Vegas News | COVID, Rumors, Bootlegger Bistro, And Backstreet Boys
“It’s deja vu all over again,” said one of my favorite baseball players. I never actually saw Yogi Berra play a game but some of his ridiculous and amazing Yogi-isms will always stay with me.

Don’t worry; after we “go back in time,” we will explore the fabulous Bootlegger Bistro.

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.

This is the week, so many of us have been waiting for. Las Vegas casinos are allowed to reopen.

More than a few people I know are noticing the increased number of promotions for Caesars that we mentioned last week.

What MGM Resorts 3rd Quarter Earnings Means To You
Earnings calls are boring AF. Earnings calls for casino operators aren’t entirely boring, they’re just boring. No AF. I just need to vent before diving into the MGM Resorts 3rd Quarter Earnings call this week.
These calls are intended provide information for financial investors in corporations and not for the public. I’m closer to the latter. I’m not an investor and I write for normal people that may not understand or care about the financial jargon. For the most part, I listen to these calls to see if there’s any news that mainstream news outlets don’t report or care about.
