The name refers to Las Vegas' Block 16, the original section of town that housed casinos, brothels and bars. Yet the Block 16 Lounge is more than a location. It's a mindset. It's where Your Host goes when he smokes his pipe, turns on the hi-fi, catches a re-run of Hawaii Five-O or sips a sazerac. So log on for a trip back when men were men and, well, you get the picture.

The literate lyricist

When love congeals
it soon reveals
the faint aroma of
performing seals


-- sung by Frank Sinatra, "I Wish I Were In Love Again" from A Swinging Affair, 1957
