The best thing about Insurgo Theater’s “Cartoon” (the play) is that it feels like “Cartoon” (the cartoon). I don’t much like Steve Yockey’s 2006 heavy-handed comedy, but what’s not to like when you have a stage full of actors that seem torn from the pages of Saturday morning animation?

Can you hear that? It’s all the bells and whistles celebrities saturated their dresses with Sunday night. Yes, it hurt our ears — and eyes — too. We have no idea what kind of negotiating went down between stylists and their A-list clients before the 81st Annual Academy Awards but we have a feeling it involved blinders and a few tequila shots.
It’s a good thing this season’s MAGIC vendors prepared for recession-minded buyers. From the upgraded parking spots to the central hall that was void of both a runway and upbeat, trendy music — the apparel tradeshow held at the Las Vegas Convention Center just wasn’t the same this time around.
Start peeling off those layers. Spring is lurking right around the corner and will catch you by surprise if you don’t plan for it. Here’s a look at the top trends for the upcoming season.
If Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie followed the lead of university Chancellor Jim Rogers (see above), the longtime lawman would demand fiscal immunity from the recession and declare that if the Las Vegas police budget were not allowed to expand, the valley would resemble the set of “Escape from New York” by summer.

The Home News, a group of weekly newspapers, on Tuesday announced it was dropping two of its editions.
The sister of Crown Ltd. Chairman James Packer and three investors have asked gaming regulators to withdraw their names from an application seeking a license to operate casinos in Pennsylvania.
Las Vegas would have to fly in every resident of St. Paul, Minn. — not Cranfills Gap, Texas — to replace the airline traffic it lost in January.
AAA Nevada said Wednesday it will close six Southern Nevada locations and two in Northern Nevada, eliminating 50 positions.
Lost or down-and-out Las Vegas visitors will have one less source of help at McCarran International Airport.
A program designed to save the state money could cost Nevadans who aren’t careful about where they cash in their unemployment benefits.
Home prices will decline another 5 percent to 10 percent in Las Vegas this year, but sales volume will turn around in 2010 and structural demand for 23,500 new homes will be reached by 2011, a real estate analyst said Wednesday.
