Boyd’s Big Upgrades Continue Major Off-Strip Improvements

We usually focus on the Vegas Strip area because that’s where most people stay and play. It typically makes the most sense to give you information and news about the part of Las Vegas you’re spending most of the time in. Today, we’re going off-strip for a change of pace. It’s on my mind a […]
Vegas News | What’s Up With Caesars, Bally’s, the Stadium and all Those Hidden Discounts?!

Caesars had until last weekend to accept a new deal to replace Fertitta’s offer to take the company private. There’s usually an announcement or/and a legal filing to say the deal is going forward. The date passed with no announcement by Caesars, Fertitta or anyone else. It’s definitely a little weird and there’s been chatter […]
Top-tier Casino Rewards Members Are Rare. Here’s How TravelZork Helps You Maximize It

When I’m not sharing Vegas News at TravelZork, I often reference casino rewards data, the current state of those benefits, and what the future may hold for the programs in Las Vegas and around the country. Earlier this year, I noted that 62% of visitors to Las Vegas pay the full rate for hotel rooms. […]
Vegas News | Celebrating America 250, Diving Deeper Into Bally’s Plans and Station Casinos Turns 50!

I understand why businesses don’t like to make news heading into a long holiday weekend, but I don’t like it. This was barely a thing when I was younger, and it’s seemingly grown every year as the news cycle gets shorter. If a company shares anything it wants people to be aware of 48 hours […]
Las Vegas Casinos Spend How Much On Comps?

In Vegas News a couple of weeks ago, I shared some information from the 2025 Nevada Gaming Abstract report, which provides a look inside the accounting of every casino in the state. Income, expenses, and revenue are broken down by region, similar to the monthly reports. However, there’s much more information available in this report. […]
Vegas News | Sigma Derby Moves, Bally’s Continues To Stall and Rocky Horror Sphere Show!

If you know me at all, you know I love data. It can help explain everything from sports outcomes to business practices. Sorting Las Vegas casino data is both a hobby and work-related. The Nevada Gaming Control Board recently released its annual Gaming Abstract report for every casino area in the state. While the Las […]
Looking Into What Caesars and Rewards Will Look Like After the Fertitta Deal is Complete

Tilman Fertitta’s pending acquisition of Caesars has been one of the hottest topics since it was announced in May. Don’t get your hopes up about the future of Caesars properties. Fertitta appears to be a great businessman. That’s good for him, but might not be so good for fans of the businesses he buys. According […]
Vegas News | Fireworks, Caesars and MGM Update and Las Vegas GP Til 2037

Vegas News is published every other week, so it’s more of a roundup of what’s happening than actual breaking news. This is just a heads-up for those who stumble upon this and see “old news.” There has been such big news since the last column that Mr. TravelZork and Movestro actually recorded a podcast before […]
Closing The Door On The Cromwell

The Caesars-Fertitta deal won’t change anything below. I think I’ll have some fun with it next week. Vanderpump Hotel has taken over the property formerly known as The Cromwell. It had other names before that, but I never visited those casinos and have little interest in Bill’s or Barbary Coast. I do, however, have an […]
Vegas News | Fertitta Closing In On Caesars, $25 Beer Fest at Tuscany and A Movie About Vegas In The 1980s

It’s a long holiday weekend, and there’s a treat at the end of Vegas News this week. There’s a movie about Las Vegas in the 1980s at the bottom of this article. You will only be able to view it if you read every article below. That’s definitely not sarcasm. I added a little color […]
