Vegas Plaza Hotel

The wait is nearly over. Owner Tamares Group started the renovations, opting to keep the hotel closed and do them all at once, and the results sound promising. Almost everything has been fixed up or completely redone top to bottom, and with the re-opening scheduled for September 1, the project is ahead of schedule. The Plaza was aided by some items coming at a discount from the shuttered Fountaineblau project that helped the budget for the renovation. In a time when the tourism and economy of Vegas is starting to pick back up, the Plaza is targeting the typical Vegas crowd to convince them that the Plaza has changed. It will reopen with a new casino floor, lounges, and several restaurants, including a steakhouse named for former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.

Las Vegas Bingo at the Riviera

After a four-year absence from the Vegas gaming scene, the Riviera is bringing bingo back to the fold. After exiting Chapter 11 on April 1, the new Riviera is under new management and launching a complete revamp of many areas, including the bingo room. This isn’t your traditional chips and white cards setup, however, as the Riviera is targeting all audiences, particularly the males age 20-40 demographic. Now, the bingo machines are electronic, with players having the choice of using fixed monitors or hand-held devices. Gone are the days of only the older crowd playing–the Riviera says bingo is for everyone. Better yet, the big games will move to a bigger area and the bingo room is projected to break even at the least.

Other hotels are following suit.The Plaza will also reopen on August 24 with a $150,000 bingo tournament as well, and a waiting list that has grown to 160. If you’re looking for Vegas gaming at its finest, look into information on the Riviera, as well as checking out Plaza info.

On August 24, the mini-golf and Las Vegas bar scenes will collide, with The Swingers Club set to open in the renovated Plaza hotel, giving us another excellent place to stay and play in Vegas. A nine-hole Vegas-themed miniature golf course will be the focal point of the bar, as well as dueling pianos placed on the floor to encourage the camaraderie associated with both Vegas bars and golf. Owner and manager Anthony Cools, a local hypnotist and show producer, is looking to create an “inviting atmosphere where people can just relax and have fun,” and will do so with a schedule that includes the bar and mini-golf course (11 AM-4 PM), live music (7-9 PM), dueling pianos (9 PM-2 AM), a DJ, and a glow-in-the-dark disco golf course in the later hours (2 AM-4 AM).

A soft opening is scheduled for August 24 to coincide with the casino’s opening, with an official grand opening schedule for Labor Day weekend. Interested in checking out Cools’ hypnotism show in Las Vegas? CLICK HERE.
