I Thought I Received this Grazie Offer Because I was a Member

Grazie Offer from Las Vegas Sands

Last week I received what looks to be a strange offer from Club Grazie offering me 5,000 points if I stay at the hotel and sign up to be a member.  I can’t figure out what this offer is.  I’m on the Venetian and Palazzo mailing list because I signed up for Grazie a couple [...]

Week In Review

by Marc January 10, 2011

What a whirlwind last week turned out to be.  I didn’t realize CES was so big!  I also didn’t realize that I’d be disconnected from the world because AT&T decided not to bring any extra towers.  Nobody with AT&T service had reception anywhere near the strip last week.  It was awful! I had a great [...]

Cosmopolitan Doesn't Care About Money

by Marc January 3, 2011

While I’ve spoken about how much I enjoy the marketing of the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, they’ve glaringly avoided talking about gambling which has stuck me as strange. This article shows that gaming makes up almost 75% of Sands worldwide business and while that number may be a little less in the US, it’s certainly not [...]

Second Quarter Casino Earnings

by Marc August 17, 2010

I did my first roundup of casino earnings last quarter and the information is easily available so I figure it’s worth sharing.  On a headline glance the information is mixed. Boyd Gaming profits drop 75%. LV Sun MGM net income down a lot, but revenue about even year over year. LV Sun Las Vegas Sands [...]

Week In Review

by Marc June 13, 2010

The big news this week is split between the World Cup and Wynn Las Vegas tacking a $20 resort fee on to their standard room rates.  They must be ashamed about this because they’re hiding the fees in their terms and conditions and not clearly disclosing the fees.  I have to think this is illegal.  [...]
