One of the two huge names could disappear from the Las Vegas skyline sooner than you might expect. Nothing lasts forever in Las Vegas.

That's why Hawaiian Marketplace, an…

LAS VEGAS (CN) - A University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor who specializes in the hospitality industry called a recent federal class action claiming collusion between major casinos regarding the price guests pay for hotel rooms on the Las Vegas Strip "frivolous." "Based upon what I know about the Rainmaker revenue management system, because I'm a…

Not every idea planned or even announced for the Las Vegas Strip ends up getting built. Some never even get past the talking stage because it takes billions to actually build something on Sin City's iconic 4.2-mile stretch of road. The high price tag means that some projects get announced as a way to make it easier to raise money to actually build…

Covid, M-Pox, RSV, and other illnesses could not keep the Las Vegas Strip Resort Casinos down, but a new development might be a major problem. While the covid pandemic closed the Las Vegas Strip, that closure almost seemed to create an opportunity for major resort casino operators to make changes. MGM Resorts International (MGM) - Get Free…

The Las Vegas Expressway intersects with Las Vegas just a few blocks north of Fremont Street, providing millions of visitors easy access to the downtown core each year.

As it leaves Covid-19 behind, Las Vegas had a spectacular year for gaming and tourism in 2022, leading Nevada to smash its 2021 gambling revenue record in just 11 months. Much of this success is attributed to the return of tourism, the lifting of pandemic-related measures and the opening - and reopening - of gaming properties across the…

Circus Circus has expanded on its status as the only Strip casino still offering coin-operated slot machines by installing $5 coin machines to go alongside its $1 machines.

In a city long known for bigger-than-life figures such as mobster Bugsy Siegel, reclusive tycoon Howard Hughes and casino mogul Steve Wynn, Tilman Fertitta is the newest big player on the Las Vegas Strip. The billionaire Texas businessman and owner of Fertitta Entertainment, which owns more than 600 restaurants, hotels, casinos and other…

The Las Vegas Strip kicked off the year by hosting CES, the big tech conference long-known as the Consumer Electronics Show, which was expected to be somewhat close to normal after being virtual the year before. But it ended up as a shell of itself due to the Omicron variant of covid. Instead of Sin City's grand return, the event saw mostly empty…

Christmas time in Las Vegas is a unique and exciting experience. The city, known for its vibrant nightlife and endless entertainment options, transforms into a winter wonderland with festive decorations and special events. During the holiday season, the Las Vegas Strip is adorned with dazzling lights and decorations. The iconic Las Vegas sign is…

The noise is unmistakable, though it's heard at fewer and fewer casinos these days. Clank-clank-clank-clank-clank. That's the sound of money - metal coins hitting a metal tray - signifying slot or video poker winnings at one of the dwindling number of coin-operated machines still in use in the Las Vegas area. For some, the sound brings nostalgia…

In my travels to just about every corner of the world and all but two U.S. states, I still haven't made it to Las Vegas. But, to get a taste of the gaming and entertainment scene that lures people to Nevada's urban hotspots, I recently spent a few days investigating what to do in smaller Reno, a city of 264000, and nearby Lake Tahoe. For years I…

Reno hasn't seen an all-new resort-casino built since 1995 when the former Eldorado Resorts and the former Circus Circus Enterprises got together to open Silver Legacy. San Diego-based Elevation Entertainment wants to end a three-decade drought for casino development. The company submitted plans to the City of Reno for a 200-room hotel-casino to be…

Resorts World Las Vegas wants to crash the party and change the focus of the Las Vegas Strip. At the moment, the gleaming, massive new resort sort of sits as an island on the North Strip. It's not far from Circus Circus and the new Fontainebleau, which will open in 2023, sits close by as well, but right now, Resorts World exists as an oasis on an…

On the Las Vegas Strip, nothing big happens quickly. Building a new resort-casino can take years and a lot can go wrong. Fontainebleau Las Vegas might be the most extreme example: That project, which looks on track to open in 2023, has taken nearly 20 years to complete. The resort-casino has gone through multiple owners and has looked dead a number…

Why do you like it here?" he asks me. He is any number of people: a stranger on a barstool, a friend's boyfriend, an acquaintance I've been asked to show around. He is visiting Las Vegas, and he is asking the question visitors ask locals. He is asking for a thesis, and maybe, depending on how the night goes, a fight. "I could never live in Vegas,"…

The Las Vegas covid comeback continues. Sin City has reported record visitor numbers and casino cash takes over the past few months. That's a huge comeback for a city that saw its casinos, hotels, and entertainment venues shutter during the worst days of the pandemic. Even after the reopening, crowds did not fully come back. Conventions were…

For a long time the Las Vegas Strip referred mostly to the Caesars Entertainment (CZR) - Get Free Report and MGM Resorts (MGM) - Get Free Report properties on the South and Central Strip. Those two companies dominated by offering properties that appeal to every level of consumer. Caesars has value properties in Bally's and Flamingo, up to mid-tier…

The times are changing in Las Vegas. Construction cranes seem to be a permanent part of the Las Vegas skyline at this point as casinos are built or upgraded along the Strip as well as in the emerging downtown Fremont St. area.. It's almost like a domino effect as each casino spends millions of dollars to upgrade their look, the next casino must…

Few people put Las Vegas on their list for family vacations. Sin City does have a lot of signs telling people to not abandon their kids, but it has few activities or events actually aimed at anyone under 21. Yes, you might see Mickey and Minnie Mouse or even Paw Patrol characters posing for pictures on the Las Vegas Strip, but those characters are…

The North section of the Las Vegas Strip used to be a semi-abandoned wasteland featuring lesser casino properties, motels, sketchy gift shops.

In the past two years, there has been a flurry of hotel investment activity in the Las Vegas market, with nearly 10 transactions achieving sale prices exceeding $1 billion.

Every inch of land on the Las Vegas Strip has become incredibly valuable.

For decades they were mechanical, with the three familiar reels. Now, they've largely become digital, and some slot games don't even vaguely look like their classic predecessors. This has enabled all sorts of new games with bonus features, video inserts, and more ways to tease players. With old-school reel slots, you pulled the arm and the game…

Plans have been announced for the 6-acre south-Strip location (across from Aria) purchased by hotel and restaurant magnate Tilman Fertitta for $270 million earlier this year.

Nov 11 (PR): Of course, the majority of people are aware of the "casino whales" and "high rollers," extremely wealthy people who love nothing more than to spend hours gambling millions of dollars. But in casinos, the wealthiest patrons are typically the establishments' owners rather than the players. One or two of these owners are at the pinnacle…

For a city that still has various Elvis Presley's, a few Michael Jackson's, and a Whitney Houston hologram perform every night, Las Vegas has very little nostalgia when it comes to its buildings. The Las Vegas Strip rewards the new and that means that casinos routinely get remodeled and even imploded before something new goes on that site. Some…

Everyone associates a few things with Las Vegas, but a major new casino player on the Strip has thrown out a classic to try something new. The covid pandemic literally stopped Las Vegas' growing momentum in its tracks.

There…

In the UnitedStates, casinos are big money.

New York. Paris. Venice. Egypt. The world's great historic cultural capitals. In Las Vegas, thanks to the Luxor, Venetian, Paris and New York-New York casino hotels, you can visit them all in one day. Kidding aside, high culture rarely springs to mind when thinking about Las Vegas. Nightlife, dining, gaming, sports, shows, spectacle, pop music,…

While one Strip resort is doubling down on families, more are going 21+ and the city has a message for parents. The Las Vegas Strip became known as a gambler's haven in the 1940s after its first resort El Rancho Vegas opened and was shortly followed by other hotel casinos, such as the Flamingo. The Strip expanded in the 1950s and 1960s as more…

Las Vegas spent part of the 1990s trying to be a family-friendly destination. That failed fairly spectacularly. It turns out that gambling and kids don't mix all that well. That does not mean that families never visit Las Vegas. Circus Circus still caters to people forced to visit Sin City with their kids who aren't looking to be the folks you have…

Another domino on the Las Vegas Strip has fallen, and that's only the beginning since dominoes generally ripple, sometimes with unintended consequences. Many of the major moves on the Strip are connected. MGM Resorts (MGM) sold the Mirage to Hard Rock International and that led to it buying the Cosmopolitan. MGM likely planned those two moves, but…

After announcing that it would demolish its four shuttered casinos, it didn't take long for Station Casinos to start the process.

Fiesta Rancho in North Las Vegas,…

You're no doubt familiar with Circus Circus. Amusement park. Inexplicably good steakhouse. Giant neon clown out front. It's been a family favorite for the past 48 years.

The 7000-square-foot all-ages fun center will house "more than 80 games, from classic favorites to the latest releases."

Sin City has welcomed a lot of new projects, and viable locations on Las Vegas Boulevard don't stay empty very long. The pace along the Las Vegas Strip has picked up.

Hollywood is full of stories about crime and the unconventional hero. That's why casino heists are such a reliably entertaining subject for some of the biggest blockbuster films.

Summertime in Las Vegas traditionally means low room rates, and that can be said for the summer of 2022. But for the second year in a row, the rates are noticeably higher than in years past.

Las Vegas loves mystery almost as much as it loves glamour and glitz. The city has a shady past tied to the mafia, and it has always been hard to distinguish legends from reality.

When you think of the Las Vegas Strip, you generally think of the south Strip, which counts Planet Hollywood, Aria, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor among its many properties as well as the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, or the mid-Strip which contains the Venetian, Mirage, Harrah's Caesars Palace, Pairs, and Bellagio among other properties.

Few cities capture the imagination like Las Vegas. If a city was a celebrity, it would be a mix of Marilyn Monroe, Lady Gaga, and Gary Busey: beautiful, larger than life, and slightly insane.

Las Vegas is one of my favorite American cities. I've been visiting Las Vegas each year, sometimes multiple times a year, since 1988.
