Blogging Las Vegas: This seemed like a good idea

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-seemed-like-good-idea.html

Wednesday, July 2, 2008. This seemed like a good idea. Ah, to be in a Harrah's Entertainment board meeting when some industrious employee said, "You know, our pool doesn't seem slutty enough. Maybe we should partner with a strip club.". And the worst part, somebody not only signed off on the idea, but they made it happen. Having a horrible idea is one thing, going through with it is quite another. But the reviews are in, here. And do we even need to discuss the outrageous price for men? Seriously. If...

Blogging Las Vegas: Tropicana Getting Image Makeover

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2009/02/tropicana-getting-image-makeover.html

Saturday, February 14, 2009. Tropicana Getting Image Makeover. The Tropicana Entertainment has hired an image consulting firm to spruce up its reputation. The same company that helped lead Starbucks to lofty heights. But is this a good thing? Some people actually enjoy staying in places were the Vegas legends have graced the halls. Not some strip mall with a casino. To borrow a little bit from the comments on that story linked above, here are some suggestions for the Tropicana. But these are just small t...

Blogging Las Vegas: Guess Which Hotel This Is

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2009/02/guess-which-hotel-this-is.html

Saturday, February 14, 2009. Guess Which Hotel This Is. It was formerly dingy. It was formerly dirty. It was a dive. It is the Gold Spike. That's right, the Gold Spike is all dolled up now, and ready for business. The Gold Spike used to be that last spot of desperation. Somewhere between a free clinic and a bus stop. Only maybe not as nice. A place that smelled so bad, that the 19-year old with a fake ID puking in the corner actually improved the aroma. In other words, it was just wonderful. Christas tre...

Blogging Las Vegas: Sahara Brings Back $1 Blackjack

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2009/06/sahara-brings-back-1-blackjack.html

Sunday, June 28, 2009. Sahara Brings Back $1 Blackjack. The Sahara is bringing back $1 blackjack. Coming via What Brian Thinks about Las Vegas. Finally, somebody on the strip gets it. A lot of people don't really like to play such low stakes. But as somebody who just enjoys the game and if you can double your $20 to $40, there is nothing better. But there is even better news. The Sahara is also offering $1 beers. What do you think of that? Love this move by the Sahara, though. July 1, 2009 at 7:11 PM.

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2008/06/progress-at-spike.html

Thursday, June 19, 2008. Progress at the Spike. The renovations at the Gold Spike continue to move forward. A "hard hat tour" is one of the easiest gimmicks available to keep a casino construction project in the spotlight. It starts with a fancy invitation sent by a public relations firm to members of the media. More . But there might not be enough money for that to happen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Blogging Las Vegas: The End Is Near

http://blogginglasvegas.blogspot.com/2009/01/end-is-near.html

Friday, January 16, 2009. The End Is Near. Les Folies Bergere," the topless revue at the Tropicana hotel-casino and a Las Vegas institution, is ending its nearly half-century Las Vegas run. The Tropicana, whose parent company is trying to emerge from bankruptcy, said today the Parisian show will end on March 28. MORE. As sad as it is that the show is leaving, it's even sadder that the Les Folies Bergere billboard will be gone, too. Labels: Les Folies Bergere. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

And preliminary reports indicate that the new owner will look to make the property a mid-tier resort. That's music to my ears. The strip could use some mid-tier choices for a change.
