in dangerous slums" So that is exactly what the travel groups do; they re-enact an immigration run which includes I.C.E. agents who chase you and put you in the back of a car if you can't make the trip.

Best part. This has been going on for six years. "The trips began six years ago in a bid to draw attention to the plight of undocumented immigrants — nearly 7 million Mexicans lived illegally in the United States as of January 2009," the article continues to say. Is this even sane? If you read the whole article, the writer interviews European tourists. I can't see an American attempting to do this tour. Would you want to experience immigration runs?
