One of the new kids on the block (or the Strip) is Fontainebleau Las Vegas. But despite all the contract issues, changes of ownership, and even a pandemic the building which was the bane of the city for years as an abandoned eyesore is now coming into its own. Not only as one of the best resorts in town, but as one of the “World’s Greatest Places 2024”. The latest luxury resort and casino to grace Las Vegas Boulevard has reached a landmark achievement by securing a spot on the TIME Magazine list of  “World’s Greatest Places” list for this…

Bally Corporation, who purchased the Tropicana and agreed to provide land for the new Las Vegas baseball stadium, has agreed to a $4.6 billion buyout offer from their largest shareholder, Standard General. This massive move has some people asking if the change in leadership will have an impact on the deal already in place. A fair question. First, the buyout deal does include the recently closed Tropicana Las Vegas, which officially shut its doors on April 2nd. And while any future plans for a new resort remain clouded, the plans are in place to demolish the existing structures in an…

Yea, we know. Everyone wants a specific date for the planned Tropicana implosion, but the truth is we can’t give you one. However, we do have enough information to narrow down the date to a specific time frame. And maybe, if we look at things logically, we can get pretty close to a specific day.

They submitted an explosive use permit application on July 11th for “The Implosion of the Tropicana and Paradise Towers.” The proposed timeline for the “move-in” is September 30th, with a “move-out” scheduled for October 8th….

Sin City is always changing… just ask the Tropicana or the Mirage. Now, we have heard whispers of at least two new projects at the Las Vegas Sphere. If these rumors are accurate, then the venue should continue to bring in audiences for the next several months, even without the headlining live entertainment events they have already locked in. You will only read this scoop on our website, and perhaps the website we stole it from, Vital Vegas. We do hope they’re not angry with us. After all, imitation (and curation) is the sincerest form of flattery.And since they have…

Las Vegas is always changing, as we have recently seen with the closures of Tropicana and Mirage, as well as enhancements at Bellagio and Venetian. Now, a Four Queens renovation project down on Fremont Street means they won’t be left out of the fun. The resort is looking at $24 million worth of work tot their north hotel tower, which they hope to complete before the busy summer travel season next year. This project involves a complete overhaul and modernization of facilities originally established in 1966, last updated in the late 90s. Key features of the latest Four Queens renovation…

Las Vegas guests are still saying goodbye, but Hard Rock says the Mirage demolition will begin before the last tear drops fall. A farewell ceremony was held on Wednesday morning, and many resorts up and down the Strip said goodbye to the Mirage on their marquees. Surrounded by fences, the property is now gearing up for demolition, which is scheduled to commence within this coming week. The iconic volcano attraction will be dismantled to pave the way for a new centerpiece: a towering guitar that will stand nearly 700 feet tall. This ambitious construction project is expected to span approximately…
