They had development plans before the pandemic, but now might invest those funds overseas. Wynn has not said that the land is for sale, however. We haven’t reported on Lake Mead levels in a long time, because last year was a wet year. Newsweek is reporting that levels are again declining precipitously. Please be thoughtful about your water consumption when you go to Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that the site for the A’s stadium has been largely graded, and they have now drilled holes in the ground for concrete and reinforcing steel. It increasingly seems that this is a real thing which will actually happen. According to thestreet.com, Brad Paisley closed his residency at The Encore May 10.

She wants to return, but is unwanted. She was getting paid between $750,000 and $900,000 per show. The residency ran from 2021 to 2023.
