Smarter Vegas Guides
The Vegas guide for what works and what to avoid.
I built this because I have done it before—and Vegas needs it again.
Twenty years ago I launched JackColton.com because nightlife information was a mess. It took off, became the dominant nightlife site for well over a decade, later evolved into LasVegasNightclubs.com, and helped inspire spin-offs like NoCoverNightclubs.com. In 2014 I sold the business to a private equity firm.
In 2025 I started seeing the same warning signs: shallow lists, recycled “tips,” clickbait about Vegas “dying,” and endless complaints about price gouging. Visitors were paying more and getting less. So I did what I know how to do best—build the site I want at my fingertips when I land in the city I love.
