MGM Mirage’s North Strip Land Grab

4/19/20074/8/2008 / Tim / 7 Comments

Las Vegas Review Journal reports that MGM Mirage will announce today the acquisition of the property across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Sahara as well as the land next to Circus Circus where Maxim magazine was planning to build.

MGM’s plans to redevlop the land include making Circus Circus “the gateway to our new development, similar to what Monte Carlo is to Project CityCenter.” If by “gateway” they mean “casino people walk past to get the the other properties in the area,” then this all makes perfect sense.

Tuesday Evening Las Vegas Links: Nobody’s Fool

We just returned home from our 10th annivegasary trip and haven’t had time to round up much content for this week’s links. However, we thought we should state for the record that reports of illegal activity we may have been part of in Las Vegas in the past week are at least 45 percent false.

We have a lot to talk about on the next podcast, so check back this weekend for lots of Vegasy fun.

Thanks to Aaron for tipping us off to the upcoming release of Resident Evil Extinction. Based on the trailer, it looks like this may be the most frightening movie ever for Las Vegas fans.
