  1. Sweet 16 in Vegas. UCONN had to ditch their rooms at Luxor and switch to another spot due to room conditions
  2. LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — It was announced Tuesday morning at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority board meeting that repaving of the roads to be used for the November F1 race will start at the beginning of April. According to F1 Las Vegas, the initial round resurfacing of the roads will be divided into six parts. 8 News Now learned only one lane will be closed at a time for repaving, and medians will be removed along Koval Lane, Harmon and Sands avenues. The first will be Sands between the MSG Sphere and the Las Vegas Strip. It will be repaved from April 2 through April 7. Repaving then moves on to the Las Vegas Strip between Sands and Harmon. This will take place from May 9 through May 19. Repaving continues from May 22 to May 26 along Harmon from the Strip to Koval. Next up will be the straight on Koval from the paddock area to the corner that turns east toward the MSG Sphere. This is scheduled to take place from June 11 through June 16. Repaving then begins in the paddock area, which is also the start/finish area. This is not on a public street so it should have minimal impact on traffic. It will happen from June 19 to June 30. Finally, the last area to be repaved will be the turns around the MSG Sphere. It will be paved from Aug. 21 to Aug. 25. First Round of Track Paving Sands Ave — April 2nd – 7th Las Vegas Strip — May 9th – 19th Harmon Ave — May 22nd – 26th Koval Lane — June 11th – 16th Paddock area — June 19th – 30th MSG Sphere corners — Aug. 21st – 25th F1 Las Vegas also said in the board meeting it hopes the construction of the paddock area should be complete by the end of September. A final round of paving will also happen closer to the race (dates below) when crews will lay down 2 inches of dense asphalt that will be the actual track surface. Second Round of Track Paving Sands Ave — July 16th – 21st Las Vegas Strip — July 23rd – 28th Harmon Ave — July 30th – Aug. 4th Koval Lane — Aug. 13th – 18th Paddock area — Aug. 6th – 11th MSG Sphere corners — Sept. 10th – 15th https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/f1-las-vegas-grand-prix-track-repaving-dates-announced/
  3. Did you know that Kenny Loggins is still kicking around
  4. Stanton Social Prime will soon open its doors at Caesars Palace. Tao Group Hospitality and Chef Chris Santos continue to redefine the dining scene as Stanton Social Prime officially debuts on Tuesday, March 21. Reservations for the restaurant and lounge may be booked online. Stanton Social Prime brings Chef Santos’ signature sharable dishes to the center-Strip resort, with the return of the Famous French Onion Soup Dumplings topped with Gruyère cheese and garlic croutons, as well as Pierogies made with potato, goat cheese and truffle. New creations include the Smoked Butter Board with Thumbelina crudités, Maldon sea salt flakes and sourdough demi baguette and the ‘Al Pastor’ Yellowtail Crudo, which features grilled pineapple, cilantro, lime and pineapple ponzu. “We have carefully curated dynamic offerings to bring an exciting, new energy to Caesars Palace," said Terrence O’Donnell, Vice President and Assistant General Manager of Caesars Palace. “The addition of Stanton Social Prime gives our guests an incredible dining experience while perfectly complementing the recent changes at the resort." Stanton Social Prime’s steaks are a highlight of the menu, seasoned with house dry rub, rested in a bath of Beurre de Baratte, finished with pink Himalayan salt and served with roasted black garlic. The restaurant offers a large selection of prime dry-aged steaks for the table, including ‘Pretty in Pink,’ a 10-ounce filet with pink peppercorn sauce, pink oyster mushrooms, and decadent sides such as the Dirty Tots with caviar and lobster crème fraîche. Guests can choose from a selection of sauces in vintage perfume bottles to drizzle onto their steaks, like the Eau de Poivre and Chanterelle No. 5. True to the showmanship of Las Vegas, Stanton Social Prime also features theatrical tableside presentations, delectable desserts and charming craft cocktails. Those looking for a unique cocktail served in a bottle can try The Black Regiment, made with Bulleit rye whiskey, Carpano Antica vermouth, Amaro Montenegro liqueur and cinnamon. A signature zero-proof beverage is Strawberry Rhode created with Kin Euphorics High Rhode, strawberry puree, elderflower and lemon juice. “We are thrilled to bring another Tao Group Hospitality concept from Chef Santos to Las Vegas," said Ralph Scamardella, Chief Culinary Officer of Tao Group Hospitality. "The Las Vegas iteration of the Stanton Social in New York City will delight diners with shareable staples complemented by new offerings." Designed by renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, the 200-seat space draws inspiration from the original restaurant on New York’s Lower East Side and the Las Vegas Strip, with a modern nod to Art Deco style and dramatic showmanship. Guests enter Stanton Social Prime through the velvet curtain to the main dining room featuring bold colors of ruby red, sapphire blue and gold with rich textures and patterns found in extravagant costume design. The 10-seat bar spotlights top-shelf spirits and a globe-spanning wine list. Additionally, the two private dining rooms transport guests to their own backstage salon with decorative paneling evocative of a dressing room screen. Adjacent to OMNIA Nightclub, Stanton Social Prime will be open Sunday, Monday and Wednesday from 5 to 10:30 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday from 5 to 11:30 p.m. Guests can visit caesars.com/caesars-palace/restaurants/stanton-social-prime for more information.
  5. Not sure if you are referring to banker Andy Beal, but if you haven’t read this book (link below) it’s pretty awesome. Rich dude from Texas flies to Vegas and plays heads up against the top pros at Bellagio for big money. https://www.amazon.com/Professor-Banker-Suicide-King-Richest/dp/0446694975
  6. I’d say go over to Caesars it’s typically thought of as one of the best these days
  7. Per @LasVegasLocally Mark Wahlberg is filming a movie inside Aria
  8. Restaurant update. Haven’t been there in really long time but it was a good one:
  9. It appears that there are some blackjack changes coming to Mirage, which will eventually be rebranded to Hard Rock. https://vegasadvantage.com/report-blackjack-changes-coming-to-mirage/
  10. I forgot that Wynn recently redid the Bar Parasol so that might be what you are looking for on property for cocktails not at a club. Check that out too.
  11. For your quieter bar preference inside the hotel, I’m not really well versed with those options but if you wanted to check out Resorts World which is an easy walk from Encore they have one of those Speakeasy type “secret” bars that has good cocktails with a decent venue. Link to find it below. Also over at Palazzo (easy walk next to Wynn) there is a new restaurant that has a separate bar/lounge area that makes great cocktails in a quieter environment. Place is called Wakuda. All the restaurants inside Wynn/Encore are solid. For lunch I’d enjoy the Terrace PointeCafe and sit outside if the weather is nice. For quintessential Vegas, walk over to the Peppermill. https://cbonthego.com/how-to-find-the-hidden-speakeasy-bar-at-resorts-world/
  12. For planning purposes: The MSG Sphere at The Venetian is wrapping up construction and should be open in the second half of the year. It’s expected that U2 will be the first resident artist announced for the new $2 billion arena behind The Venetian. https://www.playusa.com/coming-to-las-vegas-in-2023/
  13. Read Surly on my phone, listen to music with headphones, watch and chat about sports with people at the table. But yeah folding a lot sometimes isn’t the most fun.
  14. Should be very busy in Vegas for CES. Restaurants should be crowded. I would make reservations if you can get them.
  15. Didn’t play much in 2022. Might try to get back at it more this year.
  16. I am curious if there might be a distinction between chips ON the rail versus on the felt up against the rail.
  17. Fully loaded Saturn is the best brag attempt since the nurse pay stub. So thanks for that early Christmas gift to us all.
  18. Ask nicely when you check in. Tell them first time to stay at Cosmo, it’s your wife’s birthday, and are there any options available for an awesome Strip view room? Fold up a $20 and set on the counter partially under your hand and say I’d be glad to offer this gratuity if you can find us a nice room. If the hotel isn’t fully booked you have a good chance of that working.
  19. Ballys is now officially Horseshoe Mirage now officially being run by the Hard Rock people
