Reality Show Fame and a Ride "So Pimpy, It's Disgusting"new
If you’ve ever wondered what happens to a guy who travels with his family in a Christian singing group as a child, grows up to host a local Saturday night horror program as a vampire Elvis (using an Eastern European accent learned from his immigrant grandparents), and turns his lifelong love of cars and motorcycles into a successful business, then you might tune into History Channel’s Counting Cars (Tuesdays, 10 p.m.), which starts filming its second season this fall.

Las Vegas' Classic Neon Art Form is Dyingnew
Neon in Las Vegas has come to a near standstill. It's a dying art, many of its relics laid to rest in the Neon Museum's Boneyard while high-tech LED screens bombard tourists meandering the circuitry of an all-encompassing computerized blitz.

Two Iranian Refugees Seek a New Life in Las Vegasnew
Mokhtar Hossein and Jamshid Afshar are both survivors. Both men lost their fathers to the Khomeini regime that ruled Iran from 1979 to 1989. A firing squad shot Hossein’s father, an Air Force colonel. After the regime put Afshar’s father, an Army sergeant, in jail for two years, he was finally released: a psychologically battered alcoholic. Both also fought as teenagers in the Iraq-Iran war. And now they are both refugees.
