This is news? Of course passenger counts are down compared to last year before the pandemic. Year over year numbers have been significantly down for the past year now (March 1 is when the numbers started to plummet last year).

This guy puts together a really informative spreadsheet that compares last years numbers to this years LINK. You can see here that numbers are starting to rebound from the lows we saw last spring and summer.

I was just in Vegas Sunday evening to Thursday evening. The airport was a ghost town.

As a CDN I miss my Vegas Trips and they just keep e-mailing me deals those bastards . I am hoping maybe in September but realistically not seeing a trip there this year. 1 year anniversary of the border being closed coming up soon

Virgin(Old Hard Rock) opens March 25th. No Resort fee and Free parking and WIFI

Article didn't say but it sounds like it could be a homeless person. I have seen them get semi violent when people ignore them asking for money.



"A man is dead after being punched early Sunday morning on the Las Vegas Strip.

It happened near Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard around 4:30 a.m.

Police say a man was walking across a pedestrian bridge with a woman when the suspect, identified as 33-year-old Brandon Leath, began shouting and following them.

Investigators say Leath saw the couple going down the escalator, ran down the opposite side and waited for them at the bottom.

Leath and the victim got into a verbal argument and then Leath punched him. The victim was transported to Sunrise Hospital and pronounced dead.

LVMPD says officers monitoring real-time crime cameras observed the incident. Leath left the area, but was taken into custody a short time later."

News confirmed it was a homeless man and he punched someone else in the past.

No Resort Fees plus free wifi? Definitely a nice change from the status quo here.

I see the Casino is operated by Mohegan Sun, so I wonder if they're planning on having a poker room, either at opening or somewhere down the road.

I don't remember any news of a poker room. They will have Betfred running there sportsbook that will open this Summer.

And yes Free WIFI also.

The guy the homeless guy punched and killed was a retired State Trooper.

sickening... family is devastated.

Sad, just really sad.

Apparently a Murder suicide at Wynn parking garage. Wynn employee shot guard and then killed himself.



"Homicide Detective Ray Spencer said an employee who had not shown up to work for two days. On the third day, the employees arrived, prompting a welfare check by resort security.

The security guard approached the suspect to the side of the vehicle where he was shot."

"Police said the suspect then shot himself and was pronounced deceased at the scene."

Wow wtf... is this due to the state of economic downturn or what?

Wow, because he missed the last 2 days of work without calling in, they knew to be suspicious when they saw he entered the employee garage with his key card and sent security to check it out.

If not for that, who knows what the guy had planned.

Almost certainly going to be a romantic relationship gone bad somehow.

Sound like a winner, I just heard on the news that he was targeting a female employee at work. I haven't seen an article about it yet.

Apparently Wynn is finally giving armed officers body armor after they have been asking for it for years.

If I were an armed security officer, I'd buy my own armor if it wasn't provided. Bally's Security has had pistol-rated armor for many years. After the Mandalay shooter, some of them got rifle-rated armor.

Apparently an environmental group a submitted a proposal to get seawater to the Salton Sea, and California bureaucrats sat on it for a year before rejecting it last week. Go figure.
