Vegas News | Non-Smoking Casino Park MGM Opening, Caesars Packed + COVID Update

Two weeks without Vegas news on Sunday is wild! This was the first year I’ve taken a break from my weekend duty with TravelZork.

(Unbelievably, we still have a number of weekly items to share, including details today about the casino players club updates.)
