Vegas News | Venetian Sold, Resorts World Takes Shape, And Vegas Loves Sports
Let’s start the weekly Vegas News roundup with a short story about a big deal. This week Las Vegas Sands (LVS) sold all of its properties (aka “Venetian Sold”) in Sin City. The company is now just “Sands” since it has no more businesses in Las Vegas. The deal happened early in the week so I’m not going to get too deep.
Vegas News | Hamilton May Do Vegas And More Casinos and Entertainment Returning To Operation
Before we share a huge amount of Vegas Quick Hits and the rumor about Hamilton in Vegas….. We’re going to start Vegas News off a bit differently this week. I received a rare Saturday morning marketing email from a gaming company that I have to share.

Vegas News | Open Now, Closed Tomorrow? New Caesars Coming Soon.
Phase 2 of Nevada’s roadmap to recovery has been extended until the end of July. The State, like much of the country, appears to be going in the wrong direction regarding COVID-19 cases. As a reminder, the Nevada Independent has the raw data if you want to see up to date information. There is also a big question? “Vegas Open Now, Closed Tomorrow?”
Vegas News | Reopening Las Vegas One Phase At A Time
Before we get to talking about the reopening of Las Vegas…… On Saturday I woke up crankier than usual since it was 3:30 am. After listening to a couple of podcasts I grabbed a cup of chamomile tea and plopped down on the couch to see what was on TV. It was with great surprise that reruns of the old NBC show “Las Vegas” were airing on E!
Vegas News | MGM, Boyd, Station All Planning For Reopening
For a few weeks, it looked as though there wouldn’t be much Vegas news to share. Well, that concern is over.
