Vegas billionaire Steve Wynn without a doubt has something new to be anxious about this Christmas time. With an estimated investment of around $2.3 billion, the brand-new hotel and nightclub called Encore will inaugurate in the next few days.

This deluxe casino and hotel is connected to the tremendously fashionable Wynn Las Vegas on the Vegas Strip. As many Las Vegas, Nevada hotel and casino investors are trying to find a direction to keep their hotels open, Wynn is flying high with his $billion Vegas properties.

This 2000 room hotel-casino is an incredible creation. The centerpiece of this hotel and casino will be the nightclub, XS. Steve has taken notice lately that nightclubs are a huge attraction in Sin City, and not primarily the hotels as they used to be. He thinks that Vegas nightclubs frequently make more riches and are a huge hotspot for the young and hip set.

He has also built a posh steakhouse adjacent to the XS nightclub. The idea behind the popular Colombian painter, Fernando Botero this circular steakhouse has a huge Botero carving as the focal point. Eventhough it is not as fantastic as the nightclub which it is connected to; the Botero steakhouse is thought to complement rather well with the flashy LV nightclub.
The thought behind XS and Botero is a sort of St. Tropez atmosphere, where the bash chugs along nonstop and most of the party occurs next to a pool or beach setting. Times have definitely changed in LV, where folks favor partying to gambling these days.

People might feel that a dramatic mixture of Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil would be a match made in heaven, or in in the case of Angel, hell.

If you had the chance to be any one of the numerous supporters who have gone to this brand new Sin City idea, titled Criss Angel BeLIEve at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, then you might possibly have a unique viewpoint about this newest performance. This innovative Las Vegas performance is actually Cirque du Soleil’s sixth show to present on the LV Strip.

The performance starts out somewhat identical to Angel’s habitual magic events, with a tinge of “Cirque”. Then all of a sudden a failed illusion feat carries Criss to a Wizard of Oz-like dreamland. There are dreamlike rabbits hurrying all-around the theater, together with Criss’ everyday tricks and illusions combined with Cirque’s remarkable fascination. The performance culminates with the illusionist in effect splitting himself in half, most likely the best part of this event.

One of the predicaments, that the majority of fans have encountered with the performance, is the point that Angel has lots of spoken parts in the production. Criss Angel’s acting abilities aren’t really his strong suit, and this is not routine in any of Cirque’s other well-liked Las Vegas shows.

Even though all the famous Vegas hotel casinos are doing their best to attract more Vegas visitors this year with discounts and vouchers, their slot machine business is slumping. And while Vegas slot machine business creates about two thirds of the state’s earnings, it’s not such great news for the Sin City hotel casinos.

According to the Gaming Control Board, gamblers are wagering $1.1 billion less in slot machines than last year. Slot machines on The Las Vegas Strip are down half a billion dollars. This signifies a drop of 12% compared to 2007. With drivers paying more than $4 per gallon for gas, gamblers are really having to budget their spending these days. On the other hand with the price of fuel on the decline, these figures could change in the coming months.

Sin City hotel casinos aren’t really concerned about this slump in slot machine proceeds, the latest figures show that table game play is actually increasing. On The Strip the volume for table games is up 5 percent, with baccarat play up 15 percent and blackjack on the rise at 7 percent. Even though this may seem like a good thing, the truth is that Strip casinos took in 21 percent less in July because of some lucky Las Vegas gamblers as well as bettors winning a larger percentage than typical.

The famous saying, “The house always wins”, may have been true in the past. But as these reports tell us, Las Vegas hotel casinos are are finding it more difficult to make a profit than before. This might be a prime time for Sin City gamblers to start using their hotel casino coupons, taking advantage of rebates, and using their frequent flyer miles.
