Vegas News | Almost Fertitta Time, What’s Up With Bally’s and Ping Pang Pong Gets Props
The big Vegas News from the past couple of weeks is probably Caesars Rewards introducing a new highest tier, Olympus. Hurdy Gurdy Justin broke it down last week. Caesars had my go-to properties when I lived on the East Coast because they took care of me in Atlantic City. I had a great host at […]
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 | Celebrating America 250, Diving Deeper Into Bally’s Plans and Station Casinos Turns 50!
I understand why businesses don’t like to make news heading into a long holiday weekend, but I don’t like it. This was barely a thing when I was younger, and it’s seemingly grown every year as the news cycle gets shorter. If a company shares anything it wants people to be aware of 48 hours […]
Vegas News | Fertitta Closing In On Caesars, $25 Beer Fest at Tuscany and A Movie About Vegas In The 1980s
It’s a long holiday weekend, and there’s a treat at the end of Vegas News this week. There’s a movie about Las Vegas in the 1980s at the bottom of this article. You will only be able to view it if you read every article below. That’s definitely not sarcasm. I added a little color […]

Vegas News | Poolside gambling is open, Caesars is taking over the Westgate sportsbook and Sphere is using facial recognition
Caesars is planning on taking over the sportsbook operations of the Westgate SuperBook before football season. I’m sure I have a lot of thoughts about this, but it’s too soon. Read more here. The awful MGM buffet is finally closing on May 31. No word on what’s replacing it yet. Read more here. I would […]
Vegas News | Caesars And Circa Drop All-In Deals, A Car Drives Into A Casino And Details On Where To Gamble Outdoors
This may be old to you, but since we only publish Vegas News every other week, this is still hot off the presses. Caesars dropped an “all-inclusive” deal for Flamingo, Harrah’s, and The Linq. Read the press release here. I mention this often, but no “all-inclusive Las Vegas” package truly covers all expenses. I broke […]
Vegas News | New MGM Rewards, New Restaurants, And A Boring Airport Update
12/12 While casino operators took time to celebrate the holidays, so did Vegas News. While there wasn’t much news, things definitely slipped past me, as well as many popular news outlets. Since it’s a light news week, I’ll share some quick hits from my recent visits to the Strip at the end. Well, it’s a […]
Vegas News | Bally’s Has A Plan, Free Music Festival and More Cheap Gambling!
Before diving into the various Vegas News items over the past couple of weeks, I’m curious if anyone in the TravelZork fam took advantage of the big 5-Day Sale by the LVCVA. The deals weren’t great to me, and I’m curious if anything stood out to anyone. On a related note, the casino earnings season […]
