Vegas Strip Adjacent Prices On The Strip
As a New Yorker, I’ve always looked at the Vegas Strip as Times Square, while the rest of Las Vegas is the boroughs surrounding the tourist trap.

Welcome to the first Vegas News of 2025! Growing up in New York City I was led to believe that Times Square is the best and only place to party on New Year’s Eve. I did it once and learned that it’s just not for me. I visited the Vegas Strip once for New Year’s […]

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 | Riviera Site Plans, Tropicana Implosion Party And A Boring Update
Holidays are good for the soul but they’re bad for news announcements.

Vegas News | Covid Update And KISS, Journey, and Chippendales Are Returning To Las Vegas
We can’t talk about Las Vegas without starting with a COVID-19 update. (Ya know, before we get to the big news like Chippendales are returning to Vegas!)

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.

The Great Vegas Reopening (TM) is in full swing. Capacity limits and plexiglass are gone at Wynn and Cosmopolitan. Most are quite relieved and happy with the news that plexiglass in Vegas comes down!

Vegas News | Vegas Visitation Jumping and Virgin Opening
It is pretty fair to say that Vegas Visitation is jumping. It’s been a while since there’s been a supply and demand problem for visitors in Las Vegas, but here we are.

That should increase even more when March figures are released.

We made it through another Vegas summer! High temperatures appear to be in the double digits for the rest of the year.

Fortune” would be ingrained in my head before even getting to the baggage carousel.
