Sumacorp put together an incredible AI recreation showing 60 years of Caesars Palace in 100 seconds, and watching it come together explains exactly why the property is such a maze today. Clark County is escalating its fight with vacation rentals, now threatening to fine Airbnb directly for listing unlicensed properties, with penalties at $500 for the first and $1,000 for each additional across roughly 16,000 rentals in the valley. The Review-Journal reported on bedbugs at six Strip hotels over the last few years, which is honestly far fewer than we expected given how many rooms are here, and we get into the dogs and prevention that keep it contained. GLPI’s earnings call revealed Bally’s is getting closer to a plan for the ballpark’s critical infrastructure, though they are not committing beyond the $125 million already on the table. We also cover the Vinyl Room opening August 8th in the old Foundation Room space with membership tiers from $2,500 to $15,000, a look inside the MGM Mansion casino bathroom that underwhelmed us, and Corey Levitan definitively debunking whether you can fry an egg on a Vegas sidewalk. Let us know in the comments whether you are an Airbnb person or a hotel person in Vegas.
