Foxwoods Brings Las Vegas Strip, Disney-Style Fun to East Coast (TheStreet)

The destination resort has moved beyond its casino roots to someplace designed to entertain the whole family.

Guyot: We continue to look at opportunities, we just opened the Foxwoods El San Juan at the Fairmont El San Juan in Puerto Rico. That was really the first venture that we've taken to expand the Foxwoods brand. And the only way to do that is to make sure that there's value in your resort and what you're offering. And it's important for us not only to differentiate ourselves from them, but also the other major players that are now in the market. And as I mentioned, with some of the richest rewards programs and reinvestment in the nation. Guyot: The loyalty programs in the northeast, and specifically in Connecticut, are very aggressive and some of the richest programs in the nation. And in a very congested market, we have to continue to evolve, because everyone is trying similar tactics. And so the whole goal is to get that incremental visit. I go to Vegas a lot, because Caesars gives me free rooms, and at the moment, gives you lots of stuff because they're obviously pushing very hard. So it's hard for us to say it's that one thing, like the increase in flight costs that are impacting us, or that increase in flight costs is kind of keeping people more regional. And so when you look at the Las Vegas Strip, you have all of these different casinos that all have different experiences, but then you have one-offs in between -- that aren't necessarily owned by casino operators and that have different amenities. I think at the end of the day, what we believe is that being a regional integrated resort destination, people are going to decide to drive 90 minutes, versus spending $500 on a flight or taking three flights to get somewhere. So we continue to look and review the analytics of where our visitation is coming from, both from a player perspective and a mass market perspective, to try to get as many insights as possible, but it's very difficult.

Las Vegas Valley property crimes rise, including Strip (Las Vegas Review-Journal)

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said police have had success in reducing violent crime in the valley but that the rise in property crime is an ongoing ...

Police, meanwhile, said they are continuing to investigate the thefts at her home, but O’Brien believes police and the criminal justice system need to do more. Drug stores along Las Vegas Boulevard have experienced a 39 percent increase in larcenies, Bitsko said, which police suspect is the result of homeless people living near the stores. He said rising costs of just about everything in society seems to be partially to blame. The highest increase, of 45 percent, is in the convention center area command, which encompasses the Strip. Las Vegas police eventually recovered both trucks, which contained items that seemed to be left behind by the thieves. “It makes me mad because I pay taxes, you know?” O’Brien said.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers continue to get tickets. Good tickets, that is, for good deeds.

There was a blood stain on the floor and bullet hole on a wall. It also joins with the wider community in recognizing the officers. Parker paid for the bedframe. She was in pain, but being on the motorcycle helped ease her discomfort. In April, Officer Jennifer Parker also was recognized for her actions. She pulled a hamstring muscle in the race, KVVU, another local TV station, reported.

Las Vegas Strip Retail/Dining Complex Planned, Replaces Hawaiian... (Casino.Org News)

A Las Vegas Strip retail and dining complex project at the Hawaiian Marketplace has been submitted to Clark County for approval.

While Gindi Capital seeks land-use and construction approvals, the company says demolition of the current structures is imminent. But it appears the owners of this stretch of increasingly valuable real estate are finally making moves to try and turn blight into delight,” saidCasino.org’s Las Vegas insiderScott Roeben. Billionaire Tilman Fertitta, who owns the Golden Nugget downtown, bought 6.2 acres of property next door to the Hawaiian Marketplace in June for $270 million. Gindi’s plans for the Hawaiian Marketplace were in development long before Fertitta expressed interest next door. The retailers at Hawaiian Marketplace shuttered their businesses in early July. Gindi terminated their leases in anticipation of redevelopment. New York-based investment firm Gindi Capital last week submitted plans to the Clark County Commission for a retail, dining, and live entertainment complex.
