Gold standard File this under “genius marketing ideas” for Vegas: The Golden Nugget now has an ATM that dispenses gold coins and 24-karat bars instead of cash. For those who want the ultimate Sin City souvenir, look no further. — Ken Miller, associate editor

Wakey wakey After my iPhone 4’s faulty alarm almost made me miss not one but two trips to the airport last weekend, I resorted to using a technologically ancient flip phone. Or as I call it, Old Faithful. — Sarah Feldberg, editor

Cold? What cold? Nothing like the floating fire pit at Peppermill Fireside Lounge to warm the old bones during the winter. Why, yes, I would like a martini. — Kristen Peterson, staff writer
