Las Vegas Raiders fans got a sharp kick to the giblets as it was announced the team’s first season at Allegiant Stadium will be played without fans in the stands.
News about the decision was first seen in e-mails to season ticket holders.
We’re bummed, and we’re not even a sports person.
The e-mail states: “We Have Made The Difficult Decision To Play The Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Inaugural Season At Allegiant Stadium Without Fans In Attendance.”
You know it’s serious when a football team owner goes full title case.
The e-mail continued, “While the current situation is not how any of us envisioned celebrating the opening of Allegiant Stadium, when circumstances permit we look forward to sharing an unparalleled GameDay Experience in the Magnificent Stadium you helped to build.”
“Magnificent Stadium” would’ve actually be a great name for the stadium, actually.

First, the downtown resort had its construction topping off ceremony on June 19, 2020.
Now, the casino has shared plans for five bars and lounges, just what we needed to help get us through all the pandemic-related WTF currently trying to create a buzzkill in Las Vegas.
Behold, our future home away from home.
Circa Las Vegas will have two opening dates: The first five floors (including the casino) open Oct. 28, 2020. The hotel opens Dec. 28, 2020.
Here’s a look at the new bars planned for Circa, as well as what inspired them. In addition to hooch. That’s sort of a given.

She’s back! Circa’s lobby cocktail lounge will be named after a vintage Vegas sign, Vegas Vickie. Vickie once sat atop the Glitter Gulch strip club, now part of the Circa footprint (along with the former Mermaid’s and the Las Vegas Club).
How many homes away from home is someone allowed to have? Asking for a friend.
We’re so excited for Vegas Vickie to make her return to Fremont Street. We got a little weepy when she was taken down back in 2017.
No, you grow up.
Vickie’s been fully renovated by YESCO Signs, and Vickie will be reunited with her “husband” (yes, they were married), shadowrocket免费节点, when Circa opens in October 2020.
Another exclusive: Vegas Vickie’s boot will feature the signature of the sign’s designer, Charles Barnard.

How do you top the longest bar in Las Vegas (Longbar at The D, same owners as Circa and Golden Gate)? You build a Mega Bar.
Mega Bar looks to be Longbar, amplified.
We suggested Leviathan Supersize Elephantine Bar, but apparently that was already being used.
The bar will set another record for its size (165 feet, Longbar is 100 feet-ish), and will have the only acceptable flair bartenders in Las Vegas. Flair slows down the drinks, but the Longbar guys make up for it with their charm and long pours.
Remember, it’s not just the length, it’s the mirth. You can totally steal that for your advertising, Circa.

Overhang is pretty much going to be a sports lover’s dream, overlooking Circa’s sports book, complete with a 78 million pixel video screen.
The cleverly-named Overhang, pronounced “hangover” when intoxicated, will have video poker machines, which will almost make all the sports tolerable.
We need sports back or everyone at Overhang will be watching “Love Connection” reruns.
AUDREY MARAINComédienne •Chanteuse •Mannequin
The outdoor bars at The D and Golden Gate are pretty much paying for Circa, so it’s no surprise there will be an epic outdoor bar at Circa itself.
Circa Bar will be in the thick of the circus that is Fremont Street Experience, with 24 frozen cocktail flavors and dancing bartenders. The bar top will be fashioned from recycled Skyy Vodka bottles.
The most popular slushy flavors on Fremont Street are strawberry, pina colada and margarita.
We long for a time when everyone can mingle again.
The bar is said to be inspired by Las Vegas’ founding fathers, and will have one of the best views in town from Circa’s 35th floor. Metal busts will line the hall of Legacy Club, so we’re thinking along the line of the Crazy Girls butts. We didn’t read the news release all that closely.
Downtown’s about to get a metric shit-ton of fancy.
Legacy Club will boast a 10-foot display of 1,000 ounces of gold, pretty much guaranteed to be a must-see photo op after one hits up Vegas Vickie.
Circa is the tallest structure downtown (if you don’t count Strat), so the view is guaranteed to be spectacular.
We’re thrilled about the promising collection of bars and lounges at Circa.
They even threw in a bonus beverage offering, Jack Pots, a coffee shop. This coffee stand comes from one of our favorite new Circa partners, the “sandwich legend” behind Michigan’s Zingerman’s Deli, Paul Saginaw.
Saginaw will also oversee Circa’s Saginaw’s Delicatessen, a 24-hour cafe. Expect the cafe to serve a shrimp cocktail using the same sauce recipe that made Golden Gate a thing.
Sorry, Jack Pots, this blog has never had coffee. All due respect.
Read all about the Circa restaurants.
It’s an entirely surreal time to be opening a Las Vegas resort, but Circa’s line-up of bars has given us something to look forward to, and just three months away!
We can’t wait to test drive all these Circa bars on your behalf. We’re selfless like that.
Share some Vegas.

Challenges abound, with individuals and businesses facing unprecedented uncertainty.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the bad news, so we’ve put together a short list of happy Las Vegas thoughts. Sort of just random crap we’ve noticed that makes us smile and forget about all the WTF, even if momentarily.
Somebody has to do it.
This Wynn Plaza artwork cost $3 million, so you know the artist is happy.
Vegas, after all, wasn’t built on concerns and dwelling upon bad news. It was built on hope and escape and possibly tassels.
Think of these observations as tassels on the burlesque dancer of life. Or something.
1. Free Parking is Awesome
We whined about paid parking for years, along with everyone else. Now, parking is free at most Las Vegas casinos, and it’s glorious. We gamble and drink longer, and our first and last interaction with casinos isn’t annoying! Let’s keep parking free, already.
Twenty years a Binion’s fan and we’ve never seen zero customers. No waiting!
3. Marketers Are Flexing Their Creativity
Las Vegas marketers have the easiest job in the world. We should know, we were one. But everyone needs a challenge to grow and improve at their craft. Marketers are up against something they’ve rarely had to overcome, soft demand. Some are winning, hard.
Commerce finds a way.
4. There’s a Lot You Haven’t Done Yet
At one time, it seemed there was something new every day in Vegas. A new show, a new restaurant or bar, a new attraction. The good news is there’s a lot that’s new, and there’s a lot to discover during your next visit. Visit our blog often and listen to our podcast to learn about all the new Las Vegas things to do, taste and indulge in.
There’s a martini bar at I Love Sugar at Linq promenade. Add it to your to-do list.
5. Wow, We’ve Got Bigass Video Screens
Video screens make us happy, and Vegas is bulging with massive screens, with more on the way. Resort World recently showed off its tower-tall screen, and we’re always mesmerized by the sweet screen at TI (pictured). Circa is going to corner the market on the number and mega of its screens, and from what we can see, Venetian is getting a beauty out front. Las Vegas is going to need to invest in a universal remote.
They made you look. Mission accomplished.
6. Vegas is Still Full of Amusing Surprises
We are what we dwell upon, and we like to dwell upon laughter. There’s amusement to be found at every turn in Las Vegas. You just have to keep your eyes peeled. Which is a very strange saying if you think about it, peeled eyeballwise.
We don’t make up the news, we just report it.

Typically loud parts of Vegas are incredibly quiet right now. The restaurant experience is incredible (restaurants have to limit capacity to 50%). Is this great for businesses? No. But we’re in glass half full mode right now, and we’re loving it. No onstage entertainment is keeping the noise level lower, and even the infamously boisterous Hogs & Heifers is on a break.
All due respect, but Las Vegas is actually better with a few less megaphones.
8. Casino Employees Are Taking It All in Stride
Casino staffers have been hit with a number of new chores and protocols, including wearing masks, but they are handling it with grace. 免费ssr节点2021, and everyone’s making the best of an irksome situation. There’s a reason Vegas is known for its service, it’s the extraordinary people who serve our drinks, pay our jackpots, clean our hotel rooms and park our cars. Tip generously, they need it more than ever.
Deliverers of happy.
9. Vegas Still Wins at Everything
Vegas continues to be a place where wonderful things happen. Even as casinos are tightening their belts, they’re still creating experiences you won’t find anywhere else, and tapping into the incomparable history and culture of Las Vegas. For example, Flamingo recently opened Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse, a new restaurant replete with more flamingos than we could count. Guests enter through a bakery facade and walk into a gorgeous, welcoming space. It’s a little bit history, and little bit romance, a whole lot of Vegas being Vegas. Guests can’t take full advantage of the bars right now, but they will, and this new joint has the potential to be on everyone’s must-do list.
Fun fact: Flamingos are naturally white or gray. They’re pink because of their food.
10. There’s Always a Bright Side
Slot players have a few things in common. They have short memories and lots of optimism. When you gamble, you have to hope for the best, every time. To us, the cherry symbolizes the fact there’s always a bright side, even during a losing streak. Cherries aren’t the most valuable symbol, but they’re something. They’re like an old friend who’s there to offer support, even when the going gets rough. Cherries mean it ain’t over ’til it’s over. It’s something, and in times of adversity, something’s better than nothing.
Don’t hate on the cherry. Sometimes, they’re our last, best hope.
It can be challenging to stay in a positive mindset right now, but there’s a lot to be happy about, whether you’re in Las Vegas or not.
You can train yourself to see the bright side of everything. Experts say you can even re-wire your brain. Being positive is healthier and makes you more productive, and positive people have more successful relationships and make more money. No, really.
In case we haven’t said it often enough, we share news on our site, but we also share rumors, speculation, opinions and industry chatter.
We clearly state when rumors are rumors. Rumors don’t always turn out to be true. Often they do. If this one turns out to be true, we trust Sahara will retract its denial and send us an edible bouquet.
Here’s another photo of Sahara’s casino.
We retract our former photo caption where we noted how empty Sahara is.
For posterity, here’s Sahara’s denial of the closure rumor. via its Twitter account.
Trust us, this isn’t the first time we’ve disappointed someone.
It’s never our intention to knowingly share false information, and Sahara is adamant this rumor has no validity. Which would mean we just made the whole thing up, for no reason and based upon no information whatsoever. That’d be weird, but let’s go with it.
We definitely apologize if this rumor caused employees any unnecessary concern. Trust us, they hear rumors long before we do.
Unrelated: Dibs on Meritless Claims as a band name.
Update (8/2/20): As some are new to our blog and Twitter feed, we thought it would be enlightening to get some history related to rumors about SLS and Sahara. This history doesn’t necessarily prove anything about the current rumor or denial, but it may provide some context for those unfamiliar with what we do. (We share industry chatter our readers and fans/followers find of interest.) Here are some rumors we’ve shared, often long before they were officially confirmed.
6/23/15 rumor: Life Nightclub closing at SLS. This rumor was confirmed 11/11/15.
5/23/17 rumor: SLS sold to Alex Meruelo. This rumor was confirmed later on the same day, 5/23/17.
6/16/17 rumor: Umami Burger, Katsuya, 800 Degrees pizza to close at SLS. This rumor was confirmed 7/20/19.
5/13/19 rumor: “Magic Mike” is moving to SLS/Sahara. This rumor was confirmed 9/26/19.
6/4/19: SLS to be rebranded Sahara. This rumor was confirmed 6/27/19.
8/5/19: New nightlife venue at Sahara will be Club 101. This rumor was confirmed 8/25/19.
8/9/19: Cleo restaurant closing at SLS/Sahara. This rumor was sadly confirmed 8/23/19.
9/27/19: “Blanc de Blanc” at Sahara in trouble, likely to close. This rumor was confirmed 11/26/19 when the show closed.
We look forward to providing further updates about this whole drama. We anxiously await stories by Las Vegas media that are anything beyond just copying and pasting Sahara’s statement. Maybe stories that ask questions about why such a rumor would have surfaced, or if there’s any unusual activity at the casino which would give credence to the rumor? Maybe a story, any story, that asks any questions at all, rather than simply regurgitating the statement of a company with a history of questionable accounts payable, H.R. and P.R. practices.
This isn’t our first dance with Sahara and it won’t be the last.
Update (8/3/20): We’ve been told Sahara has pulled the plug on discounts and incentive programs for its big players. So, there’s that.
The word root “ces” comes from the Latin meaning concede, yield or submit.
CES will move to a virtual format in 2021, and officials say the face-to-face gadget fest will be back in Vegas in 2022.
In case you don’t have a calendar handy, 2022 feels like a long, long way away.
Even when CES returns, it’s unlikely to look like the CES of years past.
Back in June 2020, we snagged details about a survey CES sent to its attendee database.
The survey floated the possibility of banning handshakes exchanging business cards.
Ultimately, CES decided to pull the plug on its annual gathering.
On the heels of the CES news, we’ve heard from friends at Caesars Entertainment that the entire marketing department of the new Caesars Forum conference center has been let go. The timing wasn’t coincidental.
Vegas doesn’t really work without conventions and expense accounts.

On the bright side, during CES, Las Vegas room rates are typically sky high. There will be deals galore now. So, there’s that.

Cromwell Targets October for Reopening
14 Replies
While most of Caesars Entertainment’s resorts in Las Vegas have reopened, Cromwell has remained a mystery.
免费翻墙工具及节点 (@ssr_cn) - Post #867 - Post statistics.:①ssr和ss节点,苹果手机下载potatso,lite小火箭,Wingy,icetea;安卓手机下载ssrr影梭,ShadowsocksRR大杀器后,在相应地方粘贴节点链接 ②Vmess节点,ios用kitsunebi,shadowrocket
Formerly, Barbary Coast. Never forget.
According to our sources, all Cromwell reservations prior to Oct. 3 will be shuffled to Caesars Palace, just across the street.
The news is interesting given rumors Cromwell is one of the Las Vegas casinos up for sale by new Caesars Entertainment as part of its merger with Eldorado Resorts.
The internal communication also included references to Planet Hollywood, Rio and Linq (currently, its casino is open but the hotel is closed). The memo suggested working dates for these casinos at August 5, 2020, but those dates appear highly unlikely to stick at this point.
On the bright side, Caesars Entertainment did manage to open Bally’s Las Vegas on July 23. Soft demand, especially midweek, made that scenario a risky move, but the classic resort opened, anyway.
We kid because we love. Not you, Grand Bazaar Shops. We love Bally’s.
As with all casino reopening information, there are caveats galore with the Cromwell news.
The landscape continues to shift in Las Vegas due to the COVID-19 crisis, but we’ll take all the good news we can get.
Cromwell is a player-friendly destination, and Vegas isn’t quite the same without all the WTF of Drai’s nightclub and Giada’s popular restaurant, among other offerings.
Cromwell will reportedly be the site for season two of “Love Island,” whatever that might actually be. Pre-production has presumably already started at Cromwell.
Facts.
Thanks to our tipsters, without whom we would just be writing 69 jokes all day, and nobody wants that.
Share some Vegas.
