Just opened in late July, Exxcite: The Show is a late-night burlesque-style revue that features six female dancers and a singer. It’s produced and choreographed by Jennifer Romas, well known in Vegas for her topless show Sexxy, which played for years at the Westgate Cabaret, then for a while as Sexxy After Dark at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. This new show is staged in the 300-seat Duomo Theater at the Rio.

La Popular is a one brand from Grupo Carolo, among Mexico’s most recognized and extensive restaurant groups. The original restaurant is a favorite in Mexico City; the first U.S. venue opened in Roseville, California, in 2022. Since then, two more have opened in California, one in Austin, Texas, and most recently at the Palms.
Spiegelworld is a good name for the Las Vegas-based live-entertainment production company: It’s definitely a world unto itself.
Producers of Absinthe at Caesars Palace, OPM at the Cosmopolitan, and Atomic Saloon Show at Palazzo, Spiegelworld also owns the entire town Nipton, California, 60 miles from Vegas, which it’s in the process of turning into a “circus settlement.” In addition, Spiegelworld operates Superfrico, the “psychedelic Italian” restaurant at Cosmo, and recently-ish opened No Pants at Caesars Palace.
Continue reading No Pants by — Who Else? — SpiegelworldWe arrived on a Friday night right at 6 p.m., thinking we might have to wait in line for 20 to 30 minutes to get into the only downtown buffet, which serves dinner Fri. and Sat. nights only. Au contraire! We didn’t have to wait even 20 seconds. We just walked right up to the cashier, paid, and had plate in hand within a minute.

Despite only grossing $7.5 million last month, Horseshoe Lake Charles was the difference between an unadjusted, 6% decline in gambling revenue for Louisiana and a same-store, 10% declivity (lagging prosperous 2019 by 4%). Even so, the country’s most adverse casino state was led by L’Auberge du Lac ($27 million, -13%), enjoying a temporary edge on Golden Nugget ($26 million, -18%), although Horseshoe is taking a big chomp out of both their backsides. Delta Downs didn’t get through unscathed, either, down 12% to $14 million. The reinvention of Harrah’s New Orleans into a Caesars continues slowly, very slowly, with the casino raking in $17.5 million in July, a 23% plunge. Nobody else seems to have picked up significant business, given that Treasure Chest was off 14% to $7 million and Boomtown New Orleans faded 13% to $9 million. Fair Grounds racino grossed $3 million (-14.5%), Amelia Belle did the same (-12.5%), whilst Evangeline Downs actually went 4% higher to $6.5 million. It’s good to see somebody improving in the Bayou State.

Continue reading Podcast – Bob Nersesian episode #6I recently posted a few blogs concerning some fine points for the strategy of 9-5 Triple Bonus Poker Plus. They discussed somewhat complicated decisions with relatively small financial impacts. After the second blog came out, a reader posted the following:
Since taking over Venelazzo, new owner Apollo Management has been behaving itself, with none of the shenanigans that characterized its ill-fated co-ownership of Caesars Entertainment. That, however, does not mean that Apollo has learned to straighten up and fly right. Thanks to a sweetheart deal carved out with the Donald Trump administration, Apollo is reaping megabucks even as it drives the Yellow trucking firm into bankruptcy, costing workers thousands of jobs. In 2020, Yellow received $700 million in government-funded largesse, in agreement structured in such a way that Apollo stood in senior position for bankruptcy repayment ahead of Uncle Sam. Apollo is throwing the scapegoated Teamsters Union under the bus for the bankruptcy, while also potentially leaving such clients as Home Depot, Walmart and a little boutique known as the Department of Defense high and dry.
