What's CITY Talking About?
🏨 New Era Awaits for Vegas Hotels
Between the April closure of the Tropicana and the Mirage shutting its doors later this month, there are a lot fewer hotel rooms — 4,511 to be exact — to meet demand. That means remaining hotel rates could skyrocket along with stock prices for companies like Caesars, MGM, and Wynn doing business on the Strip. [Casino.org]
💰 Investment Offered for New Startup Ideas
Have a killer idea for a tech startup, but don’t have the capital to make it happen? Scared to Scale is a program that hosts regular networking and pitch events where entrepreneurs can share ideas and possibly earn an investment of up to $10,000 for a new business venture. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🐕 Free Microchipping For Pets
The City of Las Vegas is requiring pets to be microchipped by August 1. With that in mind, the Nevada SPCA is offering free microchipping on a first come, first serve basis throughout July with a limit of three pets per household. [KVVU]
