Vegas News | Adios Cromwell and Blue Ribbon, Hello Vanderpump and Metallica!
We’re back on track for Vegas News in 2026! Casinos will begin reporting fourth-quarter and full-year earnings in a couple of weeks. As usual, Boyd will be the first to report on Feb. 5.

Vegas News | Taxi Price Increase, July 4 Fireworks And The Golden Knights Win The Stanley Cup!
Welcome to a very special birthday edition of Vegas News! This one will be a doozy since it covers most of June and previews a little bit of July.
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 | Sneak Peek At Palms Rewards Program And Inflation Can’t Stop People From Visiting Las Vegas
Nothing new to see here but this is a promo video for the opening of Palms on April 27. I found this while looking for information on the players club (Palms Rewards Program – CLUB SERRANO). Before we get to that, I need to remind myself about the property. Hopefully, it will help keep all of our expectations in check.
Vegas News | CES Happens Amid Covid-19 Spike, MGM Rewards Details And Maybe A Luxor Implosion?

Happy New Year! We hope you, your family, and your friends are all in good health. It looks like we’re going to start off the new year with the same annoying news as last year. (You’ll have to wait a bit until we get to some cool details about the Katy Perry Residency.)
Vegas News | Double Wide Holiday Edition Featuring Hard Rock Imploding The Mirage and Palms Opening Soon

Vegas News | The Pause Continues!
We’re entering what’s typically a slow news period while everyone gets into holiday and vacation mode. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening, but there’s less than usual (and “The Pause”). Funk that! We got the goods right here!
Vegas News | Casino Players Club Updates and Casino News
The local Las Vegas news is usually a waste of time for me. They typically have 3-5 minutes of local news before going to national news, weather and human interest stories. I don’t watch the local news often because 95% isn’t interesting to me. Don’t get me wrong – I love that I live in a sleepy town like Las Vegas. (Unbelievably, we still have a number of weekly items to share, including details today about the casino players club updates.)
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.
