Vegas News | New Poker Rooms, Free Concerts Downtown and More!
We skipped most of the Vegas News last week to give a heads up about reserving M Resort hotel rooms for Zorkfest before the NFL announced whether or not the Raiders would be playing a home game on the same weekend. The good news is that rates haven’t changed much, if at all, even though […]
Vegas News | 30 Seat Swim-Up Bar, NetFlix Bites, PALMS is 3:2 Blackjack Exclusively
This turned out to be a PACKED edition of Vegas News. Enjoy! MGM reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings last week.

Vegas News | Chesney Coming To Sphere, MGM Grand Confirms New Rooms, And Circus Circus On The Market
The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden switched to its Lunar New Year display. It’s beautiful as usual although it looks more like Year of the Panda than Year of the Snake.

Vegas News | New Restaurants, New Year’s Eve Fireworks, We Explored The World Of Swingers
Happy end of days! (for 2024) Las Vegas doesn’t stop and neither does the news. The Vegas Strip seems to be busier than ever for the holiday season. I tend to keep my distance while the tourists gawk and walk slower than usual around the most touristy parts of town. The burbs are also busy, […]
Vegas News | New Players Club At Tropicana And Sahara And Maybe MGM Should Keep Cosmo Marriott Deal
The autumn display at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is up. While beautiful, this is probably my least favorite every year. Tropicana has a new rewards program. This is not currently connected with Bally’s casinos around the country.
Vegas News | G2E (Global Gaming Expo) Gems, Durango & Dream Casinos Approved and Adele Finally Maybe Probably
The Vegas News for me this week started mostly with the Global Gaming Expo (G2E). As expected it was smaller than usual with fewer small and international gaming operators. There was also a lack of food and beverage providers, entertainers and other random non-gaming companies showing off their goods and services for casinos to buy.
Vegas News | Another Step Closer To Full Capacity
Every week Las Vegas is closer to being the place so many remember. Last week we saw venues already preparing for big crowds and sold-out events. This week Clark County submitted a plan to increase capacity beginning May 1. Nevada Gaming regulators will allow 80% capacity in casinos beginning Saturday. One step at a time, we notice Vegas closer to full capacity.
Vegas News | Get Vegasy At Home…And Read Some News
It was April Fool’s Day last week and thankfully nobody was making bad jokes. Unfortunately, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak made another announcement. He extended the non-essential business closures through the month of April. As of now, the big Vegas News is that the soonest Las Vegas casinos may be able to re-open will be May 1. Of course, that could change again by the time this is posted on Sunday.
Vegas News | Look For Tropicana, MGM Grand, and More Casinos To Be Sold
Happy New Year! Introducing Vegas News January and our first installment for 2020. I hope the holidays treated you well. I’m happy to get back to a normal schedule again. Mid-week holidays mess with how I like to operate. That’s never a good thing.
Vegas News | MGM, Wynn, Caesars, and so much more
MGM, Wynn, Caesars — The news from Las Vegas and casinos never seems to stop. On Friday afternoon I headed out to Cleaver for a delicious half-price steak for Happy Hour and news was still developing. It wasn’t until I returned home that I really caught up.

Vegas News | Lots Of Changes Coming To The Cromwell and more
Vegas News | Lots Of Changes Coming To The Cromwell and more…. The CROMWELL Hotel Las Vegas is one of my favorite casinos to gamble on the Vegas Strip.

Vegas | Good News, Bad News And More News
It was a good news/bad news week for the many people who prefer Caesars and Total Rewards casinos in Las Vegas.

That information wasn’t “interesting” but it you should hear it anyway. Let’s start with the good news.
Sunday News | Adele, 000 Roulette, NASCAR Warning And More
As I mentioned last week in Sunday News, we’re in a slow news period in Las Vegas. I expect things to heat up in a week or so but there isn’t anything too serious happening. This might be a little shorter than you’re used to. In The Casino Slot machines When the news in Las […]

Whew! It feels as though it’s been a crazy few weeks in Las Vegas. Thankfully the openings and announcements slowed down a little this week. In fact, there weren’t any major happenings this week.
