Lake Mead just hit an all time record low at 1,040.5 feet, breaking the mark set in summer 2022, and it lands right as the federal government cut Nevada’s water allocation by 28 percent while California took only 12 percent, which is a rough reward for a state that recycles almost 100 percent of its water. Zoox got federal approval through 2028 and starts charging for robotaxi rides in Las Vegas next week, though they say pricing will be similar to Uber and taxis, which we think is a mistake if they want people to actually try it. Boring quietly opened a Vegas Loop station at Sahara, making it the second property with both a monorail and Loop station, with rides to the airport running about $14. We also cover Slots of Fun turning 55 with the best carpet in Vegas, Penn’s earnings call comments about not wanting a Strip property saddled with deferred maintenance, Lady Luck’s transparent post showing she is down $430,000 for 2026, a look at Primm’s positive changes under Terrible’s including $20 free play for new signups, another contender for the smallest room downtown at Four Queens, and Tibor’s genuinely incredible tribute site to the old Boardwalk Casino. Let us know in the comments what your favorite Boardwalk memory is.
