Hello From Las Vegas! – We’re having a heat wave, with record temps in the 70’s. Fortunately, one local weatherman said that having a warm winter does not necessarily mean a scorching summer. We’ll wait and see on that one. Last summer was the warmest on record. At least we’re getting the payback for it!
Bellagio Fountain View Room, $60, Free Parking, No Resort Fees – I pride myself on really staying up on Las Vegas trends. With rare exception, my predictions on where tourism is headed come true. However, I confess that I had to get up to speed on this one. Visitors are staying on or near The Strip while skipping out on the resort and parking fees:

Dating someone who lives Downtown? If so, you might just get lucky … and, of course, by that we mean that you might get to partake in the DTLV denizen morning ritual of strolling or rolling up to Donut Bar (gotta love that 15-minute loading-only spot!) for what is quite possibly the best deal in town.
A music icon officially met an iconic Las Vegas landmark last night when the Goddess of Pop, Cher, arrived at the world-famous Fountains of Bellagio to debut a new fountains show to her hit song, “Believe.” Cher, joined by MGM Resorts International and AEG Presents executives, viewed the new show for the first time alongside hundreds of fans gathered at the Strip-side attraction.

Crews on Wednesday morning, Januar 24, 2018, began laying down 16,000 square feet of Hybrid Bermuda 419 turf, converting Cashman Field into an authentic soccer venue. The first conversion of the stadium’s surface will remain in place through the end of February, hosting the first three matches in Las Vegas Lights Football Club (FC) history.

The hotel-casino recently renovated and rebranded its Gold Diggers nightclub space as Troy Liquor Bar. “I basically brought the venue into this century,” says Sean Charsley, the director of nightlife for the Downtown casino.

Thanks again for all your informative newsletters. You and your team do an outstanding job of keeping us Vegas fans in the loop of what’s happening. The newsletter has come a long way since I first started reading it several years ago. Take a “bow”! 🙂
Just a quick question. You had mentioned that the Vegas Hotels tend to open their pools in mid to late March. Normally I’m a spring and fall visitor – but this year I’m going to be venturing to other destinations (gasp!!) for vacations and I will be visiting Vegas in December this year.
Don’t some of the Hotels, such as Mirage & Caesars, still have a portion of their pools open in the winter because they’re heated? I’m from Upstate New York – so taking a dip in the upper 50Fs or low 60Fs would still be refreshing than the 20F degree with -5F wind chills I deal with at home!
Take care!

Those who don’t subscribe are still getting the old version. We’re kicking it up a notch for paid subscribers who are helping support us financially. Their “cup of coffee a month” (less than $2 per month, $23.95 per year) helps us finance all of the great new information we’re helping members with. For example, this week, members are learning how to experience Las Vegas the way they enjoy, while skipping the obnoxious new fees! (That will save you well over $100 on an average stay).
Yes, a handful of properties do keep their pools open year-round. They usually have one pool open (not the entire pool complex), and don’t expect DJ’s and drink service! Two Novembers ago at the Bellagio pool, there were a few hearty Canadians plus one guy swimming laps.
The full, unedited Members Mania questions are available to our Premium Members. Members get guarenteed specific help with their Las Vegas questions from our knowledgeable, Las Vegas based staff. We then (where appropriate) share this help with ALL of our members.
In addition, the following three special reports are available IMMEDIATELY to paying members:
1. How To Con The Casino Computers Into Comping You More – This invaluable report will help turn the seldom-comped player into someone on the casino radar, and turn a regularly comped player into getting better offers! This information alone is worth many times the cost of the membership!
2. How To Recover Left Behind Articles From A Cab Virtually Immediately – If you’ve never left anything behind in a cab while on vacation, lucky you. It can ruin your trip. Even if the items get turned in, it can take hours and hours to get them back. We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
3. How To Avoid Paying Taxes On Many Gambling Wins – Did you know that the casino MUST report any slot or video poker win over $1199 to the IRS (who will tax you on it whether you report it to them or not)? Depending on your tax bracket, this can/will cost you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. Learn what you need to know NOW (before you visit the casino) to avoid getting victimized at tax time!
