In the latest Las Vegas Advisor update, Anthony and Andrew dive into the ongoing “Vegas slowdown” — with visitor numbers dropping for six straight months — fueled by high prices on the Strip and broader economic uncertainty. They cover major casino and venue closures, from Poker Palace in North Las Vegas to Buffalo Bill’s in Primm, as well as the cancellation of the planned Tilman Fertitta mega resort. But it’s not all bad news: some properties are responding with better deals, like the Sahara dropping resort fees, and downtown remains a value-hunter’s haven.
The episode also spotlights exciting new openings, including Boomers, an independent sportsbook at Ellis Island offering unique betting lines and a welcome bonus, plus the relocation plans for the lively Hogs & Heifers Saloon. On the gaming front, poker legend Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi made history by winning his fourth Poker Players Championship and the WSOP Main Event, taking home $10 million. Football season contests are heating up, with Circa and Westgate introducing big-money tournaments — and the Las Vegas Advisor sharing ways to save on proxy services for out-of-state players.
Dining deals take center stage too, with the Palms’ lobster buffet scoring rave reviews (and a clever lobster-cracking tool hack) for incredible value using LVA coupons. Rampart Casino is launching a Neighborhood Food Hall, and Vegas pizza spots Pizza Rock and D’Oro Pizzeria Pub have landed in Italy’s “Top 50” list for the U.S. With closures, openings, championship wins, and food finds, the Las Vegas Advisor keeps value-seekers and Vegas lovers in the know.
