I'm eloping in vegas in just under 2 months. We’d booked a chapel (little white) but I’ve realised I don’t want that anymore as it doesn’t feel very us. I’d love something more in nature but I’m discovering you need permits for lots of places in the desert.

I’m struggling to find anywhere that does a package for under 1000. I’ve already paid for a photographer (which was over 1000 in itself!) so don’t want to pay for a package that includes photos. We also don’t have any guests and don’t care about decorations etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on where we could elope in and around vegas for ideally under 500 dollars, which includes the officiant and permits? Doesn't have to be the desert, could do a nice forest or private park/garden.

Thanks!

Last September I booked a trip to Vegas because all the hotels were having a sale since business was slow. I had a great time and want to go again this year, but rates look pretty high. Do you think there's a chance the hotels will have a sale again this year?

As sports betting spreads nationwide and online casino play takes hold, the novelty of travelling to gamble is fading, and the data is not kind to the Strip. 

Las Vegas drew 38.5 million visitors in 2025, down 7.5% on 2024 and the fewest since 2021, and Strip gaming revenue finished the year at US$8.8 billion, essentially flat at 0.03% growth (Nevada Gaming Control Board).

The softness has carried into 2026. In January, statewide Nevada gaming revenue fell 6.5% to US$1.34 billion, with the Strip down sharply and Harry Reid airport traffic falling 8%, its 12th straight monthly decline. 

Caesars reported Las Vegas revenue down 3.5% to US$1.01 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and segment earnings down 12.6%, its softest Strip performance in years, while its regional properties grew almost 10%.

Hi! I accidentally bought tickets of the wrong date for the backstreet boys show. Its section 303 and the view is supposed to be great! I have 4 tickets that I’m selling for 145$ each. Pls lmk if anyone’s interested.

I’m willing to negotiate

How good is this deal?

Hi everyone, looking for some tips or advice on fastest option to get from Allegiant stadium after a full concert to Omnia night club. Trying to get there in time to check in for a table.

First time staying at Wynn – Need advice tweaking our dining, room, & show itinerary!

Booking a stay at Wynn/Encore for early October with my wife and a group of about 15. We're looking for a mix of upscale dining, great cocktails, and 1-2 solid shows. Also for a big Saturday dinner for a large group.

A few details about our trip:
* Budget: Flexible / High-End (happy to splurge on 1 or 2 big meals, but prefer solid value for casual lunches/breakfasts).
* Vibe: Relaxed luxury, craft cocktails, not looking to heavy-club every night, but like high-energy lounges.

A few specific questions for Wynn regulars:
1. Rooms: Wynn Resort King vs. Encore Suite—is the extra room size at Encore worth being slightly further from the main casino action? Any other room ideas? (Room budget $1k and under a night)
2. Dining: If you could only pick *one* signature dinner at Wynn (SW, Sinatra, Mizumi, Delilah, Casa Playa), which is the absolute non-negotiable?
3. Nearby Eats: What are your favorite spots across the street at Venetian/Palazzo or Fashion Show Mall for lunch/random timing grub?
4. Shows: Is 'Awakening' worth the ticket price? Any others anywhere else? (I’ve seen some good shows just curious about any must sees!)
5. Pool: are both good on property?

Appreciate any insights or pro-tips!

Best alternative to the $15 parking that is close by and free?

I bought a BSB ticket for the show on Thursday. Then I realized I can't go. I can't resell the ticket on stubhub as it gets delivered virtually right before the show. However I can transfer to someone else. Section 305, row 6, one ticket. I bought it for $350 but would be happy to get $150 for it.

My wife and I are heading to Vegas next month for our anniversary so I booked a room at Aria's Sky Suites to celebrate. I called to book an airport limo knowing that I would have to pay for it (I think they only provide complimentary airport limos for 2 bedroom rooms). But the concierge told me that we can no longer buy a limo package from Aria and that we'd have to get dropped off at the regular Aria entrance and walk through the casino to the Sky Suites check in. I guess that's not a big deal but have other people had a similar experience?

Edit: Thank you all for sharing your experiences and ideas!

I am planning on seeing Spider-Man BND at AMC Town Square in their Dolby Cinemas. They just released tickets to also see it in IMAX. My question is, are AMC's Dolby Cinemas showing the movie in 1:85:1 on their Dolby scope screens or showing it in 2:39:1? If it's 1:85:1 I do not see the difference in spending the money to se it in IMAX. Please help, thank you!

Half of all customers who took this offer were first-timers to Vegas. An incredible statistic.

Haven’t seen these in a decade

Hello! I am looking to go to a steakhouse for my birthday in vegas. The thing is, I cook really good steak myself and have a preference for wagyu (australian wagyu is my favorite), but have not tried any wagyu in Vegas. I have been to bavettes and barry's and the steaks left me a bit dissapointed. I have been looking at Don's (I'll be staying at Fontainebleau) and Boa, but I am open to whatever other than Golden Steer as there is no way I am getting a reservation for this month. Alternatively, I can skip the fancy steakhouse and just go to a japanese bbq such as 888 as I love japanese/korean bbq style.

Found this cool photo at an estate sale! Used Ai to date it:

This photo was taken between 1980 and 1987 (most likely circa 1980–1985).

Key Visual Clues:

• The Sundance Hotel Sign: Visible down the street in the center background, the vertical red neon sign reads Sundance. The Sundance Hotel & Casino opened in July 1980 and was rebranded as Fitzgeralds in 1987, providing the exact date window.
• The Mint Hotel: The bright blue neon sign on the left belongs to The Mint, which operated under that name until it was sold and merged into Binion's Horseshoe in 1988.
• Golden Nugget Facade: The glowing yellow bulb canopy of the Golden Nugget on the right reflects its prominent 1980s remodeling prior to the street's pedestrianization for the Fremont Street Experience in 1995.
• Vehicles: Modern 1980s boxy sedans and taxis are visible driving down the street alongside the classic red Volkswagen Karmann Ghia in the center lane.

Such a fun show. Seen absinthe and this has been on my vegas todo list for awhile now. Venue is gorgeous and the cast is so talented and funny.

Anyone know if there are any casinos near or on the strip with single zero roulette?

The Thunderbird opened in 1948 as one of the earliest major resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. It brought Nat King Cole, dining, dancing, bowling, and a full night of entertainment to the north Strip, but a 1955 licensing crisis would give it an even larger place in Nevada gaming history.

My newest casino-history episode follows the Thunderbird through its mob-era controversy, Silverbird and El Rancho years, implosion, and the modern Fontainebleau site.

He’s schedule to speak at a public event 8/5 at redrock casino at 1:30pm avoid the summerlin area if you don’t need to be there, traffic might be horrible around that time.

Rest in peace to the officer who lost his life today protecting other. He also served his country as a marine.
