  1. It’s slowly improving. Room rates on weekends have picked up enough to ward off some of the face tat crowd. Weed still an issue. Uber/cabs still not great but they allowed surge pricing again and that has helped availability improve. There is some conference/convention activity but should be a lot more in 2022.
  2. Thursday/Friday/Saturday are the first days of the main event of World Series of Poker at the Rio. So you’ll see a bunch of dudes cruising around with backpacks. Raiders are out of town. And I think you’ll be there right before they start allowing the Europeans to visit. That’s gonna be noteworthy.
  3. Supposedly one of the guys in the Hustler cash game last night just left his chips and went to the Lakers game. And then he got kicked out of the Lakers game. And he might be back in the cash game tonight . . . Early in the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard got into a tussle on the bench that briefly turned physical. Somehow, that was not the strangest incident of the game. A fan getting ejected for slapping Rajon Rondo's hand away from his face took the prize. Toward the end of the third quarter, there was a delay in the game as attendants cleaned up a spill next to the court. As everyone waited for play to restart, a fan sitting courtside had some words for Rondo. It's not clear exactly what he said, but in this video you can see the fan in the hat saying something in his direction. Rondo immediately points at him, and when play stops again a few seconds later, he points again and looks toward the referee. A short time later the fan was ejected, though it wasn't initially clear why because the camera had cut away. On the replay from a different angle, you can see why. Rondo continued to point at the fan and eventually started making a finger gun gesture in his face. The fan responded by slapping Rondo's hand away, and security rushed onto the floor to usher the fan away. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/fan-ejected-from-lakers-suns-game-after-slapping-rajon-rondos-hand-away-from-his-face/
  4. It’s always great to watch Ivey play. Tom Dwan didn’t show up last night but according to the feed from last night he and Ivey are both slated to play tonight which should be awesome. It was really cool to see those guys playing live at Bellagio and Aria years ago.
  5. Don’t know what is proposed on the design for any expansion but from the link above: Clark County says as many as 57,000 passengers will be able to travel through it per hour
  6. It’s EDC weekend. Room rates are way up. Let us know how it is.
  7. It’s first paragraph of the article in the link: Dubbed the “Vegas Loop,” the system will allow passengers to hitch rides in Teslas to and from places like the hotel casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, the city’s new football stadium, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and McCarran International Airport.

  9. Somehow I dodged the JM debacle in Austin thankfully. I did offer up some cash to Justin at Pecan Lodge when I heard he was getting a restaurant location and moving from the Farmer’s Market but he said that they were all set. I thought it would be a financial success. But yeah, restaurant investing in general seems like a bad idea.
  10. Tell her to show up with a chair and text you when she orders the food. Seems like this ranking sort of came out of nowhere. Didn’t really see a lot of mentions on here previously about this place being the best of FW area although maybe I missed some of them. Overall that’s good for the DFW BBQ scene. Should spur even more competition.
  11. LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Fontainebleau, which has sat empty on the Las Vegas Strip for more than a decade, will no longer become a Marriott-operated property and will operate as a Fontainebleau as originally planned years ago, 8 News Now has learned. In July, Marriott announced plans to finally open the towering blue building in 2023 as a JW Marriott. A website dedicated to the future hotel has since disappeared. Marriott had said it would operate the 3,700-room property as “the first JW Marriott on the Las Vegas Strip.” “Marriott recently reached an amicable settlement with the hotel’s owner that has resulted in Marriott exiting the project,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to 8 News Now. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/marriott-scraps-plans-to-open-former-fontainebleau-on-las-vegas-strip-drew-koch-industries/
  12. Yep. The last guy said it wasn’t a thing. Sounds like that has changed under the new regime.
