Newkirk’s Notes
Hello From Las Vegas! – October is perhaps the most perfect weather month of the year here. While always a few days of exceptions, wind has been calm, and temps have been close to 80F. So, I sure can’t complain!
Paris/Bally’s Don’t Appear To Be Sold For Now – Caesars (Eldorado) Entertainment has been very open about wanting to sell a property. And, related or not, the food and shopping options at both Paris and Bally’s have seen tons of closures (especially if you include that ugly shopping area in front of Bally’s). This spurred the thought that the changes or contract non-renewals were in preparation for a sale.
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 Bally’s Still For Sale, and Why Are They Closing Restaurants and Shops?
– Get Your NHL Hockey Fix Even If Vegas Golden Knights Don’t Play During Your Stay
– Must-See Las Vegas Series On YouTube
– The Riviera Land Has Sold. What’s Next?
– Celine On Hold, For How Long?
…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Martha Stewart’s First Las Vegas Restaurant Is Coming to the Strip in 2022
Long rumored, but now confirmed by a construction permit filing, celebrity entrepreneur, TV personality, and culinary tutor Martha Stewart will debut her first restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip at Paris Las Vegas sometime in 2022. Early rumors, first floated by the VitalVegas blog in July, pointed to long-time Stewart friend and hip-hop star Snoop Dogg as a collaborator, but initial paperwork only names the venture as the Martha Stewart Restaurant. A spokesperson for parent company Caesars Entertainment previously chose not to confirm or deny any speculation about a restaurant from Martha Stewart opening at the French-themed casino and hotel. The resort allocated an estimated budget of $100,000 to “selectively” demolish an existing space on the Strip property to make way for the new restaurant.

Hi Ted,
Just a quick question:
I know that the casinos require a mask but will a face shield be sufficient or does have to be a mask. Please let me know as I will be heading there in about 2 weeks.
