Mission (et al), I know that most players don't play table games, but to me, it's the presence of table games that makes a casino, feel like a casino. As one example, the periodic yelling from the craps table makes the casino feel alive. Without that, a slots-only establishment seems pretty dead.

I asked my wife what she thought.
She has all of about 3 hours of experience on casino floors; the tables that interest her are in the restaurant.
She says it's not a casino if it's just slots.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Casino Royale's website is an obvious joke and I'd never trust anything printed there.
It's hard to get anyone on the phone there, but I called and they said no tables with live dealers, and the person I spoke with knew of no plans to bring them back.

I was in the Strip area and had a moment to visit a couple places.
Wild Wild West has no table games currently. (WWW pictured below)
Casino Royale also has no table games currently (as mentioned earlier). While I was there I reenrolled in their loyalty program for the $20 freeplay promo. I think this promo can be done every 12 months after your account is deactivated/expired.
Quick summary of promo run: $20 in @ .50 cent Bonus Poker 7/5. Played 8 hands (ending balance $7.50), card out and card reinserted, made a few selections on screen (w/pin) to activate $20 freeplay, played 8 more hands (ending balance $22.50) = +2.50.

Nah, I was at Casino Royale last week, and there were NO TABLE GAMES. They did have decent Paytables for VIdeo Poker for "The Strip", though. Low overhead, I guess.
- We're talking about the little place on the Strip, right ?
I'm no MD, but I hope that guy on the phone has good insurance, it sounds expensive to have a head removed from an Ass.
- Soopoo, care to weigh in here ?
Peace, out.

The hotel idiot to know about Table Games? No, I don’t think so.
If you were to ask the hotel idiot how many total rooms the hotel has, in my experience, it’s about 25% that he’ll know. More likely he will have to ask his supervisor.
Have to get to the right department when asking casinos about stuff, then you’re at least 50/50 on getting the right answer.
Okay, maybe your probability isn’t quite that high even then.

(1) Should Tuscany (with a hotel, 50k sf gaming space, but no table games) be listed as a casino or not? Why or why not?
Yes, a casino. Significant gaming space with free-standing gambling areas (i.e. not focused on bar-tops). Plus they now have a sports book.
Yes, a casino. I think an essential character of a casino is its pervasive focus on gambling with a variety of gambling options, not necessarily the specific options offered. Yes, I differentiate slots and video poker.Quote:
(2) Should Casino Royale (with a hotel but no table games) be listed as a casino or not? Why or why not?

(4) Should OYO (0.3 miles from the Strip) be listed as a "Strip" casino?
No, that is strip adjacent, but it does not have a strip (Las Vegas Blvd.) address, nor does any part of the property touch LV Blvd.

i was shocked to find out the monorail was a privately owned and not govt (till it's bankrupcy in 2020).Quote: MichaelBluejayI just added the inter-casino trams to my Strip Map.
I'm used to mass transit being city owned. (ie: nyc subway)
it started off as MGM Grand to Ballys in 1995, paid for by the 2 hotels.
then it was extended to Sahara casino in 2002.
I'm assuming Caesars, harrahs, Vegas Hilton (now Westgate) and Sahara kicked in $ to extend it?

The Las Vegas monorail is probably the biggest failure in Las Vegas. They are still talking about a train from Vegas to Victorville, Ca. If it happens that will become even a bigger failure.

It was easy to predict that the monorail would fail before it even opened, given that it didn't run along the Strip. However, a train between the LA area and Vegas has a much greater chance of success. As long as there's ample, safe parking at the station and the price isn't ridiculous, I think it would be successful. Trains in most parts of the world are successful.
In other news, I just added Venetian to my Casino Hall of Shame, for misleading about its triple-zero roulette game.

I also think a train from Los Angeles to Vegas could be successful. A train from Victorville to Vegas will be a huge failure. If people from Los Angeles have to drive two hours to Victorville in traffic they won't bother taking the train.

Oh, I didn't realize Victorville was so far away from L.A..
One presumes that if they're gonna build a train line all the way from Vegas to just outside LA, they'll complete it by having a connection all the way into LA.
In other news, my list of Free Things to See & Do in Vegas, which started a couple years ago with 34 things, is now up to 63 things.

Big news in casino ownership:
First know that MGM Resorts owns a bunch of casinos (not just the MGM Grand), and Caesars Entertainment likewise owns a bunch of casinos (not just Caesars Palace).
Used to be that each of these companies owned both the casino business and the real estate (land+buildings). But starting in 2017, both companies formed spinoffs to sell most of their real estate to, to get an influx of cash, to weather bad times. Being that COVID hit not long after, that action now seems downright prescient.
MGM Properties formed MGM Growth Properties to own the real estate, and Caesars Entertainment formed VICI. So now, in a twist no one could see coming, VICI is acquiring MGM Growth Properties. So an offshoot of Caesars Ent. (a competitor of MGM Resorts), is gonna own the real estate for MGM Resorts. Wow. That also means that VICI is gonna own most of the real estate on the Strip.
Easy Vegas has all the details on my page of Who owns which casino.

- I think this should be moved WAAAAY up to the list, top 10 for sure.
35) Mirage Dolphin "Habitat"
- Isn't there is an admission fee for that ?
xx) Area 15
- How about adding this one ?

I was on the fence about this one, since while admission is free, if you want to actually see or do much of anything then you have to pay, but since you think it should be added, that moves me to the "Add" side of the fence. I added it.Quote: JohnnyQxx) Area 15

Since the list was getting unwieldy, I split the top ten list onto its own page.

It's kind of obvious, but what about an entry for "Strip Architecture" in the top 10 ?
The Pyramid, the Castle, and the NYNY skyline are with-in about 1/2 mile of each other. Another mile further up the Strip and you have the Eiffel tower.

That's a good idea. I'd ask which one you want me to drop, but I know you'd say the Fashion Show.
I could list 11 things even though it's a Top Ten list, giving readers a bonus. Or I could have Top Ten things on the Strip, and Top Ten things downtown. Hmm...
BTW, I was able to find the pic I took of the conservatory over a decade ago, to grace the page. I actually liked it better than any of the stock photos I found.
I did write to a photographer whose pic of the glass ceiling I liked, inquiring about licensing it. If that's a no-go then I have a backup photo I plan to buy.

Glad you liked it!
The reason I mentioned room sizes in Tropicana and not NYNY was that I was really struggling to find unique things about Tropicana, unlike NYNY. But since you think it's a good idea to mention it under NYNY, your command is my wish, I added it.
This first run is mostly just stuff I could think of off the top of my head. One I start digging I'll find even more.
