The town needs to mix it up. What about some backgammon? **** I dunno I am just spitballing. The pool and club scene was a great addition to keep Vegas vibrant over the past 10 or so years.
Any new event or new activity is a plus for LV.
Adding the Raiders and that NHL team with the less-catchy name will help the Las Vegas brand for entertainment.
Recreational marijuana is a new added amenity, one which the State is considering allowing for casino properties.
I agree that the casino floors are largely stagnant, switching from one themed slot machine to adding another themed slot machine is something driven by machine manufacturers who are looking to stay relevant but have little to offer as entertainment moves to a mobile, community environment and away from centralized locations, like a casino floor for example.
The MGM campaign to sell entertainment as the brand is a step forward.
(Some past classic missteps included the WWE-themed casino, the monorail which does not reach the airport, and I expect the idea that people really want to ride a ferris wheel for >30 minutes because they can get alcohol and not much else...
