Re:

Dear
Matt:
I
have
attached a revised preliminary 14A filing containing the changes we have
discussed. Specifically, I have taken out the reference to “Blank Check” Common
throughout and have moved the paragraph as discussed. A redlined version of
these changes is being faxed to you, as well, for your convenience. This letter
and the amended Pre-14A will be filed tomorrow under a correspondence
designation.
In
addition, this will confirm that the Company will comply with all the currently
outstanding comments of the Division of Corporate Finance of the Securities
Exchange Commission as to its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
and 10-QSB for quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.
The
Company would like to file its definitive 14A filing as soon as possible so
it
can hold its annual meeting. Please call me at your earliest convenience to
discuss.
Thanks,

MATTERS
TO BE CONSIDERED
This
Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies
by
the Board of Directors of Las Vegas Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the
annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or any adjournments thereof.
The meeting will be held at 4000 West Ali Baba Lane, Suite D, Las Vegas,
Nevada,
on October 7, 2005, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, to elect three directors
to serve until the next annual meeting or until their successors are elected
and
qualified, to approve an amendment to the company’s Articles of Incorporation to
authorize our board of directors to create and issue different classes of
common
stock, and to transact any other business that may properly come before the
meeting or any adjournment of the meeting.
Management
knows of no other business that may properly come before the meeting. The
above
matters require for their approval the affirmative vote of a majority of
the
shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
This
proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to
shareholders on or about September 26, 2004.
RECORD
DATE; SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The
board
of directors of Las Vegas Gaming has fixed the close of business on September
1,
2005 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
notice
of and to vote at the annual meeting. At the record date, there were
approximately 8,235,020 shares of common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled
to vote at the meeting. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote
at the
meeting for each share of common stock held of record on the record date.
There
are no separate voting groups or separate series of stock with voting rights.
In
addition to the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors through
use of
the mails, proxies may also be solicited by Las Vegas Gaming and its directors,
officers and employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefore)
by telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic
4
communication,
and/or by personal interview. Las Vegas Gaming will reimburse banks, brokerage
houses, custodians and other fiduciaries who hold shares of common stock
in
their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials
to
those persons for whom they hold such shares. Las Vegas Gaming will bear
the
costs of the annual meeting and of soliciting proxies therefore, including
the
cost of printing and mailing this proxy statement and related materials.
Las
Vegas Gaming has spent approximately $2,000 in legal and other expenses in
the
preparation of this proxy statement and other expenses connected with the
solicitation of security holders. It is anticipated that Las Vegas Gaming
will
spend an additional $1,000 in solicitation of security holders before the
meeting is held.
Any
questions or requests for assistance regarding Las Vegas Gaming’s proxies and
related materials may be directed in writing to Russell Roth, at 4000 West
Ali
Baba Suite D, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118.
VOTE
REQUIRED AND VOTING
In
order
to obtain shareholder approval, thirty-three and one thirds percent (33 1/3%)
of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of
the
record date, represented in person or by proxy, is required for a quorum
at the
annual meeting. Abstentions may be specified and will be counted as present
for
the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum. Election of directors
shall be accomplished by the three candidates receiving a plurality of the
votes
cast at a shareholder's meeting by the shareholders entitled to vote in the
election. The amendment to the articles will require approval of a majority
of
the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to
vote
on the matter.
Holders
of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders
of a
majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors
can
elect all of the directors. A vote by the holders of a majority of our
outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate
changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of
incorporation.
You
may
vote by either attending the meeting in person or by filling out and sending
in
your proxy. Shares of common stock that are represented by properly executed
proxies, unless such proxies shall have previously been properly revoked
(as
provided herein), will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated
in
such proxies. If no contrary instructions are indicated, such shares will
be
voted FOR the named nominees for the board of directors identified herein.
Shares represented by proxies that have voted against the propositions presented
at the meeting cannot be used to postpone or adjourn the meeting in order
to
solicit more votes for the proposition.
Brokers
who hold shares in a street name have the authority to vote when they have
not
received instructions from the beneficial owners. Brokers who do not receive
instructions, but who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting will
be
counted as present for quorum purposes.
OTHER
MATTERS
It
is not
expected that any matters other than those referred to in this proxy statement
will be brought before the meeting. If other matters are properly presented,
however, the persons named as proxy appointees will vote in accordance with
their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer
discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to vote
in
accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of
the
meeti
