Planning Las Vegas travel? Well, soon folks in California will have the option of taking the Las Vegas bullet train! Plans are to construct the 200 mph Las Vegas bullet train by 2026, which will make the trip in about two hours!
Happy May Day to everyone! And Happy Cinco de Mayo is this week! It looks like a Las Vegas bullet train is coming soon! And that is this week’s big story! State congressman from Nevada and California have asked the Federal Government for help with funding on their high-speed rail project between LA and Vegas, which will travel at speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour and get visitors to Sin City in just two hours!
When completed, the Las Vegas bullet train could take millions of cars off the freeway and keep four hundred thousand tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere! Brightline West is the company that will be installing the tracks right down the Interstate 15 corridor, and if all goes according to schedule riders could be shooting the rails as soon as 2026.
Also, after announcing just five shows to open the new Las Vegas Sphere this October, response has been so overwhelming that rock and roll super group U2 has decided to extend their stay in Sin City all the way to November, with 12 additional show dates! Tickets start at just a $140 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.
Of course, once you get to Las Vegas you’re going to want to know where all the hot machines are paying out. And we’ve got you covered with some jackpots to report this week, starting at Caesar’s Palace where a Dragon Link player won over $120,000 recently. Then at Palace Station there was a big win of over $11,000 on Dragon Cash! Meanwhile at South Point, a Wheel of Fortune player landed a win of nearly three quarters of a million dollars!
And if all of that wasn’t enough, we head back to Caesars where three different players hit three different jackpots… all on video poker... all on the same day… and all within a few hours of one another… paying out more than half a million bucks!
And finally this week, just in time for the Cinco de Mayo holiday we’ve released a brand new video review for the amazing Mucho Grande Jackpots slot machine! It’s a five reel, eight row game with 50 pay lines from our friends at Eclipse! It has plenty of festive fun with multi-level jackpots, free spins, multipliers, and the exciting Pinata Hold & Spin Bonus! You can find this review, along with hundreds more, when you visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel!
