This will be a somewhat brief edition of Vegas News, with the short week for the long holiday weekend, I learned about at 8 a.m. on Friday. Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that you’ll need a Real ID to fly to Las Vegas soon. I finally gathered my info and need […]
Vegas News | KISS Storming Virgin, Wynn Is Turning 20, And Star Wars Burlesque Is Coming To Rio

Vegas News | The Mirage Closing Next Week, Trop Readies The Boom And Great Happy Hour At Palms

I visited The Mirage for the last time this week, before the Mirage Closing next week.

Best Video Poker in Las Vegas

It’s getting harder to find full pay video poker in Las Vegas, but until the costs outweigh the benefits, I will continue to play. I cannot provide a comprehensive list of the best video poker in Las Vegas, as I did with Atlantic City. Fortunately, I have been going to Las Vegas for many years and know about most of the low denomination (25c or below) opportunities.
Vegas News | Cosmopolitan Gives, Circa Progresses and Downtown Grand Upgrades
