The law of unintended consequences is in full effect at Ellis Island Casino & Hotel, formerly the Ellis Island Casino, Hotel & Brewery. The off-Strip casino recently demolished its brewery building. Ellis Island closed its on-site brewery in 2022. The demolition has improved the flow of positive chi at the casino, resulting in a huge windfall for gamblers. We are not a high roller, but everyone feels like one at Ellis Island. We first caught wind of Ellis Island’s demolition plans on March 4, 2024. Preparations were being made to bring down the structure that sits on the west side of t ..read more

Granted, that headline makes this story sound like a much bigger deal than it is. Do you know the Internet at all? It’s true. For more than a year, we’ve been trying to find the source of a strange sound in casinos. A whistle. It’s possible we are the only person excited to have unraveled this enigma wrapped in a curiosity hidden behind a cloak of WTF, but, trust us, this isn’t the first time we’ve done something to satisfy ourself, so let’s dive in! Granted, we probably need an A.I. intervention. You’re not our mom! Unless you actually are our mom. Hey, Mom! Sorry we don’t call more. Photo ca ..read more

When Fontainebleau opened on Dec. 13, 2023, the casino teased players with loyalty club tier matching, but quickly stopped the program. Fontainebleau has reversed course again and is offering guests the chance to level up with its “Elevate Your Tier” promotion, through June 2, 2024. We told you tier matching would be back. You don’t listen. We are happy to be able to share a story about Fontainebleau that doesn’t feature something bursting into flames. In case you’re not familiar with tier matching, players will receive a free tier status upgrade at Fontainebleau by presenting a valid loyalty ..read more

Suncoast may not be a regular spot for Las Vegas visitors, but locals like it, and the casino is making some moves. Suncoast is about 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip and is owned by Boyd Gaming, the company that also runs Aliante, Orleans, Gold Coast, Sam’s Town, The Cal, Main Street and others. Boyd has big hopes for Suncoast, and is investing in the casino with the not-so-secret goal of stealing customers from another locals-focused company, Station Casinos. Here’s a look at the new William B’s Steakhouse, along with some other Suncoast scoop. William B’s speaks our love language: Car ..read more

Venetian’s Grazie Rewards will get a rebrand in March 2024 to Venetian Rewards. According to Venetian, “The new program will have more tangible benefits, more transparent earning and more ways to earn Rewards Points.” Some of our favorite earnings are the transparent ones. All the beauty of Venice without all the smells. If you’re familiar with the process of rebranding and revamping loyalty clubs, it will come as no surprise such changes are never, ever good for players. We have, however, decided to be more upbeat and positive in 2024, so we’re going to put a muzzle on the reality checks and ..read more

Fontainebleau has released details about its loyalty club program, Fontainebleau Rewards. The new Las Vegas resort opens Dec. 13, 2023 at 11:45 p.m. Don’t ask. Here’s everything you need to know about Fontainebleau Rewards, including “Bleau Points,” a name which is both glorious and awkward, just the way we like our Las Vegas. Fontainebleau is pronounced “fountain-blue,” so stop your infantile tittering. Infantile Tittering was the name of our band in high school. Fontainebleau Rewards is described as a “tiered, inclusive loyalty program,” which is utterly adorable, as long as you don’t unders ..read more

Luck is a wondrous thing. One day, it gives you a handy on the High Roller Ferris wheel, the next a swift kick to the meat clackers. Our spirit animals at Casino.org decided to figure out which Las Vegas casino visitors consider luckiest based upon Tripadvisor reviews, and Mirage came out on top. Which is another thing that sometimes happens on the High Roller, by the way. Let do a shallow dive into why Mirage won, Resorts World tanked and some of our favorite casinos weren’t in the running. Soon to be the “former Mirage.” We should say we tend to be skeptical about such “studies,” all due res ..read more

The much-anticipated locals casino, Durango Resort, has pushed back its opening date from Nov. 20 to Dec. 5, 2023. Station Casinos, owner of Durango, say it’s to “ensure a first-class opening of the property.” Which we take to mean there will be more leg room, free Champagne and lie-flat beds. As the British poet you never knew existed said, “All things come to those who wait.” She definitely never played Megabucks. Durango Casino will be about 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip, and if you’re a typical Las Vegas visitor, you’ll never go there, but locals are champing at the bit to check i ..read more

The Holy Grail of slot jackpots, Megabucks, has hit yet again, this time for $12.2 million. The latest jackpot hit at Excalibur on the Las Vegas Strip. The lucky bastard who won the $12 million was playing a Megabucks Triple Red Hot 7s Multipliers slot. If you are experiencing an erection, don’t be alarmed. If you are a woman, seek medical assistance. Inside baseball: The biggest clue to knowing when Megabucks hits is seeing the progressive reset to $10 million. The win at Excalibur actually happened back in October, but the slot maker, IGT, just got around to making it official-official. Meg ..read more
