I started a new poll today. I am curious to see what people are playing in Las Vegas these days. It seems like every time I go the slots machines are the clear winners yet when I talk to people most of them claim to play the table games.
For me, I guess I have to admit that I spend most of my time on the slot machines but… I have been known to waste quite a few hours at a good craps table.
It is interesting to note that "Gaming Today" (a free newsletter you can find in most casinos) has reported that this is the first year that a whopping 68 percent of slot managers sadid that they would either decrease the number of machines on the floor or they would remain the same. Needless to say the industry is expecting virtually no growth over a year ago.

With this being a long weekend Las Vegas is gearing up for some serious fun.
I was looking around town to see what would be fun to do and here are a few ideas to try. First, off the MGM Grand hands down has the best weekend booked. I mean this hotel knows how to throw a mean party.
On Friday the 23rd The Police are playing. I know this brings me back to my hay day (or is it hey day?) but Synchronicity has to be one of the best albums EVER made.
So they kick off the weekend with a great concert and then they manage to bringing the hottest event in town UFC. I know this stuff is a little brutal for some but I love it, and I hope Sherk dismantles Penn. I am calling it right now if Sherk is winning watch for BJ to “accidentally” give Sean a thumb in the eye. I mean seriously when are they going to deal with this guy?
OK so Friday is the concert and Saturday is the fight so what do you do on Sunday? Watch a great comedy show , right? How does Robin Williams sound? Ya, that’s right MGM manages to finish off the weekend with Robin Williams, outstandng!
If you haven’t booked anything yet you better get your butt in gear and hurry up. There are a few sales on right now that may be worth looking at. I know Virgin America has a seat sale on but whether they have availability is anyone's guess.

Good luck and have fun!

There has been a lot of talk these days whether Las Vegas and more specifically whether gambling is recession proof.
With gambling revenues and hotel occupancy down and in some cases drastically so, Las Vegas is definitely starting to feel the economic sting. A lot of pundits may say that Las Vegas is slowing because the economy as a whole has slowed.
But, if that is the case then why is Disneyland doing so well?
The answer is so simple it is mind boggling as to why the CEO’s in charge of these billion dollar corporations can’t see it. Las Vegas has become EXPENSIVE; in fact it has become ridiculously expensive.
While Las Vegas has been busy up scaling it’s restaurants and hotels, Disney has been doing the exact opposite. This is the reason why Walt Disney Co.'s theme parks and resorts have enjoyed surprising success. They reported second-quarter earnings up by 22 percent from a year ago, to $1.13 billion, or 58 cents a share. Analysts had been expecting 51 cents a share.
So, what can we expect to see from Sin City in the coming months? Well, I hope we see a total revision of their business, but the reality is they probably will just spend more on marketing. Although I do expect to start seeing some VERY good deals for hotel rates in the near future, I would be happier if they would start downscaling and making Las Vegas once again a place where you can get a burger if you like for $5.
I guess only time will tell. But, in the mean time keep your eyes open for some good deals. Here is one for my readers to enjoy.
