Hard Rock Las Vegas Starts to Take Shape
The new Hard Rock Las Vegas almost seems like it’s been forgotten. But behind that huge “privacy” fence, construction crews are working diligently to get that new guitar shaped hotel in place. They’ve spent several months clearing the land and digging down to set a new foundation. And now, you can actually start to see how things are going to come together. We actually visited the site on The Strip less than a year ago, and you can find that video embedded below. The iconic guitar-shaped tower for Hard Rock Las Vegas will rise on the former site of the…
Goodbye to Some Popular Las Vegas Attractions
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Sometimes popular Las Vegas attractions are now either gone, cancelled, or leaving soon. So this week in gambling, we’re saying goodbye to some concerts and clubs, shows and services, restaurants, and maybe even a resort on the strip. In the ever evolving high stakes gambling landscape, Las Vegas attractions come and go. So we kick off this program with the Strip property that many think should have gone a long time ago. Circus Circus. The often maligned resort has officially been listed for sale with an asking price of $5 billion….

Vegas Show Pawn Stars Coming to an End
We never got to visit the Pawn Stars downtown location, but we hear we didn’t miss much. That’s not a negative statement about the show or the shop, but if we’re being honest it was more of a tourist trap that a real destination. The guys on the show are never there. In fact, the television series was filmed away from the actual store. So if you did visit the location, you were not going to see anything juicy. Still, we loved watching the show for the 20-plus years it ran on History Channel. And it made the Gold &…
