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 […]

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 […]
Using Non-Casino Rewards in Las Vegas
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how casino rewards are changing for a younger audience. As I mentioned, I don’t like the changes, but this doesn’t affect me too much since I live in Las Vegas and spread my money around to different operators. Writing that led me down a rabbit hole where I […]

Las Vegas Casino Rewards Are Changing, and I Have Thoughts
Las Vegas Casino Rewards Are Changing, and I Have Thoughts When I wrote about how few visitors to Las Vegas stay in complimentary rooms, I mentioned how the Las Vegas tourism board was no longer tracking Gen X visitors. These are people around 46 to 61 and born between 1965 and 1980. The LVCVA’s focus […]

What is a ‘Bankroll,’ Really?
Many gamblers use the word ‘bankroll’ differently, and this confusion leads to bad game selection, misplaced risk aversion, and poor gambling decisions. When focusing too much on low minimum bet games, for example, you may be taking on a higher house edge and contradicting a goal of ‘making money last.’ Common Misunderstandings About Bankroll What […]
Wynn Las Vegas: Tableau is Back After Refresh
Tableau at Wynn Las Vegas is back after its refresh… and I’m very happy to report this is still one of my favorite breakfast rooms anywhere at Wynn. The room feels cleaner, brighter, and a little more dialed-in. There’s more usable table space now, and the waiting/queue flow looks better too, which honestly was needed. […]
Two Nights with the TravelZork Crew: Bar Mitzvah Food, Bourbon, and the Best People in Vegas
I don’t always see Mr. TravelZork when he’s in Las Vegas. Believe it or not, TravelZork’s business is more than just this website and Zorkfest. TravelZork.travel books trips for people all around the world. That’s not my cup of tea, so I won’t get into that. Las Vegas is my main area of coverage, and […]
Vegas News | Caesars And Circa Drop All-In Deals, A Car Drives Into A Casino And Details On Where To Gamble Outdoors
This may be old to you, but since we only publish Vegas News every other week, this is still hot off the presses. Caesars dropped an “all-inclusive” deal for Flamingo, Harrah’s, and The Linq. Read the press release here. I mention this often, but no “all-inclusive Las Vegas” package truly covers all expenses. I broke […]
