Latest Bellagio Picasso Replacement Rumor Gives Us a Carboner

3 days ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

There’s been a lot of chatter about what might replace Picasso restaurant at Bellagio. The latest is juicy. We’re hearing the folks from Major Food Group, the company behind Carbone (Aria) and Sadelle’s Cafe (Bellagio), have been kicking the tires at Bellagio and could open a new venue in the former Picasso space. The juiciest part: A domain name, CarboneVongole.com, was registered on June 16, 2025. Why are we sharing this? One, to avoid writing about the ridiculous A’s groundbreaking.

3 days ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

We will do just about anything to avoid writing about the A’s groundbreaking (dog and pony show), so in that spirit, Nom Wah is coming to the Rampart Casino!Rampart, of course, is the casino at JW Marriott Resort in Summerlin, about 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip, or three hours during the four months leading up to F1. Anyway, this news is cool because Nom Wah is billed as “New York City’s first and oldest dim sum restaurant.” The restaurant opens September 2025.
"Miss Behave's Mavericks" to Close at Plaza, With an Asterisk

4 days ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

A quirky variety show at Plaza, “Miss Behave’s Mavericks,” will close after its July 6, 2025 performance. The closure, however, is being characterized as a “hiatus.” In Las Vegas, shows don’t go on hiatus. They close. “Hiatus” is a way of softening the blow. In the case of “Mavericks,” however, it sounds like the show may very well have another life after a break as some behind-the-scenes drama is sorted.

1 week ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

The newest season of “Somebody Feed Phil” has dropped on Netflix and the Las Vegas episode features a number of Sin City chefs and restaurants. Screw you, James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Awards. We snub your snub!Our chefs would rather get kudos from Phil Rosenthal, creator and executive producer of the hit sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond,” rather than some lame medallion any day.

1 week ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

A towering new venue outside Horseshoe on the Las Vegas Strip, Bottled Blonde, has announced an opening date: June 26, 2025. The $50 million sports bar and nightlife venue has been under construction since, roughly, Vegas Vic was still under warranty.
Las Vegas is Getting a Netflix House

1 week ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

In the ongoing quest of Netflix to squeeze every possible cent out of its intellectual property, Las Vegas will get a Netflix House in 2027. Netflix Bites opened at MGM Grand, eliciting a collective shrug. The reaction to the announcement of Netflix House has been about the same. What’s a Netflix House? Curse you for asking because now we have to provide an answer, like we don’t have better things to do. Philadelphia and Dallas will get Netflix Houses in 2025. Read more.
Farcical Majestic Project Drops New Renderings, Lifts Logo

1 week ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

Las Vegas has a long tradition of pie-in-the-sky projects being announced but ultimately never happening. Majestic Las Vegas is another one of that. The supposed resort project recently dropped new renderings and appears to have lifted a logo from the beloved Neon Museum, so we thought we’d pass it along for your amusement and whatever face-palming you deem appropriate. Majestic Las Vegas won’t have a casino, so we’re struggling to care about it, real or imagined. Hint: It’s that second thing.
Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026 Dates Named, Grand Prix Plaza Opens

1 week ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

Despite our best efforts, the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix will return to Las Vegas in 2026. Next year’s F1 race happens Nov. 19-21, 2026, with all the requisite hoopla and gridlock. On the bright side, the event hasn’t been extended for 10 years. In better news, an F1 attraction near the Las Vegas Strip, dubbed Grand Prix Plaza, has opened and it’s pretty cool. So, there’s that.

2 weeks ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

The off-Strip Rampart Casino (about 20 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip) is doing its best to keep up with the proliferation of high limit rooms at locals casinos. Rampart plans to open its new high limit slots room on July 3, 2025. The new high limit room follows on the heels of other high limit room launches at neighboring Suncoast and the nearby Red Rock Resort. We love the smell of fresh slots, so let’s look at the renderings, shan’t we?
Iconic "Crazy Girls" Statue is Coming to Circa Las Vegas

2 weeks ago | casino.org | Scott Roeben

It’s as recognizable as the Bellagio fountains, Carrot Top, the Strat tower, Vegas Vic or the Las Vegas sign. The bronze “Crazy Girls” statue, providing good luck for legions of Las Vegas visitors for decades, is being dusted off and will soon be on display at Circa Las Vegas downtown. The bootylicious statue will make its way via motorcade to Circa on June 23, 2025, with an unveiling at the resort’s new Legacy Club entrance on June 27, 2025. We love that this is happening and we hate everything.
