How to Save on Your Next Vegas Vacation

There’s been a lot of talk about the rising costs of a simple Las Vegas vacation. Over the years, Sin City has slowly lost its reputation for inexpensive travel. Gone are the days of the cheap buffets, and now there’s talk of hotel room rates going up again.

Wynn, Caesars Price Fixing Case Tossed Out

It was back in April of this year that we first reported on the allegations of Caesars price fixing.

And what’s even more surprising is that they are required to do so by state  law! How’s that for a kick in the pants? Nevada regulations state that all progressive jackpots must be paid out before they can officially shut their doors.

Will Tao Las Vegas be Completed Next to Venetian?

There’s never a shortage of rumors in Las Vegas… and this is a good one. Perhaps you’ve already heard the rumblings that Tao Las Vegas will take over the abandoned hotel tower at the Venetian. And if not, now you have. Some Sin City insiders have noticed strange happenings around the property lately, and their thought is that a new “boutique” style hotel will soon join the Strip.
