Looks like there might be some movement on The Drew with new investors.

Interesting article about the state of Las Vegas post pandemic and the construction that's ongoing.

Image is of the new convention centre which may not be timed very well as they predict lower attendance at large gatherings for the next few years.

There’s a lot riding on the city reviving quickly. In Allegiant Stadium, built just west of the Strip at a cost of $1.8 billion (and partially financed by a hotel room tax), the National Football League’s Raiders completed their inaugural season in front of 65,000 empty seats. Downtown, a massive sports book and 777 more rooms were added to the city’s inventory when the Circa Resort & Casino opened in October. And the $4.3 billion, 3,500-room Resorts World is on pace to open this summer, giving a boost to the long-stagnant north Strip area.

Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World, which will be the first new resort to open on the Strip in more than a decade, is installing state-of-the-art technology in preparation for Day 1.

“Resorts World Las Vegas has a natural advantage, creating a new resort experience, chock-full of new and innovative technology and advancements that didn’t exist 10 years ago,” Sibella said. “Our team is working diligently to review every touchpoint across the resort through a new lens that is hyperfocused on sanitation and safety.”

Great interview and a look around the inside of the Circa Resort. Is is just me of does it look like they still have construction happening on the top floors?

The Virgin hotel is due to open in January 2021.

New owner of Rio, Dreamscape, says it plans a “top to bottom multi hundred million dollar renovation.” They add Rio “will return to its founding philosophy of a fun and energetic vibe."

There is discussion about a return to free entertainment to encourage visitors back to Las Vegas after the huge Coronavirus impact. Would be interesting to see more hotels going back to having themes etc, the newer hotels are so generic. Circa looks interesting as far as the pool deck etc is concerned but most seem to be building standard hotels.
