Strip softens, locals don’t; Culinary coup; Fanatic-al frenzy
It had to happen sometime. But it’s strange that Las Vegas Strip gambling revenues would lose momentum in a month (May) in which visitation to Sin City rose 1.5% from last year. 3.5 million people hit town, sending hotel occupancies … Continue reading
Stupid political antics; Baseball boondoggle; Mega-Jottings
American Gaming Association President Bill Miller likes to say—and quite rightly—that communities should welcome casinos because Big Gaming is willing to pay big taxes. Until now, that is. Las Vegas Sands has barely planted its flag in Nassau, New York, … Continue reading

Bally’s all-but-done deal; Meruelo trashed
So long, Tropicana Las Vegas. Say hello, National Basketball Association and Major League Soccer. And let’s not forget lacrosse and badminton. Since there is no stadium deal for which the Nevada Lege will not bend over and grab its ankles, … Continue reading

Atlantic City doldrums; Black Tuesday; Culinary wins one
Our man in Atlantic City has posted a flurry of dispatches, mainly concerning his new stomping ground, Harrah’s Resort. What you see above is the indoor pool, which doubles as a nightclub. When last visited, there was a (short) line … Continue reading

Adios, Tropicana; Wynn’s beat goes on; Sex & OSB
As much as we sensed it was coming and were resigned to it, it’s sad to know that the Tropicana Las Vegas has been marked for imminent death. The Las Vegas Strip dowager is showing her years, admittedly, but she’s … Continue reading

Control Board buffoonery; Super-Mega-Jottings
