Vegas Strip Resort Attractions, Part IV: Remember the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace? How about the Grand Prix?

Las Vegas Resort Historic Attractions Revisited, Part III: Caesars Magical Empire

Vegas Resort Attractions, the Bygone Years, Revisited: Caesars’ Omnimax; The Forum Shops; and more!

Last June we promised a concluding fourth installment to our history of Caesars Palace’s resort attractions -- itself a mini-series within an epic 11-part history of original Strip attractions. Finally, in honor of Caesars' 50th birthday this year, here it is -- enjoy!

While in Las Vegas last week, we learned that Boyd Gaming bought the Cannery and Easteide Cannery, and the Station Casinos bought the Palms. Since MGM owns much of the Strip, which casinos remain independent still?

I just read that all the McDonald’s at all MGM properties are closing this week. A quick check of a few of MGM's websites show no trace of a McDonald’s. Is this true? Was MGM the franchisee or was it a third party?

After reading your answer concerning ride sharing versus taxicabs, I wondered what was being done about the taxi cab drivers overcharging the paying public by $47 million?

We pick up where we left off yesterday, with a foray into the implications, for employees and the workplace, of the legalization in Nevada of medicinal- and, perhaps soon, recreational-marijuana use.

How does medical marijuana affect drug tests for employment and health cards and the like, and what about if recreational marijuana becomes a reality in Nevada, since evidence of usage stays in the bloodstream longer than alcohol?

Was interested to read your recent answer about the color-changing technology at the High Roller and it made me curious to know more! Could you share some additional facts and stats about the ride and its construction?
