 April 16, 2025 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…

I’ve been visiting the Bellagio Las Vegas for years now. I also knew the original owner of the “gambling.com” website. And while the famous hotel can accommodate more people than the actual Lake Como in northern Italy… and while Graham was quite possibly the nicest person I’ve ever met… I never thought I would be writing a news article about both at the same time! Despite being over 20 years old, Bellagio in Las Vegas was recently named the world’s best casino by Gambling.com. Known for its elegance and world-class gaming offerings, the Bellagio remains a favorite among visitors, cementing…

Circus Circus. The often maligned resort has officially been listed for sale with an asking price of $5 billion.…

Gambling expansion is always a fight. And when in comes to California sports betting there is a lot on the line. There are so many competing interests and so much money at stake that we should expect this to be a long, convoluted battle.

At the recent Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention in San Diego, representatives from DraftKings and FanDuel…

 April 7, 2025 A few days ago we published an article on the California tribes and other competing interests for the sports betting market. And while we’re happy to report any progress in what seems like an impossibly convoluted situation, it seems that the excitement may have been premature. Now, tribal leaders themselves have released a statement which indicated there is still a long way to go before any sort of agreement. The California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) and the Tribal Alliance of Sovereign Indian Nations (TASIN) released a joint statement which makes it clear that tribes and commercial…

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 &…

Plans for the Bellagio expansion project, including several renderings, were removed from the Paradise Town Advisory Board’s agenda at request of Bellagio.
