🍸 The “Amuse Booze” trend hits Vegas
April 25, 2024
🥨 Come see me stretch the definition of “celebrity” by participating in a pretzel-eating contest tomorrow night at Hofbrauhaus. The winner gets a thousand bucks for charity and I’ll be competing for Forgotten Dogs Animal Rescue 🐶
What's CITY Talking About?
💥 Tropicana Demolition Approved
Clark County officially approved the demolition of the Tropicana, giving owner Bally’s Corp. until October 20 to make the old casino disappear — hopefully with a gaudy old-school Vegas implosion 😁 [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- The closing of the Tropicana gave us a lot to talk about. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
💰 Are You Middle Class in Las Vegas?
With stagnant wages and ongoing inflation, it’s hard to know where we all stand these days 🤔 According to a new study, household income between $48,000 and $144,000 is required to be considered middle class in Nevada. The range is actually a tad lower ($45,932-$137,810) for Las Vegas. [Nexstar]
👏 Fewer Californians Coming to Vegas
The number of Californians moving to Las Vegas has dropped the past couple years 🥳 The leading explanation: People itching to leave the Golden State are holding off on planned moves while interest rates are high, but will resume their Vegas invasion once mortgages become more affordable. [KVVU]
🐢 Hello Max!
Mojave Max emerged from his underground Springs Preserve burrow at 3:09 p.m. on Tuesday, signaling the start of a late spring in Las Vegas. So go ahead and book that poolside cabana and max out the credit card on bottle service 🥂 [KTNV]
