The all-American, Evel Knievel-themed pizzeria Evel Pie celebrated its grand opening on Friday, Dec. 16 in Downtown Las Vegas with a pizza party benefitting the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) and a grand opening celebration later in the evening.
The festivities kicked off with an “Evel” pizza party for the kids of NPHY.

eSports governing bodies have to lodge an appeal to prevent gambling in Las Vegas based events
eSports governing bodies will have to submit a request no less than 30-days before their event begins if they have any chance of stopping a Las Vegas sportsbook from offering odds at one of their events according to an eSports news writer.
It was only a matter of time before the Nevada Gambling Commission (NGC) gave the green light for Nevada sportsbooks to offer odds on eSports events. As our very own Peter Amsel points out right here. William Hill US were the first to break that particular hymen when they opened a book on the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Oakland League of Legends (LOL) at Downtown Grand & Casino.
