The Las Vegas bettors are getting set for its first Super Bowl since a series of arrests linked to insider betting.

In a city renowned for its iconic skyline, the Las Vegas Sphere has emerged as a standout attraction, drawing global attention since its opening in September 2023.

Another worthy addition to the gambling bookshelf is David G. Schwartz’s Something for Your Money: A History of Las Vegas Casinos. It takes the reader from the sawdust floor of the earliest gambling parlors to the high-roller salons of the new Strip. The Las Vegas story is a well-worn subject, and many tales have been told. But Schwartz brings much new material and the academic rigor that reflects his expertise and stature as UNLV’s ombuds and a history professor. It’s the latest in his growing body of work on a subject that continues to fascinate writers and readers alike.

These are crazy times in the industry, and customers should take advantage while they can.

The long-shuttered Eastside Cannery casino on the Boulder Strip, which closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and never reopened, will be demolished, according to Boyd Gaming.

David G. Schwartz is a prolific gaming and casino historian. I have reviewed several of his books in this space over the years, including his latest backgrounder on the history of Las Vegas: “Something for Your Money.” While that topic has been amply covered by dozens of other works, his stands out as extremely well-researched, but at the same time very readable.

Las Vegas is set to host one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year, Canelo Alvarez versus Terence Crawford, at Allegiant Stadium this weekend. The event is expected to draw fans from around the world and could have a significant impact on the city's tourism industry.
