Quit with the puns, or the ban stick comes out.

This is NOT Tom's Diary.

What's wrong? Canoe not think of a suitable pun?

Stayed at Vdara two years ago. Its awesome and chilled. No casino in it at all just spas and cafes and a great feel. That sculpture did catch my eye. Bet Thewy likes it... Might even be one of his old canoes in that lot

Correct.

A hotel in Vegas where there are no table games, poker or slots.

If nothing else, different.

Roughly how much per night for a room, do you recall?

...And nicer than the Trump hotel, which also has no casino.

There's an app for that

It seems those words are trademarked, by Apple, & have been since 2010.

"Apps" have been around for just 5 years. In that time, 50 billion have been downloaded, & there are 900,000 of them available in the Apple App Store, whatever that is.

Whole businesses now rely totally on Apps.

To an Online Gaming Business, for example, (think any of the UK Online bookmakers) getting an App approved by Apple, & in their "store" is crucial, & without it, the business dies. Literally.

The whole meaning of the word - application  or app - has changed, too. All in 5 short years.

I still don't even know what an App is, how they work, what they do, or why I need one. I have two (Sky Go, & Wm Hill Bookmkers) but I have no idea why.

You can even use an App (I gather) to find the name of a tune you can't remember.  

Jeez, the internet changes the world so fast.

Think I'll manage without, tyvm.

Tired? there's a nap for that.

The whole aria/vdara complex was but on the old boardwalk casino complex that had been closed and empty for a number of years. 

Must be some old photos of it about somewhere.

That flight path program you use on the mobile Skyscanner?  That's an App.

Tweetdeck, App.

Hootsuite, App.

I'm sure you use half a dozen and don't even know it.


What I do hate is when large companies try and trademark common English or phrases that have been in use for many years or completely generic.

I contracted Vdara last year and ended up with an inflamed Aria

Yes, but when you go to, say......

You do not HAVE to download their App, you can still use it "conventionally".

So why the need for an App?
