I haven’t done a round up in a while because there hasn’t been much news that I haven’t had time to touch on. In the past couple of weeks that has changed. Here are a slew of stories from Atlantic City to Las Vegas and a little in between.
- MGM Mirage and Sands reported earnings this week. The Las Vegas Sun says things may be improving for casinos in Las Vegas.
- When reporting earnings, MGM Mirage lessened the value of their land in Atlantic City.
- A Federal judge looks at two plans for Trump Casinos in Atlantic City.
- Evidently the Eden Bar at Harrah’s is the best bar to find “cougars.”
- Philly.com looks at the Pennsylvania casinos. I’m told table games are coming in August.
- Interesting thought. Is Harrah’s too big?
- Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood is closing.
- The Pussycat Dolls Lounge at Caesars Palace is closing. I did find out that it’s moving to Paris. Props to Five Hundy By Midnight.
- I haven’t been to Luxor in a while. Evidently, it’s been remodeled and is underwhelming.
- Stiffs and Georges has jumped in front of the rest as my regularly updated go-to blog. Short, quick, accurate casino & gambling news from across the US.
just remember boys and girls, if your casino is failing, just add italian wedding soup to the buffet and french fries to the salad bar (??!!). that’ll turn things around!
given that, I can’t WAIT for SugarHouse to open, if it ever does!
