News
- Bill- The Guardian, in a July 2 story debating whether the As stadium ever gets actually built, notes that construction costs are increasing daily and that John Fisher has seen costs rise from 1.5B to 1.75B– an increase of $250,000,000 for a project that already has strained financing.
- John- Scott @ Vital Vegas is reporting “substantial layoffs” at Treasure Island amongst room attendants, cooks, servers, and bartenders.
- Bill- Chelsea Leite, writing for SBNation.com, says the dynasty era for the Las Vegas Aces may be over. After winning the championship in 2022 and 2023 and making a strong run in 2024, they are as of July 5 sitting at 8-9 on the season. They are 10th in points per game, 12th in field goal percentage, and 11th in assists per game. What do you think about catching major sports in Las Vegas?
- John- According the the New York Post and multiple other sources, Kelly Clarkson cancelled the Independence Day debut of her new residency at Caesars, blaming tired vocal chords in preparing for the show and wanting it to be perfect. The cancellation happened hours before the show. What would fair be to the fans if you have travelled to Vegas just to see this show? What would happen to your refund if you bought the ticket on the secondary market?
- Bill- Fox 5 and other sources are reporting that there was a fire in a storage room in the parking structure at the Cromwell. Sprinklers contained the fire, and the Las Vegas Fire Department responded to the scene. Pictures show smoke billowing out of the parking garage.
- John- According to Mike Florio of NBC Sports, the 2028 Final Four will be held in Allegiant Stadium. Do you remember when major sports were still hesitant to go to Vegas?
- Bill- According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Carbone– which already has an outpost at Aria-i will be moving into the space in Bellagio previously occupied by Picasso. (We shared Scott at VV’s post predicting this in Episode 42)
- John- Neon Feast and Neon News (Al Mancini, Gemini Stevens, and crew) have shared their list restaurants with a view, compiled by Vegas Food and Beverage Industry insiders they interviewed
