OUR FAMOUS QUICK TIPS AND RUMORS
**** - The Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino, closed since
Jan 15, 2008 when a fire set off by welders on the roof blazed through the topmost
floors, is set to re-open February 15 with the entire casino level and over
a third of its 3,000 rooms open for business. An additional third should be ready
by the following week. The remaining top floor rooms will be closed indefinitely
while undergoing extensive remodeling. In the meantime pre-registered guests for
the closed rooms are being relocated to other MGM properties.
More News Continues Below
***** - UPDATE After 65 years on the Las Vegas Strip, The New
Frontier Hotel and Casino, one of the oldest remaining venues on the Strip,
and the former home to Seigfried and Roy, Elvis Presley and other Las Vegas
favorites, closed its doors Sunday (July 22) at Midnight. The property
has been bought by the Elad Group, owners of the Plaza Hotel in New York, for
a reported $1.2 billion, and they plan on demolishing the current hotel to erect
a new $5 billion, Plaza Hotel style resort with 3500 rooms, a casino, private
condos and shops by 2011.
UPDATE: The New Frontier is slated for implosion at 2:30am on November 13 by
Controlled Demolition, the same folks who brought down the Landmark,
Aladdin,
Hacienda, Sands and most recently the Stardust.
**** - Predictably: CANCELLED! After only 3 episodes!...
As if to rival NBC's popular "Las Vegas" TV
series, CBS Television just doesn't quite seem to hit the mark by presenting
their own offering this Fall Season of a new primetime series called:
Viva Laughlin!
The full-hour drama tentatively set to be aired Sunday evenings, and loosely
based on the BBC series "Viva Blackpool", features
actor Hugh Jackman as Nicky Fontana and Lloyd Owens as Ripley Holden who
wrestles, against all odds, with opening a casino and raising his family in
none other than Laughlin, Nevada.

| ***** - | It's a Fact! Usually straight from the source! |

| *** - | Highly reliable single source, but conflicting other sources or not entirely sure of validity. |
| ** - | Probably based in fact somehow... |
| * - | Oh Come On! We only included it because we didn't think
anyone could have been inventive enough to actually make this up! |

These are the latest Las Vegas area rumors, newspaper announcements, news and press releases
which our staff has picked up on, of interest to the touring public.
Some are well confirmed, some not, some humorous,
some pathetic. Some of these border on pure speculation, while others
were heard "straight from the source" (see the explanation of *'s above).
You've been warned! Although we've done our best in following
up, to track down the details, LVLG assumes no responsibility for their
accuracy nor for any damages resulting from their lack of accuracy.
