Newkirk’s Notes
Hello From Las Vegas! – COVID numbers are generally trending in the right direction here in Nevada, and if all goes well, the mask mandate will fall in a few weeks. Most likely just for the vaccinated (on a voluntary level). I have to believe it will be quite some time (think months) before casinos go back to a “no mask” rule based on security concerns.
Having said that, enforcement is very lax. Both in the tourism areas and in the rest of Las Vegas. Even with the mandate, I’m getting used to seeing unmasked people when I’m out on errands and such. Granted, I can’t speak for every business nor every gaming property. So, keep your mask with you. And as previously noted, please carefully check the vaccine proof and/or mask requirements before you buy tickets to any kind of entertainment.
The Sale Of The Cosmo – I wanted to give a little time for the dust to settle on this one. Few saw the Cosmo sale to the MGM Resorts coming. Don’t get me wrong: It wasn’t so much a shock. However, strong rumors had everyone from Tribal Gaming concerns to the Golden Nugget owner and CNBC Billion Dollar Buyer Tillman Fertitta showing a strong interest.
So, who is this good for? MGM Resorts. Who is it bad for? Unfortunately, everyone else. Even if you are an MGM player.
This column, breaking down
– Is this going to be a good thing for rated MGM players? Or, maybe not?
– What about the generous drink comps?
– Will Cosmo’s curated food and beverage suffer?
– Will there be employee shake-up, and how will customer service change?
…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Victory Burger Serves Up Bold Combinations At Las Vegas’ Circa Resort
As sports continue to take over the Vegas consciousness, now seems like the right time to revisit the very sporty Circa and check out the goods at a restaurant we missed when it opened last year. Victory Burger & Wings Co. is basically built around watching sports, an airy space with plenty of screens of its own, perched above the casino’s mega-sportsbook and connected to all the action.

Pools aren’t just the only way to cool off in Vegas, we also have so many Dayclubs you can go to, you just have to be an adult of course. Imagine going to a nightclub, but during the day, and you get to wear a swimsuit plus get day drunk, sounds like a dream. You can come in to a dayclub by either buying tickets, getting on the guestlist, or buying bottle service.
I have included several of my most trusted club employees that can get you in. You can also see some of your favorite DJ’s at these clubs, so make sure you look through each website and event calendar to help you choose better the location. In this video I am taking you to Marquee at Cosmopolitan, Encore Beach Club or EBC at the Wynn/Encore, Wet Republic at MGM Grand, and Daylight at Mandalay Bay. Again, bring your ID!
