Care To Share Some Current Las Vegas Rumors?

Scott Roeben of VitalVegas.com seems to relish repeating rumors that he purports to have heard from various sources. Some of them even come true. I've noticed that LVA doesn't trade in rumors, except perhaps to pass one along that's attributed to Scott. But I'm sure you hear plenty of rumors with all the connections you've built up over the decades. Care to share some current ones?

Why not? Here are just a few.

The Golden Steer has decided to go vegan. It will no longer serve steaks -- or any animal products.

Bellagio might change its client base to people living below the poverty level. Only families with incomes of less than $20,000 a year or singles with incomes under $10,000 year will be allowed to stay there. Show your most recent tax return and if your income qualifies, rooms will go $20 (families) and $10 (singles) per night, even on weekends and holidays. (This would happen because MGM Resorts feels guilty about how the less fortunate never get to experience what better-off people do.)

The Wynn is changing the name of its hotel-casino to the Looz.

Related to the Looz, MGM and Caesars casinos will go full European-style soon. Men won't be allowed to gamble unless they're dressed in suits; the same for women and gowns. The minimum for all table games will be $1,000 and for slots $25.

This one is very hush-hush and has been quashed to a large degree, but meteorologists have learned that Earth will begin to experience global chilling next summer. The temperature in Las Vegas will never again rise above 60, not even in July or August.

It could become illegal for visitors on the Strip to walk from one casino to another. Guests staying at hotel-casinos will have to stay put, gambling, eating, and attending shows only in the place where they're staying.

McCarran Airport will no longer allow Uber, Lyft, or shuttles on its premises. All airport travelers will have to go to and from via taxi and passengers must allow the cabbies to take any route they wish.

We believe that this rumor is actually in the works. Caesars Palace has announced that Cher will begin a residency at the Colosseum with a Cher impersonator. The two will perform together and the name of show will be "Cher and Cher Alike."

This one was a rumor, but it has already come to pass: MGM privately realized that it was spelling its name backwards. Over the past several months, it replaced every sign inside and outside the property with signs that are spelled correctly.

(Many thanks to Al On The Net. It's now a tradition for Al to lend a hand with QoDs on this particular day of the year.)

The one I liked

If you bet a certain combination of coins into a slot it will always pay the jackpot.

Golden Steer

This is for all my vegan friends-all four of them...  After years of experimenting I have finally discovered the perfect way to prepare a salad.  First you use a mix of greens, lettuce, spinach, arugula, the more the better.  Then you add carrots, celery, all kinds of vegetables and fruits.  dress it down with a light creamy dressing.  You really need to make this in a washtub; it's so good it won't last long.  Now, when everything is prepared to perfection-feed it to a steer and eat a steak!  Happy April Fools!!

New role for security guards

Anyone exiting a casino will be subjected to being held upside down by their ankles and shaken by security guards to ensure that they have spent or lost all their money before leaving

new hotel

the land on the south Strip near the failed observation wheel will be turned into a Kaiju themed hotel. The gimmick is that all the rooms, restaurants (even the silverware) will be giant-sized in case a Kaiju wishes to stay there. The roulette wheel will be a half mile across with a SUV-sized ball weighing two tons.

Rumour

The carpeting in the Gold Coast Bowling Center contains secret barcodes.

Best April Fool's day hoax

The all-time best April Fools Day QoD was the one from 2017. Actually, it was one of the best all-time April Fool's Day hoaxes by anyone.

https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/question/2017-04-01

IIRC, the QoD may not allow clickable links. The link should have appeared above. If it didn't, try lasvegasadvisor dot com slash 2017-04-01

It was a perfect hoax, because it had me totally fooled right through to the end. It was outlandish but still not beyond the realm of possibility, given the ever-increasing greed of the casino companies.

I first searched for it on 4/1/19 and 4/1/18. I couldn't believe it was four years ago that it had appeared.

ok it's april fools day but..

MGM and Caesars casinos will go full European-style soon. Men won't be allowed to gamble unless they're  dressed in suits; the same for women and gowns. The minimum for all table games will be $1,000 and for slots $25. This is an April Fools joke I agree, but with their corporate greed, it could happen, so don't give them more ideas!!!

AWESOME

Great start of the day!  Especially Cher and Cher Alike!!!!!

old ones

Still laughing!  Thanks!

Some old ones for nostalgia:
 - Machines near the front door pay more often.
 - Casinos pump oxygen in the air which makes people gamble more.
 - Watch while someone plays a machine.  When he leaves that machine it will be ready to pay off so you should jump on it.
 - Fifty dollar bills are unlucky.

You missed a few

All of the machines at the new Pinball Hall of Fame location on the Strip will be "virtual" machines, where the playfield is a large video screen. This will not only cut back on repair time and costs, but prevent all of the fights over who gets to play the one AC/DC machine.

The "secret" pizzeria at the Cosmopolitan will now have signage, and be listed on the site's maps...as Secret Salad.

All slot and video poker machines will be required to show their expected return under the current configuration, either directly on the machine or through a video machine's help screens. (Actually, this was, and probably still is, a requirement...in Melbourne, Australia. Currently, the only requirements in Vegas are, a machine's return must be at least 75%, and if the probability of hitting the jackpot is more than 100 million to 1, the probability must be displayed.)

There will be an RTC bus that stops at The M, but only once a week, and it only goes between The M and Railroad Pass.

@O2bnVegas

Your comment and examples confuse myths, urban legends, or specious theories told by their authors who believe them with April Fool's Day hoaxes where intentional disinformation is published by a prankster as a practical joke as LVA did in today's QoD.

I'm pretty well-connected with the Las Vegas rumor mill. I heard they were planning to:

abolish resort fees, parking fees, franchise/ambience fees, and 6-5 Blackjack throughout Clark County; repaint the outside of the Rio and refurbish the inside; bring back the Rio-Harrah's shuttle; bring back the old comp points schedule at Boyd properties; bring back $5 DD 3-2 Blackjack and full-pay DW Video Poker; bring back WSOP with enough staff to handle it and with reasonable prices; implode FSE and Slotzilla and reopen Fremont Street to vehicles; implode Raiders stadium (now that it's served its purpose) to avoid losing money on it for the next 20 years; turn the Musk tunnel system into a giant linear mushroom farm; revive the monorail and extend to the airport and downtown; solve the Cajon Pass problem and run the bullet train all the way to downtown LA; open Resorts World to usher in a new era of North-Strip prosperity; rebrand Bally's as the New Horseshoe and make it just like the original Horseshoe; and finally, figure out what to do with FontaineDrew....

April Fool!

Steve Wynn - Kirk Kerkorian

One of the best April Fools columns was around 1994 in the Daily Racing Form.  Steve Wynn and Kirk Kerkorian were going to build a mega horse track/casino on the old Dunes property.  I know many horseplayers who were drooling at the thought, until they got to the last line.  I have it buried somewhere in my old papers, but it would be great if somebody found it online.

I gave it the old college try. I Googled this every which way I could think of for 15 minutes. No Joy.
