Garth Brooks is coming out of retirement to perform at the Wynn Las Vegas for an extended period of time. Garth Brooks at the Wynn has been rumored for some time. Garth has been retired since 2000, to spend more time with his children.
Garth Brooks beat Steve Wynn to the punch with the announcement that he would be staring at the Wynn. Steve Wynn had a press conference scheduled for later today.
The Encore Theater at the Wynn has been mostly empty since the Death of Danny Gans in May.
Bob Stupak, best known for building the Stratosphere, passed away at age 67 from Lukemia.
Stupak was a Vegas icon who loved publicity. In 1989 he placed a $1 million Bet on the Super Bowl and won. Bob was also very charitable, when it came to the city of Las Vegas.
The Stratosphere will be one of Bob’s legacies. I remember when the news broke that the Stratosphere’s one leg was shorter than the other and it would cost millions to fix. Bob, was determined to see his dream of the Stratorsphere come true and leveraged some of the casino to have it fixed so progress could continue.
Finally, the Tourism leaders drop their new themes and went back to something that works. We didn’t like it when it changed the first time.
Remember back in the 90’s, “Las Vegas is the number one Family Destination” (Clark Griswald) Family? “We don’t need no stinkin family”. Leave the kids at home.
Some of the Old themes were:Vegas Right Now, Crazy Times call for crazy fun”
I did like “Vegas Calling” with Don Rickles.
There is vulgar language in the YouTube post (NSFW)
Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas had a small fire due to an air conditioning unit on the second floor overheating in a wall being built. Heavy Smoke alerted security and guests, there were no smoke detectors/alarms in the new construction area.
The evacuation lasted for two hours, can’t be too safe. I hope the guests got free drink coupons.
There were no serious injuries, but one hotel swcuity staff went to the hospital due to smote inhalation, we hope it is not Deebo from Rehab.
The fire interupted everything from the opening day of the NFL at the sportsbook to the Rehab pool party.
The first five floors suffered from smoke and water damage.
Sunday was the official kick-off to the NFL Season (Thrusday Night didn’t count).
(repost from Lasvegas Now)
LAS VEGAS, Nv — Sunday was the official kick off to the NFL season and that’s bringing in a lot of money for Las Vegas sports books.
The economy is getting a big boost thanks to Americans loving football. The Hilton Sports Book, which has been slow all summer, was packed Sunday.
“We might have found the only thing that is recession proof and that’s the NFL,” said Jay Kornegay. Hilton Sports Book Executive Director Jay Kornegay admits he was surprised to see a packed house. As with everything these days, he figured betting on football would take a hit because of the economy, but Sunday proved that theory wrong.
On average, folks are betting anywhere from $50 to $100. But some are dropping cash in the five digits.
“I was very surprised this morning when I got in here at 9 o’ clock there was a line 10-15 deep at the minimum $1000 bets,” said Frank Nein. Nein, a diehard football fan just like the others who showed up Sunday morning, say they wouldn’t miss the start of the season for anything. And betting makes it all that more interesting to watch.
“Las Vegas benefits from the football season including taxi cab drivers, bartenders, restaurants everyone benefits from the NFL,” said Kornegay. This is the second busiest weekend for sports book following Super bowl Sunday.
On July 25th 8 people were arrested for either solicitation of prostitution and/or Posession of narcotics/paraphernailia.
“The eight peopl charged by the district attorney’s office with soliciting prostitution: Jennah Lieboff, Melissa Cortney Essmaker, Galiana Slavshea Georgieva, Elizabeth Alma Corbin, Tobi Jean Sorenson (two counts) and Inna Kokin (two counts). Other charges include those against Erica Faye Hefley and Victor Manuel Camarillo, who were charged with sale of cocaine, conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substance Act and possession of cocaine with the intent to sell.” (Las Vegas sun)
Two of the women, Phoenix Kuzara (soliciting prostitution) and Brooke Firks (obstructing a public officer), will not be charged due to insufficient evidence.
No Charges have been filed against the Rio or Sapphire Gentlemen’s club. The Nevada Gaming Control Board was unable to comment.
Other Undercover operations between LV Metro and the Nevada Gaming continue to happen around Vegas pools
