Vegas News | Rio Plans Develop, Fontainebleau Will Have Poolside Gaming And A Naked Man At Harrah’s

We’re changing Vegas News a little. Instead of posting weekly, we’re going to share the Vegas News every other week. This will make the news rundowns more concise with less fluff and easier to navigate. This will also give us a chance to dive deeper into specific newsy topics.
Vegas News | New Casino Games, The Venetian Is Changing And Bally’s Opens An Arcade

The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) blew through Las Vegas this week. As always, it was a fun time seeing new games, meeting new people, and connecting with others I don’t see very often.
Vegas NEWs | New MGM Grand Rooms, New Buffalo Slot And New Construction Update

This week we will get to a new construction update as well as some current renovations. We mentioned that MGM Resorts planned on renovating a portion of the rooms at MGM Grand after the company’s recent earnings call. Some of the rooms in the newly named Studio Tower (former West Wing) will be available in late October. The rest should be completed before the end of the year.
Vegas News | Mask Up Vegas and Get Down!

As expected a couple of weeks ago, you once again have to wear a mask (“Mask Up Vegas”) when indoors in Las Vegas. This mandate is for everyone – vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

Vegas News | Jimbo Out, Bet MGM Soon and another Look at Vegas Rumors

We’re going to jump right into the Vegas News this week because I found a new document just as I was sitting down.
Vegas News | New Booze Fees, Football Season, and Drama
