Welcome to a very special birthday edition of Vegas News! This one will be a doozy since it covers most of June and previews a little bit of July.
I like to change the format of Vegas News every now and again. This week will be all Quick Hits-style with a bunch of embedded tweets with pictures for visual interest. Also, pay close attention to the Fontainebleau Room Preview, which is making this new casino resort seem “more real.”
We’re big fans of the free stuff around here. Free air? Free hotel? Free money? All of the above? Absolutely. But because of a new promotion, we’re going back to one of our old favorites; the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card (For business owners, the Chase Ink Unlimited is still a great choice.).
Let’s kick off this week’s edition of Vegas News with some information about the average visitor to Las Vegas in 2022 (Vegas Visitor Data). The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s (LVCVA) annual Visitor Profile is a small sample snapshot of visitors to Las Vegas.
MGM was in the news for a few reasons last week. You already know about the MGM Rewards tier accelerator we slid into Vegas News before posting last week. This week? MGM New F1 Package.
Caesars didn’t have much information beyond finances during its earnings call. Here’s a quick overview of what the company discussed about Las Vegas. Oh, and a last-minute addition about a new promotion MGM Rewards Daily Tier Status Accelerator, which somewhat mimics the current Caesars Rewards Loyalty Program Daily Tier Promotion.
This was a fun news week in Las Vegas. Between the Las Vegas Grand Prix and casino earnings, there was a lot happening. Add that to the mix of a normal week of Vegas News and you have a busy week.
The autumn display at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is up. While beautiful, this is probably my least favorite every year. Tropicana has a new rewards program. This is not currently connected with Bally’s casinos around the country.
Rain in Las Vegas is weird. It barely rains most of the year except in July and early August. When it rains, it’s a lot.
A handful of executives at The Cosmopolitan quit last week. I am certain we will see many examples of Cosmopolitan slowly changing over the next few months. + all the Vegas News and quick hits!
