The INSANE Free Play Offer That Won't Last, Bally's Halts Construction & Vegas Is Chasing Gen Z!

Treasure Island is offering $200 in free play to new and existing casino members Monday through Wednesday through September 7th, and we would go get it now because offers this rich almost never survive their end date. Red Rock also announced 3 to 2 blackjack at all their poolside tables Friday through Sunday, which is a genuine win since most pool games in town carry the worst odds possible. The bigger business story is Bally's halting construction on everything but the casino at their Chicago project, not over money but over a dispute with the city about video gaming terminals, which they say breaks the exclusivity they paid $40 million up front and $4 million a year for. We also cover the Rio announcing a new multi-showroom venue opening this month with Fabulous and Tony and Tina's Wedding, the Star Trek convention taking over the Rio and why Quark's Bar needs to come back, Lee's Discount Liquor selling to another family owned company, new drone footage of Durango's phase three expansion with bowling and a luxury theater, 21 plus signage going up at Excalibur, the Duane Davis trial starting in Las Vegas, and the LVCVA's content creator Olympics aimed squarely at Gen Z. Let us know in the comments if you made it to Treasure Island.
