Vegas News | Starting To See The Light

I see the light! The end of the coronavirus may not be here yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel in Las Vegas. (Also, Vegas is busy!) My monthly visit to Cosmopolitan was fun as usual. Unfortunately, I’ll be surprised if the offers keep rolling in despite my gambling losses and spend on dining and booze.

[UPDATED] Vegas is open again, but is it worth the visit?

Nobody ever thought we would be saying the phrase “Vegas Is Open.” If you are not a true lover of all things Vegas, you might not understand what it means to return to Las Vegas. That feeling you get when see the strip landing at LAS. That feeling you get. You have arrived. You have not just arrived anywhere, you have arrived in Las Vegas.

That should increase even more when March figures are released.

The company is now just “Sands” since it has no more businesses in Las Vegas. The deal happened early in the week so I’m not going to get too deep.
