Las Vegas is Getting More Expensive

Las Vegas is always changing, and coming out of the pandemic it seems no city bounced back stronger. It’s no longer just a destination to do some gambling, see a show, and grab a cheap steak dinner. It’s so much more, and you’re probably going to pay for that. Sin City is now a prime location for top-notch entertainment.

And executives at some of the biggest gambling companies are taking notice, and possibly seizing on the opportunity. Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment, recently commented…

Las Vegas Baseball Throws a Changeup

Well that escalated quickly! Just weeks after announcing Las Vegas baseball was a done deal, and that a new stadium would be built off the Strip near Interstate 15, things have turned once again.

However, in order to meet the fast approaching deadline of June 5th (which is the end of the Nevada Legislative session), some things needed to be moved around… like the location of that new stadium.

Mirage Las Vegas to Stay ‘Mirage’ Till 2025

The ownership may have officially changed, but Mirage Las Vegas will remain the Mirage for at least another 18 months. Hard Rock International took over management of the casino resort from MGM Resorts on December 19th, but the anticipated name change will not come for some time. Hard Rock made big Las Vegas news a year ago when they announced their plans to purchase and takeover Mirage Las Vegas. However, that proposal didn’t receive approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission until recently. And now that the $1.1 billion sale is official, some may be wondering when the name change and…
