The Final Vegas News Is Going Out With A Bang!
An era is coming to an end. After more than 10 years and various iterations, this will be the last edition of Vegas News at TravelZork. This will be the last time you’ll see two weeks of the biggest happenings in Las Vegas in one place. This was created as a quick catch-up for busy people, […]
Vegas News | Almost Fertitta Time, What’s Up With Bally’s and Ping Pang Pong Gets Props
The big Vegas News from the past couple of weeks is probably Caesars Rewards introducing a new highest tier, Olympus. Hurdy Gurdy Justin broke it down last week. Caesars had my go-to properties when I lived on the East Coast because they took care of me in Atlantic City. I had a great host at […]
Massive Station Casinos Updates at Durango, Green Valley Ranch, and More
A few weeks ago, we looked at Boyd Gaming’s Las Vegas casino upgrades. Even though TravelZork tends to focus on the Strip, I wanted to look at the other local casino operator since the area is on my mind. Station Casinos has been leading the way with off-strip upgrades since Durango Casino opened in 2023. […]
Vegas News | Oh No Oyo, Icahn Fail, 3:2 Poolside Blackjack and Much More
This was a wild week in Las Vegas, from a free play promotion that went exactly how we all expected to a hotel catfishing customers. At least I got to have some tasty eggslut without waiting in a huge line! Since we publish Vegas News every two weeks, there’s some older info to share. This […]
Vegas News | More Bellagio Villas, A Possible Caesars Arena, What’s Up With The A’s and Bally’s, and Master Kim’s Wagyu House is Delicious!
Caesars reported earnings this week. There was no call because the company might go private. Yadda yadda. See the money info here. Caesars did make the news when landlord VICI said it was working with Caesars on possibly building an NBA arena behind Horseshoe. They’ve both been looking for ways to monetize this land for […]
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 […]
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 […]
