H/t to @VitalVegas for beating us to this myth. But we thought the story behind the story worthy of its own story...

It's banned because extra oxygen skyrockets fire risk—any spark or cigarette (common in old casinos) would ignite way faster and hotter, violating insurance and fire codes. Vegas Gaming Commission even tests air levels regularly to stop it. (Side note: the "pumping oxygen" claim is a myth anyway; they just use strong AC and scents.)

Everyone got it wrong on Feb. 27, even @TMZ ! I just couldn't make an airtight case in time for last Monday's column.

I thought Origin India was the best Indian restaurant Las Vegas ever had. I kept bugging the R-J's restaurant reviewer, Heidi Riniella, to review it. Eventually, she did. And her lede read something like, "my co-worker wouldn't stop annoying me to try this place, and I'm glad he didn't, because he was right." The review hang in their entranceway for years.

Gymkhana @AriaLV is as good as the buzz (and difficulty getting a reservation) suggests. They don’t ask about spice level, but not a concern, the heat has been reeled back from their acclaimed London location. Complete mastery of sauces and seasoning. Located next to Catch.

🚨 How to force Las Vegas resorts to lower their prices:
1. Stop playing bad games. If nobody sits down at 6/5 blackjack tables and triple zero roulette wheels, casinos will bring back better odds.
2. Stay off-Strip or Downtown. When Strip resorts see visitors choosing the competition, they adjust.
3. Stop buying overpriced crap at the resort. No $13 candy bars. No $20 mini bar water bottles. Walk 5 minutes down the street to a pharmacy for all your snack and beverage needs.
4. Eat off-Strip. Skip the $35 resort burger. Some of the best restaurants in Vegas are 5 minutes away by car and cost half as much.
5. Skip the bottle service and VIP upsells. The 1,000% markup on a bottle of vodka only works because people keep paying it.
6. Stop paying face value for shows that aren't selling well. Use same-day discount ticket services and apps.
7. Shame them publicly. Post ridiculous, scammy prices on your social media accounts, and tag us. Their marketing people are paying attention.
The bottom line: Vegas resorts charge what people are willing to pay. Stop paying it and prices will come down.

Nextdoor is just as awful as Facebook. It learns your deepest personal fear and exploits it to get you to click.
Mine is coyotes attacking our dog while I walk her at night. A couple months ago, I watched a video of a coyote with a fur baby in its mouth, walking down a street by us. Then I sent it to my wife.
Big mistake. My Nextdoor is now CoyoteNextdoor. All I get notified about is coyote sightings. Some of them are on streets I've never heard of. Now I realize why.
"Can you believe how many coyote sightings there are on Nextdoor lately?" I asked my wife.
"I haven't seen any of those," she replied, "but I can't get over how many child abductions there are."

In all likelihood, not one of these will be unearthed by the generation it was intended for...
