It was back in April of this year that we first reported on the allegations of Caesars price fixing. The company, along with Wynn and a few others, had a lawsuit filed against them over supposed collaboration via a “third-party software” as a way to manipulate and artificially inflate the rates charged for their hotel rooms. Supposedly, these accusations were being investigated by the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, over hotel rates charged in Nevada, New Jersey, and other states. Now a judge has dismissed the class-action lawsuit which made…

With the pending Mirage closure next week, Las Vegas will has lost a lot of hotel rooms in a short amount of time. According to a Nevada-based gaming analyst company, two of the largest casino operators on the Las Vegas Strip are poised for substantial economic gains following these closures. That equity research company, CBRE Group, believes their data shows that the shutdown of the Tropicana Las Vegas in April, as well as the Mirage closures on July 17th, will create a favorable market for Caesars and MGM. Losing both of these popular resorts means the removal of nearly 1,500…

You’ve probably heard by now that the Mirage is closing soon. But what may be a surprise is the Mirage giving away cash before they shut their doors on the 17th of this month. 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. That comes to $1.6 million that will be given out as winnings paid on slot machines before July 16th. What does that mean for…

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. The exact location we’re discussing is on the Venetian property. The abandoned Marco Polo Tower, to be precise. Construction of that proposed third tower began well over a decade ago, and it’s…

It was back in May of last year that we featured the Lexi Las Vegas in an article on this site. We were excited to report on a new, cannabis friendly hotel in Las Vegas, even if there was no gambling taking place there. It had the potential to offer something new to the city, in a more slow-paced, relaxed environment. You can find that feature and how they welcomed pot smokers by following the link… but there’s more. We were excited to possibly feature Lexi Las Vegas in one of our videos, even offering to show up and film…

We have exciting news for Las Vegas Boulevard, as there are major plans for an extensive Bellagio expansion project involving new restaurants and retail shops! It seems the powers that run the resort have realized that they are not taking full advantage of their location in the center of The Strip, and the prime viewing opportunities presented by their water feature. Well, that’s about to change. Known as Project Mojave in county planning documents, the Bellagio expansion will introduce a three-story plaza that extends from the hotel’s main entrance to Las Vegas Boulevard. Local architecture firm Marnell Architecture will handle…
