Cirque du Soleil is the big name in acrobatics shows but by no means the only choice.  We like "Love" the most, because the music is songs we all know, and who doesn't love the Beatles?

Las Vegas does not have to be expensive. I know of a lot of ways to save money and still see shows, have reduced price dinners, and get around without Uber. But, I have been around the strip for at least 50 years, I know all the tricks. But, time marches on. There may be some new stuff I do not know about. Let me, and the world know, where the bargains are. From cheap souvenirs to affordable eats, we want to know it all.

One is on the strip, the other is off the strip. On the strip, and getting ready to open is the gigantic Fontainebleau. I mean it, 68 floors and 3,600 rooms. It is at the 2700 block of Las Vegas Blvd. S. It has not opened yet. We tried to visit a couple of days ago (8/25/2023) , but could not get in. The second property is the Durango Hotel/Casino, conveniently located at the off ramp of the SR-215 and Durango Blvd. It is part of the Station Casinos portfolio of properties. It is designed for locals mostly. But since it is brand new from the ground up, it may be wort taking a look. About ten miles north of center strip. Perhaps a couple more, but not very far. We have not yet visited as of this date (8/25/2023). The opening date has not been announced. Las Vegas changes constantly, properties get blown up/torn down/bulldozed. The same Station Casinos business recently bulldozed three of its casinos and sold off the land. They were: Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Ranch, Texas Station. They were my favorites. We always try to help local artists.and donate this expensive space. We have three books that are very entertaining. They are: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis, and The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. They are Available on Amazon.

Here is a list of casinos that are not directly on the strip, but well worth you attention. They are the smaller properties that cater mainly to the local crowd. When we say small, it does not really mean small. It means they are small compared to the gigantic places that are along the strip. Some of the off-strip hotels sport hundred of rooms, large gambling areas and an assortment of dining options. Check out the list, even if it is for fun only. Here goes, not by size or alphabet, just randomly.: The Palms, 4321 W. Flamingo, The Plaza, One Main Street, down town Las Vegas It anchors Fremont St. , The Aliante, 7300 Aliante Parkway. Quite a few miles from the strip, a gorgeous property. Ellis Island, a couple of blocks east of the strip, well known for its brewery and very affordable meals, Rampart Hotel/Casino, a few miles west of the strip in an upscale part of town. A pretty large place with tons of free parking and lots of amenities, The Orleans features New Orleans ambience, 4500 West Tropicana, Sunset Station, on Sunset Road/Stephanie. Part of the Station Casinos Group. Good food at reasonable prices, Durango, at the Durango off ramp of the 215, about 15 miles east of the strip. This one is brand new, opened in 2023. Another Station Casinos property.  Barley's, small place on Sunset Rd. Silverton, pretty large hotel with lots of free parking covered or parking lot. Take the Blue Diamond off-ramp when traveling west on the I -15. We do everything possible to support our local artists. This post is free of charge. We recommend the following books: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis, The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. Buy them on Amazon and help our artists. We thank you.

Poker is really popular in Las Vegas. There are many different varieties of poker played all across the U.S. There is pineapple, or stud, and several others, perhaps six or seven different. In Las Vegas only two varieties are dealt as far as we know. We have Texas Hold 'Em, and Seven Card Stud. There are huge differences between poker rooms. Different types of players, different amenities, different comps. Which is your favorite poker room? Let us know.
