Miku — Mon, 05 May 2008 04:58:18 +0000

Wynn Las Vegas has some big expansion plans. They plan two build two new hotels and 1.6 million square feet of meeting and convention space. The hotels would have around 2,600 rooms reach, bringing the total number of rooms at the property to 10,000. Wynn revealed the plans during a May 1st conference call with investors.

“We’re finally prepared to leverage this unique, incredible physical location, where we straddle two of the most dynamic exhibit centers on earth — the Las Vegas Convention Center to our immediate east on the adjacent property and the Sands Expo & Convention Center on the adjacent property to the south,” Wynn says.

The plans also include a free underground tram system to help move guests around the new massive resort. There was no announced start date for the new projects.

99-Cent Shrimp Cocktail at the Golden Nugget is History

Miku — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:34:41 +0000

It’s a sad day on Fremont street - the Golden Nugget has raised its prices on its famous 99-cent shrimp cocktail. The price is now a whopping $1.99. This still sounds like a pretty good deal but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it as the 99-cent price did.

The Golden Gate originally started selling the Shrimp Cocktails in 1959, when the price was 50 cents. In 1991 it raised the price to 99 cents.
