Hello From Las Vegas! – We pushed my column early last week to members, as it had important information about the pending strike at most Las Vegas hotels. In it, we gave the lengthy real dirt on what would happen, what wouldn’t happen, what to expect, and some “must do” tips if visiting during a hotel strike here.
We are happy to report that both Caesars Entertainment (Total Rewards) and MGM Resorts (Mlife) have settled with the union. Come rain or shine, union members will get a 2.7% pay raise each year for the next five years. Details have yet to come out about what was agreed to regarding the other concerns they were voicing.
When this happens, the rest of the smaller/independent properties usually fall into line. Hence, highly unlikely we’ll see any disruption unless one of the independent operators wants to try to bust the union at his hotel. This happened a couple of decades ago as the last strike stretched on for many years at The Frontier. So, with some of this still up in the air, (members) don’t delete that special report I sent out last week.
We’ll be back to my normal column next week.
Hope you are enjoying this issue!

There’s a time and a place for Taco Bell — that time is 2 a.m. and that place is the drive-thru from the backseat of an Uber — but authentic Mexican food is an entirely different experience. An authentic Mexican restaurant serves tortillas that don’t come from a bag and offers tacos with toppings that aren’t just ground beef and shredded cheese.

For the first time in 20 years, passengers boarded a train Friday connecting Boulder City to Henderson. Gov. Brian Sandoval squatted down and took a few whacks at a chrome spike on a stretch of track that finally bridges a gap created two decades ago between the Southern Nevada cities.

We’re doing a slightly different Members Mania this week. In our Members Only Facebook Group, I recently posted an article about the top spots to do traditional afternoon tea here in Las Vegas. And, also noted that even if someone isn’t so much a “tea and finger foods” person, these might be places to take note of as more quiet respites from the din and clatter that can be Las Vegas. We had some great members chime in with their thoughts.
