Recent Las Vegas News

Happy Labor Day! Here’s some of the Las Vegas news that was reported during the last week:

Sept. 5, 2010 All Station and Fiesta casinos have a good low-level comp deal, good Sundays through Thursdays in September. Earn 100 Boarding Pass points in a day and get a free breakfast or lunch buffet, or earn 200 for a free brunch or dinner buffet. You keep the points. Depending on the games you play, that’s just $100-$400 coin-in which is a very low qualifying requirement.

Sept. 4, 2010 Upwards of 290,000 visitors are expected to come to Las Vegas this Labor Day weekend which is a a 2.8% increase over last year. Revenues, however, are expected to be lower in most areas which is a continuation of the overall theme for the past several months: More people, less spending.

Sept. 3, 2010 On Thursday, Sept. 9, the Nevada Restaurant Association (NvRA) and The Palazzo host the Las Vegas Epicurean Affair, with poolside samples of cuisine and cocktails from nearly 75 restaurants and beverage purveyors. The event takes place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and General Admission tickets are $100 each, available at the Venetian and Palazzo box office on 702/414-9000.

Sept. 2, 2010 The Las Vegas Hilton issued a statement saying that the troubled heiress, who’s experiencing much negative fallout from her recent alleged cocaine-possession bust at Wynn Las Vegas, remains welcome at her namesake hotel, although it’s no longer owned by the Hilton family.
