The 'Happiest Mayor in the World' Has the Best Business Card in the World

We already knew that Mayor Goodman sounded like a hoot from articles like this, and even if we hadn�t, we�d have guessed it from pictures from the BA London-Vegas launch party like this.

But we have newfound respect for after he gave us his business card at the party. What happened was that we lurched up to him excitedly and slurred our goodwill at him, he flashed us the indulgent smile of a man who can�t cross a casino floor without some drunk lurching up to him excitedly, and handed us his business card.

Not just any business card, though. A poker chip. And not just any poker chip business card. A poker chip with his contact details on one side, and a cartoon of him brandishing a martini glass in the other, with "the happiest mayor of the greatest city in the world" curling round it.

One word: amazing. The sight of it rendered us speechless, making it not only a handy method of promoting the city, but also pretty nifty for shutting up drunks. Clever man.

By the way, British Airways direct flights to Vegas from Heathrow begin today.
