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 | 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 | Vanderpump Debuts New Rooms, Deal at Luxor and Excalibur and Early April Fool’s At Resorts World?
In Vegas News a couple of weeks ago, I shared that MGM Resorts had plans for some kind of “value” promotion. Well, here it is. MGM dropped a $330 all-in deal for Luxor and Excalibur. The key to this price is that it “starts at” $330. Prices could be higher. Regardless of your opinion about […]
Vegas News | Fertitta Negotiating To Buy Caesars, Nobody Stays In Comp Rooms, and Did Circus Circus Really Install Kitty Claw Machines?
Let’s kick this off with what could be huge Vegas News. Tilman Fertitta is the last man standing to buy Caesars. A deal isn’t done, and it will take time to close, given regulatory approvals across all jurisdictions where the company operates casinos. Get the scoop here.

Vegas News | Mirage Auctions Art, Golden Gate Dumps Human Dealers, And New Vegas!
The biggest Vegas News over the past couple of weeks has to be Hard Rock putting more than 300 art pieces from the Mirage on the auction block. The online part is underway with the live auction on September 20 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. You can see the full list of Mirage auction items here. […]
Vegas News | New Poker Rooms, Free Concerts Downtown and More!
We skipped most of the Vegas News last week to give a heads up about reserving M Resort hotel rooms for Zorkfest before the NFL announced whether or not the Raiders would be playing a home game on the same weekend. The good news is that rates haven’t changed much, if at all, even though […]
Vegas News | 30 Seat Swim-Up Bar, NetFlix Bites, PALMS is 3:2 Blackjack Exclusively
This turned out to be a PACKED edition of Vegas News. Enjoy! MGM reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings last week. Evidently, the numbers were good because the stock jumped after hours and during the next day. You can get the details here. Based on the call it sounds like room rates will increase modestly […]
Vegas News | Swingers Opening, Resorts World Complaints, And Poolside Craps At Fontainebleau
The BetMGM App now allows players to use the same app and funds anywhere the app is legal in the US. Until this week, this was available everywhere except Nevada. This is a great feature but all players must sign up for new accounts in person at an MGM sportsbook due to Nevada gaming regulations. […]
Vegas News | Las Vegas Is All About Raiders, Pirates and Fluorescent Baby Polar Bears
Wowsers, for the first time in about a while there’s hardly any COVID-19 news in Las Vegas. There have been no changes in policies so everything remains the same as the past few weeks. Having said that, this will be a relatively shorter Vegas News.
