Newkirk’s Notes
Hello From Las Vegas! – Well, I had this issue all prepped. Then, The Mirage got sold (signaling a fair amount of pending change), and the Oakland A’s baseball team made a bid deal about possibly buying The Tropicana and sticking a baseball stadium there.
What few are talking about is a major new trend quietly hinted at by MGM Resorts a couple of weeks ago, and apparently getting solidified by the plans the new owners of The Mirage has.
Hard Rock International Buys The Mirage – We finally know who the buyer is for The Mirage. It has been no secret that Hard Rock wanted to establish a presence on The Strip, and spent just over a billion dollars to do so. That just for the business and the buildings. Not the land nor the brand name.
This column, breaking down
– What’s Next For The Mirage?
– Are They Really Going To Build A Guitar-Shaped Hotel Tower In Front Of It?
– Have We Seen The End Of The “Mirage” Name In Las Vegas?
– What’s Really Going On With The Oakland A’s Building A Stadium At The Tropicana?
…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Carrie Underwood Has Raised the Bar With ‘Reflection – The Las Vegas Residency’
Carrie Underwood approaches her residency at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas like a championship-caliber football team might approach the Super Bowl. The tools for greatness already existed before Wednesday night’s (Dec. 1) debut; she wouldn’t be there if they didn’t. But a plan lacking a brilliant concept, relentless preparation, focused teamwork and attention to every dazzling detail would fall short of transformative.

If “Supper Clubs” Are The Future of The Las Vegas Strip, We’ll Have Some More, Please
The most exciting thing about the current supper club trend on the Las Vegas Strip is that it’s not really about supper clubs. That term likely inspires images of old-school Vegas-casino dining spaces with vintage decor where you can enjoy cocktails and food and great live entertainment without paying for a ticket. There certainly are fragments of that experience at various venues that have popped up on the Strip during the past two years, but like the resorts that host them, these destinations are too special and different to fit together under a single banner.

Members Mania
Note From Ted:
Members Mania is a regular feature for our Supporting (Paid) Members. Membership includes our “Your Guy In Vegas” feature, where you can reach out to myself and our paid staff of experts with your specific Vegas questions. We don’t have “canned” answers. We’ll ask you for some details pertaining to your wants and needs. Then, answer accordingly.
I don’t do sports really, unless you count horses, however I look to see there is a line on even the Bahama Bowl in a week and a half. Using it as a hypothetical, how accurate do you think the line is on Middle Tenn and Toledo? I have a notion given the obscurity there might be some value (few would take a deep dive on Middle Tenn.).
Then again, since they are likely not to be bet heavily, perhaps the experts have their way and end up setting the line even if set incorrectly at first (not much in the way of dumb money).
George Geddes via the Vice Lounge Online Facebook Group
Paid (Supporting) Members, please login to your Membership Area to read the answer!
For our Members, we go into:
– Why the sports betting line is sometimes way off.
– When to feel fairly confident on making a bet that appears to go against what the odds are saying.
– An additional bet you should make under certain circumstances, and what to look for.
Whether it has been accurate information on exactly what is happening in Las Vegas, accurately letting our Members know what to expect as Las Vegas reopened, specific information they NEED to know for their next visit which we answer via our “ Your Guy In Vegas“ Membership benefit, or more…
Investing less than $3 per month (paid yearly) with our Access Vegas Insider Vibe Membership Program is the ultimate way to hedge the thousands you spend on your Las Vegas vacation.

Valley of Fire, Bowl of Fire both perfect for fall excursions
Southern Nevada’s favorable fall weather translates into good times in outdoor spaces that have fire in their names. Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead’s Bowl of Fire are two spots worth visiting on these cooler days. Vibrant and geologically stunning red rock formations are clustered in the state park about an hour north of Las Vegas, and along the far reaches of Northshore Road in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. In the months of May through September, sizzling temperatures can make both areas dangerous for those who want to roam around and soak in the scenery. The rocks retain heat like cast-iron cookware, and shade is rare. By contrast, precious days without winds too strong or temperatures too low in November through February are ideal for planning short or long hikes and simple or elaborate picnics.

David Copperfield reveals secret magic museum in new book – PHOTOS
The man who has made the Statue of Liberty vanish and walked through the Great Wall of China, strives to travel through time. Living in the moment won’t suffice for David Copperfield. This is true in his stage show at MGM Grand Theater, which employs black-and-white film clips depicting Copperfield’s father, and a time-worn, handwritten letter written decades ago. The illusionist’s zeal to span generations is celebrated on an even grander scale at his own private museum of magic. He’s dubbed it the David Copperfield International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts, but passersby won’t find an elaborate sign outside, or any indication at all of what lies inside the 40,000-square-foot, one-time warehouse just a few miles from his eponymous theater where he performs 15 shows a week.

Lady Gaga’s Back in Las Vegas! An Up-Close Look at Her Residency and Its Knockout Wardrobe
Before visiting Las Vegas for the first time-to see Lady Gaga’s “Jazz & Piano” residency, which has returned, post COVID-19 shut-down, to Dolby Live at the Park MGM-I thought of the city as a place powered by big corp hucksterism, cash burn and drunkenness, fish-hooking those prone to chasing long shot fantasies. In pop culture, Vegas’s scamminess has been lionized (the Ocean’s franchise), satirized (Ken Jeong’s Leslie Chow in The Hangover), and sexualized (Showgirls). And yeah, Vegas has packed heavyweight punches when it comes to entertainment (Céline, Britney, et al.), yet much of the city’s programming has felt manufactured for surface thrill in the same way a slot machine’s neon burns through the dimness of the casino floor, advertising its next payout ($12,650!). As such and for so long, Las Vegas was a no-go. But I was wrong to be so dismissive.

Where to Find Buffets Open Inside Casinos in Las Vegas
Culinary trailblazers back in the 1940s found a way to keep gamblers inside the resorts with cheap food, and lots of it. El Rancho Vegas, the Strip’s first resort, came up with the chuck wagon, the earliest version of the modern day buffet to turn up in Las Vegas. As UNLV’s Center for Gaming Research writes, “quantity was usually emphasized over quality.”

The Palms’ New Owners Share Property Plans For The 1st Time
The Palms’ soon-to-be owners are ready to get to work. Several months after announcing a $650-million deal to buy the Palms from Red Rock Resorts, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians shared details for the first time publicly about its plans to reshape and reopen the off-Strip resort. San Manuel is targeting the first half of 2022 to reopen the Palms for the first time since the COVID-19 shutdown last spring, and the tribe has plans to run the property with a focus on gaming and Las Vegas locals. The San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority, a subsidiary of the tribe, must receive gaming regulatory approval before it can own and operate the hotel-casino. Upon approval, which the authority hopes will come in November or December, San Manuel can begin working.
