What Would Make You Walk Away From a Rewards Program?
I went to Starbucks for the first time in months over the weekend. It’s not my favorite coffee, but I used to go regularly because it’s down the street, in most casinos, and there were plenty of offers while rewards were easy to earn. When the company changed its rewards program earlier this year, it […]
Boyd’s Big Upgrades Continue Major Off-Strip Improvements
We usually focus on the Vegas Strip area because that’s where most people stay and play. It typically makes the most sense to give you information and news about the part of Las Vegas you’re spending most of the time in. Today, we’re going off-strip for a change of pace. It’s on my mind a […]

Ellis Island And Rampart Casino Update Rewards Programs, Let’s Take A Look

Evolving With Las Vegas
This week, I was sitting in a panel at Duck Duck Shed, reflecting on Las Vegas—its past and where it’s headed—and I couldn’t help but think about how I’ve personally evolved here. It’s kind of come full circle since I first started visiting just after I turned 21. When I began visiting Las Vegas, I […]
Vegas News | Take Cover! – Vegas Earthquake
My week of vacation on the Vegas Strip was a great time and personally enlightening. I’ll just touch on a couple of newsy items today and will dive deeper with some kind of trip report. Coincidentally, there wasn’t much news while I was taking a break. (Well, except for a Vegas Earthquake!) This will be […]
Vegas News | Parking, Slot Machines and Horses Oh My!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! We haven’t missed a Sunday news post since starting. I’ve taken time out from vacation to write news while sitting at a bar drinking coffee. The streak will continue albeit a bit more brief than usual. Unfortunately, it appears as though the sick bug has caught me. Let’s get to it because this past week in Las Vegas was sort of all over the place.
Exploring Las Vegas | Summerlin
Summerlin is a planned community about 20 minutes west of the Vegas Strip. The entire area is beautiful and a well thought out combination of suburbia and what I expected from Las Vegas.
