This isn’t new, but I don’t remember seeing the brochure for the Aria Fine Art Collection walking tour, so I’m passing it on here in case you’re curious about the art pieces you’ve probably walked by before.
Restaurant week is June 2–13. There are prix fixe menus all over town. There used to be some great deals here, but there have been fewer in recent years. A portion of your purchase goes to charity, so you might save money and help a restaurant donate to a good cause. I haven’t looked to see what’s available yet. Get all the info and menus here.
Caesars Palace has a new temporary poker room. Get the specs on the space here.

The new Flamingo Go Pool is finally open. The pics below are better than the animated sizzle reel and more useful than the video of butts. Read about the new five-pool complex here.
