BLVD Las Vegas Ready for March Opening
Who’s ready for BLVD Las Vegas? Well, first we better explain just what BLVD is. First, it’s not a shopping center. Rather, it’s a three-story center located on The Strip. Ut’s a mixed bowl of restaurants, lifestyle, special events, and yes… retail. But these are specialty shops you won’t find in every mall.

Somehow, sports books in Sin City were still able to rake in more than a $22 million win, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. One reason for the sharp decline was due to a lack of large bets. There were five bets of $1 million on the game last year in Vegas….
