For a 10th time Gov. Phil Murphy has extended New Jersey’s public-health emergency, this time through late January. The order expires after 30 days if it is not extended. The announcement came as New Jersey’s second-wave surge has shown some signs of leveling off.

It’s a new year, and there’s a lot to look forward to in Las Vegas. There will be a lot of moving and shaking behind the scenes in 2021. On the front lines, the general population will continue to deal with the daily effects of coronavirus. Businesses, however, will be looking to the future. This brings us to our Las Vegas Predictions for 2021.

Another week of casino openings and closings in Las Vegas. Let’s start the week with an opening before we get to the “Mirage Closing” news.

We’re entering what’s typically a slow news period while everyone gets into holiday and vacation mode. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening, but there’s less than usual (and “The Pause”). Funk that! We got the goods right here!

The rumors have been circulating. With a sigh of relief, people have been informed and have been discussing how their Caesars Rewards Loyalty Program will be extending tier status.

This week is mostly “quick hits” format, with some really awesome news about Plaza Redeveloping. We weren’t surprised when Virgin Hotels Las Vegas pushed its opening date back to January.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed an executive order last month extending the public health emergency, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The order originally was declared on March 9.

The big news stories in Las Vegas happened early and late in the week. We’ll start with a quick update from early in the week and move to the news that happened about 14 hours before I sat down to put this together. Plus, do not forget about Vegas Black Friday deals and offers!

I do not get particularly excited about any travel or Vegas deals unless they have a huge amount of value proposition. With that being said, many deals for travel during Covid-Times seem to have more flexibility, which is a good thing. Black Friday Vegas Deals and Casino Deals are enjoyable to follow, and I have tried to list a couple with above-average value.

It’s been a strange week in Las Vegas. Coronavirus numbers are going the wrong way throughout Nevada. You can see the data here—also, Vegas openings, closings, and lots of news for this week.
