Duran Duran to Perform at The Cosmopolitan Once Again

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

Duran Duran is still huge, and still actively touring the world, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will be one of their stops in the upcoming tour. The band will perform two nights at The Chelsea, on September 7 and 8. Tickets are available on sale since May 17, 10 am, and you can obtain them online or by calling Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000. The prices start at $49, but you need to take into account that there will probably be some applicable fees and taxes in addition to the base price.

Duran Duran Still Has It!

The early 80s were a really interesting period for the music industry, especially in Birmingham, England, where a very vibrant genre of music was being invented, with Duran Duran being one of the leaders of that wave. They did not take much to reach the top of the world with their music and managed to sell more than 100 million records around the globe. Moreover, the band had 18 hit singles in the US, and 20 of their songs topped the charts in the UK.

Needless to say, Duran Duran was awarded some of the most prestigious awards in the music industry, which is a real testament to their success and innovation. Having performed almost everywhere, this group will return to Las Vegas once again, and they have two consecutive performances. Therefore, if you happen to be in Vegas during that weekend, make sure not to miss one of the biggest musical attractions.

Let’s take a look at their amazing biography and how they become one of the most popular acts of the 80s.

About Duran Duran

Music that Duran Duran makes is often described as new wave, synth pop, and dance rock. When they emerged, they were a part of the New Romantic scene, but they managed to distance themselves from other bands from the scene and build a completely unique image.

The band was formed in Birmingham, England back in 1978 by John Taylor and Nick Rhodes, who are its core members even today. Both members were actually working in a night club. John was working at the entrance, while Nick was a DJ who was paid only £10 per performance. They decided to join forces and started rehearsing and playing in that very same night club. The band did not have a drummer until they stumbled upon Roger Taylor, who became yet another core member of the band and is still actively playing the drums for Duran Duran.

The band released their first album in 1981 and named it simply Duran Duran. The album featured a couple of successful songs, one of them being Planet Earth which ended up on number 12 in the UK top 20. However, the biggest hit was definitely Girls on Film, which was followed by an interesting video. The song ended up in fifth place in the UK top 20 chart.

The best thing about Duran Duran and Girls of Film is that the erotic video was made only two weeks after MTV was launched, and it was featured on the TV, capturing viewers’ attention instantly.

The band went on to release 14 studio albums. After their initial success, they became popular worldwide and remained on top to date. Their latest album was released back in 2015 and is called Paper Gods.

This band was heavily influential as well and impacted many younger musicians and their music. Some of the bands and individual artists that created music under the influence of Duran Duran include Beck, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Dido, Franz Ferdinand, and more.

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

Memorial Day is coming closer, and The STRAT Hotel, Casino, and SkyPod is preparing for a great weekend, with a lot of surprises and interesting events happening all over the place. This weekend-long party will focus on two parties which will take place by the poolside. Furthermore, visitors will have an opportunity to visit a new bar called 108 Drinks and enjoy the parties all weekend long.

Even if you are not a hotel guest, you will have an opportunity to visit the two pools that are a part of The STRAT. There are two great cafes by the pool called Elation Pool Café and Bar and Radius Rooftop Pool and Wet Lounge. The latter is available only for people who are 21 or over. People who are not guests of the hotel will have to pay admission fees, but hotel guests will have a complimentary entry.

It is actually a 360-degree panoramic view of not only the city but also the entire valley.

What is Memorial Day?

Memorial Day (also known as Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the US. In every state, people who died serving in the US Armed Forces are remembered and honored. This holiday is usually observed every last Monday in May. This year, it is going to be May 27. Apart from honoring the people who served in the army, it is often considered the start of the season of summer vacation. In other words, it is a holiday where people should give their thanks to the fallen soldiers, but also be grateful for being able to live in peace and prosperity in the US. There are certain traditions in some parts of the US that involve visiting graves of the fallen soldiers and honoring them by placing American flags on their graves. This is usually conducted by Memorial Day volunteers.

Arcane Reel Chaos – NetEnt’s Exciting New Slot is Out!

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

NetEnt’s publishing schedule has been filled with great titles lately, and one of their most recent games will thrill many magic lovers. Fans who like NetEnt’s online video slots are usually blown away by the number of special features, great animations, stunning visuals, and great generosity. However, one of the most important things that made many NetEnt titles stand out from the crowd is the plot.

Now, it is difficult to assume how an online slot could possibly have a plot, but the online casino content developer seems to have found a way to grab the attention of people who consider the story element important in every game.

Arcane Reel Chaos basically follows five very interesting characters, with all of them having some kind of special powers and being immersed in arcane and mysterious teachings. Therefore, you will join Deep Pockets, Flare, Zero.x, Chrono, and Psyop in their battle that could bring hefty prizes to lucky players.

All of the characters have some special features and interesting back stories that made them special. Deep Pockets is an ultimate evil character who was once a businessman that sold a valuable talisman and cursed himself to become an ultimate arcane magic master. You engage in a battle with him if you land three talismans on the reels. Flare is a girl that has her way with fire and can help your reel wins multiply. She uses her powers to stop Deep Pockets from conquering the world.

Zero.x is a very interesting character as he has two heads and can help you fight Deep Pockets by bringing Overlay Wilds into the game. Chrono is a woman who can control time and can help you by granting you respins that retrigger until you find a winning combo. Chrono also fights Deep Pockets by sending him back to the past or to the future. Finally, Psyop is a character much like Charles Xavier from the X-Men, as he uses his mental abilities to fight Deep Pockets and bring you a stack of Wilds to your reels, thus helping you create big wins.

Now that you know all the characters, we should take a moment to focus on the technical side of the slot, which is still the most important part of this type of casino games. Arcane Reel Chaos offers a 5×3 grid structure and a total of 20 paylines which are fixed, meaning players cannot adjust the number of lines. Furthermore, players will have an opportunity to land Wild symbols which substitute all the other symbols on the reels or trigger one of the 4 mini features in addition to progressive Free Spins.

You can set the coin value to a minimum of 0.01 and a maximum of 10.00. Furthermore, the game enables players to trigger the auto spin feature where they can set the number of automated spins that they want to be executed. The number of auto round can be set anywhere from 10 to 1000, but there is also an option to enter the advanced settings screen and set the conditions for stopping the auto spin feature yourself.

The symbols that you can locate on the reels are divided into the low-paying and the high-paying ones. The low-paying symbols are a standard set that includes 10, J, Q, K, and A. On the other hand, the high-paying symbols are characters described above. Therefore, if you are up for some superpower mutants that meddle with arcane knowledge fighting each other, you should definitely check out Arcane Reel Chaos and give it a couple of spins!

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

ESPN and Caesars Entertainment will join forces and bring the best sports betting news, as well as sports-related entertainment, to all fans of this activity all over the US. One of the major points in the deal is building a brand new ESPN-branded studio that will be located at The LINQ Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. There, content related to the theme of sports betting will be created and one of the features shows will be one of the popular recent ESPN sports betting-related piece called Daily Wager. Naturally, all the ESPN content made in the studio at The LINQ will also include Caesars branding.

Mike Morrison, VP of Business Development at ESPN, stated that the landscape for sports betting had changed and that the fans of that activity were coming to ESPN more than ever before. Furthermore, he added that ESPN is poised to expand their coverage “in a big way,” and that they were working with Caesars Entertainment category leaders who would help them most relevant and most entertaining content for highly engaged and diverse sports fan base. Therefore, if you like sports, and enjoy sports betting, the content produced as a result of this collaboration might be what you are after and might help you improve your sports betting skills.

The EVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Caesars Entertainment, Chris Holdren, stated that he and his company were really excited about the collaboration with ESPN and the long-term value that it will bring to both companies and sports fans alike. Furthermore, he added that starting immediately, the platforms by ESPN would begin featuring valuable information about odds and the main company that would provide those pieces of information would be Caesars Entertainment. Holdren stated that ESPN would position itself as the authority when it comes to sports betting and that millions of sports fans would look to them for content.

He concluded that they were honored have Caesars by their sides and that Caesars was honored to have been one of the primary selections by ESPN as it offered the best odds and served fans well.

The primary purpose of the studio is to be a sort of a Vegas hub for all content that is related to odds. Furthermore, it will contribute to many social, digital, and linear shows, in addition to ESPN.com and the exclusive ESPN app. Finally, both sides predict that the studio will have a vital role during all the major sports events, as well as during the marquee events that are hosted in LV and that are rapidly growing in number. According to both sides, the studio will be completed in 2020 and launched that very same year.

According to Connor Schell, EVP of Content at ESPN, Las Vegas has become an epicenter of sports culture during the last couple of years, and having a partner such as Caesars is a great way to have a full studio presence in Vegas.

Connecticut Governor Delays Tribal Casino Support

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

Bridgeport, Connecticut is a town that could potentially become the next big casino place, but that will not happen in the near future, according to the Governor of Connecticut, Ned Lamont. Lamont stated that he was supportive of a plan to build casinos which would be owned by two Native American tribes, but he added that the legislation that would enable the casinos to be built would not be ready in 2019. In other words, the tribes will have to wait for a year in order to see how things would turn out for them and their casino-related plans.

The Governor was taking part in the Connecticut Conference on Tourism, and before this event had started, he was cornered by a group of journalists who wanted to find out his opinion on the subject. The entire event was actually sponsored by two casino resorts that already exist in Connecticut – Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Coincidence or not?

Lamont stated for a report published at the Connecticut Mirror that he and his team were trying to ‘get something done.’ However, he added that they were pretty much in race with time and that there was no way to do it ‘in this session.’ Both the Mashantucket Pequot and the Mohegan tribes are holding their hopes high when it comes to building a satellite casino that would probably be the main competition to the MGM Springfield which is an integrated resort that was built close to the border that separates Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Although the Governor refused to give more details about the potential collaboration, he addressed the issue later at his speech, claiming that the state of Connecticut had had a very ‘strong bond and contract’ which had lasted for ‘over a generation.’ He added that he would do everything in his power not to do any harm to that contract, and make it ‘stay intact.’ Finally, Lamont stated that the state and the tribes were ‘working together going forward.’

The lawmakers of Connecticut have already given two thumbs up to a bill that would enable the construction of the casino facility, which would be called Tribal Winds. However, there was a problem with MGM and that seems like a very big obstacle at the moment. MGM actually went on to sue the state of Connecticut, as they claimed that the state authorized commercial gambling illegally by enabling casinos to be built in an area which is not controlled by the tribes.

At the moment, there is a certain stalemate which includes not only the tribes but also MGM, the state of Connecticut and the Department of the Interior. All of these sides have to get involved in this issue in order to solve it as soon as possible. Therefore, when talking about the inability to proceed with the plan in 2019, the Governor of Connecticut actually has the situation mentioned above in mind.

In other words, there will be no gambling expansion that will take place in Connecticut in 2019, and even sports betting expansions are not considered. Lamont expressed his wishes to proceed with the plan as soon as possible, stating that he wanted to apply the global solution and get out of the limbo that they are all currently stuck in. He added that he would love to make a deal with the chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe. One of the other issues that are blocking the further development of casino gambling and sports betting in this state is that the tribes have the complete control over gambling and would likely push for complete control over sports betting as well.

Deep Purple to Perform in Tulsa on September 21

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

The giants of classic rock, Deep Purple, will perform at The Joint, which is located in Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Tulsa. The band which has managed to define the genre and become popular worldwide now feels that they have to say goodbye to their fans as the tour is called “The Long Goodbye Tour.” Therefore, if you happen to be in Tulsa in September, make sure to check this legendary band out, as you will probably not have an opportunity to listen to them after that. The tickets went on sale on May 10, and their prices start at $79.50. Make sure to buy them as soon as possible, since the hard rock legends are likely to have their performance sold-out soon.

Who Are Deep Purple?

Deep Purple is a band from the United Kingdom that managed to sell over 100 million albums around the world, and they are one of the most active classic rock bands ever. Known for their hard work and dedication, as well as their legendary songs, the band gained cult following, filling entire arenas wherever they perform.

The band also has a very long history, with a lot of members coming and going and a couple of hiatuses in the past. The most successful band lineup, which is remembered even today, included Ian Pace on drums, Roger Glover on bass, the late John Lord on keyboards, and the two most distinctive members, Ian Gillan on vocals and Ritchie Blackmoore on guitar. At the moment, fans who attend Deep Purple concerts have an opportunity to listen to Gillan’s voice, which is still amazing, and enjoy the groove created by Glover and Pace. Sadly, Lord passed away in 2012, and Blackmoore left the band to pursue his other projects, such as Blackmoore’s Night. Other notable members that are also once a part of Deep Purple are Rod Evans, who was the first lead vocal, David Coverdale, Nick Simpler, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, and Joe Lynn Turner.

Steve Morse is currently the guitar player in the band. He is a popular American guitarist who founded the Dixie Dregs and played guitar in bands such as Kansas and Flying Colors. Furthermore, Don Airey is an active keyboard player in Deep Purple. Airey is an English musician who has been actively touring with the band since 2002 after Jon Lord retired. Airey had a pretty successful career and played with the likes of Gar Moore, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and more.

Deep Purple and Casinos Have a Long History

One of the most famous songs by the band, “Smoke on the Water” actually mentions the Montreux Casino in one line and describes an event that took place in the casino where they were supposed to record their new album. When they arrived in Montreaux, Frank Zappa and the Mothers had a brilliant performance, until somebody decided to shot a flare gun in a closed casino space. The flare went straight for the ceiling which was covered with flammable material. Zappa had to stop the concert and the audience exited the venue as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the casino burned down to the ground, with smoke from the raging fire covering the nearby Lake Geneva, thus inspiring Roger Glover to name the song.

What came after that was a riff that is often the first thing many new guitar players learn to play, impacting generations of rock musicians after them. In other words, Deep Purple is a real institution with dozens of recognizable riffs and skilled musicians who are able to burn the place – not with flare guns, though, but only by the power of their music.

Trump Doesn’t Support Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Casino

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

A local tribe called the Mashpee Wampanoag in Massachusets was finally given federal support with House Bill 312 (HB 312). According to this bill, the tribe will be given two pieces of land that it previously owned. The land will become recognized as sovereign territory of the tribe, and it is an act that many consider noble. This Native American tribe definitely deserved it, and their plan was to build a casino on it that would attract numerous visitors from the area.

However, it could all be in vain, as there is one major obstacle that they need to overcome in order to achieve their goals, and that is the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. Trump has expressed his opinion on this and is set not to provide support for the Mashpee Wampanoag. In fact, he publicly claimed that the will put a veto on the bill as soon as it reaches the Resolute desk. Some would claim that the reason Donald Trump wants to do that is because the entire cause is supported by one of his major political opponents, Senator Elizabeth Warren. However, the problem is much larger than that.

The main problem with House Bill 312 is that it seeks to give an authorization for land given to a Native American tribe that is not listed in the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (IRA). In other words, this tribe was not federally recognized back then, and this could present a major problem for them. The Mashpee Indians managed to receive their designation in 2007, but, according to the US Supreme Court, the federal government cannot allocate land to any Native American tribe that is not recognized by the Indian Reorganization Act.

However, the problem is that there are a lot of cases of exceptions being made in similar situations. In other words, governments managed to bend the rules numerous times, and these exceptions did not have any objections. Furthermore, the land that was planned to be allocated to the tribe is only 312 acres wide. Therefore, it seems like there is too much fuss going on about what seems to be a very minor case of concession.

So what made Trump so interested in (opposing) this case? The problem is that the tribe plans on building a casino that would feature 3,000 slots, 150 table games, and a total of three hotels. Their plan is to join forces with Genting Group in order to complete their casino.

Now, Trump has a lot of powerful friends, especially in the casino industry, and it is very likely that some of them actually persuaded the President not to support this cause. The word is on the street that one of the main people to affect Trump is actually Matt Schlapp, who is a lobbyist and a presidential advisor. Schlapp is also closely associated with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, which is a company that, among others, also operates the casinos located in Rhode Island. In fact, they are the sole operator of licensed casinos in this area, with Lincoln casino being one of them. Now, the problem here is that Lincoln is only a 40 minutes ride from the area which is supposed to be granted to the Indian tribe.

At the moment, Trump seems to have succeeded with his intentions as the Democrats in the House made a decision to postpone voting on the bill so as to come up with a different plan that would allow them to proceed with the bill.

The Owner of Treasure Island LV Wants to Acquire More Properties

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

The owner of Treasure Island Las Vegas, billionaire Phil Ruffin, stated that he is interested in acquiring another property located on Las Vegas Strip. He added that he was only aiming at the properties that were owned by Caesars Entertainment Corporation and that were going to be for sale in the future.

Phil Ruffin stated his intentions in Las Vegas Review-Journal and added that his company was willing to produce up to $1 billion in cash in order to purchase some of the aforementioned properties. In fact, he added that he was willing to raise even more money and even go into debt if necessary in order to make one such purchase.

According to newspaper reports, the casino magnate is now 84-years old, and he has amassed his fortune mainly by being on the Strip where he developed various properties, including the legendary Treasure Island Las Vegas. Right now, he is closely monitoring Caesars Palace, Harrah’s and Paris as they seem to be his main targets for acquisition. They would generate annual cash flow which is estimated at $300 million.

Ruffin stated in the article that the properties he had set his eyes on had great locations and that he would have a strong interest. He added that his company did not have any kind of debt and that they would be ready to borrow money if they reached a deal with Caesars.

Moreover, Ruffin is very optimistic when he talks about the potential amount of money that his company could borrow in order to acquire Caesars properties. He claimed that they would be able to borrow the amount of money which was six times the amount of annual cash flow of any of the venues he was aiming at. However, according to SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Incorporated, a financial services firm, if such an acquisition were to take place, it would require a financial asking of more than $2 billion.

The billionaire, who was born in Kansas, is said to be worth around $3 billion. However, he has used a huge amount of his personal wealth to buy a Miami casino property last December. Furthermore, he is aiming at expanding the 21-acre venue located in South Florida with an additional $100 million investment. At the moment, he is considering the addition of 300 hotel rooms to that venue, stating that they were able to put as many rooms as they wanted but that somewhere around 200 to 300 rooms would be the limit at the moment.

Ruffin is not the only one who has his eyes set at the Caesars’ properties in Las Vegas. In fact, two additional companies are in the game for now, and they are Boyd Gaming Corporation and Eldorado Resorts Incorporated. These casino firms are very interested in buying the Caesars’ venues located on the Strip. However, neither of the companies have actually expressed an official interest, with everything being more or less at the level of speculation for them. On the other hand, Ruffin is the only one to have talked about the acquisition.

The reason why Caesars’ properties are so inviting for investors is because the company is considering selling them as it has had financial turmoils for the past couple of years. The operator from Las Vegas owns 25 gambling venues, and its shares have dropped by approximately 20% during the past year. At this point, Carl Icahn jumped in to help by becoming the largest individual shareholder in the company. Icahn is known for being very eager to merge his newly acquired properties, and the possibility of Ruffin being a potential buyer is still a valid option.

Caesars Plans a Permanent AC Sportsbook

Ryan KnuppelBy Ryan Knuppel

Caesars will debut permanent Atlantic City sportsbooks in a couple of weeks which would be a part of its Harrah’s and Bally’s Atlantic City casinos. The first of the two permanent sportsbooks will debut within weeks, and it will offer visitors of Atlantic City’s Boardwalk an opportunity to place bets on their favorite teams and enjoy watching games with their friends. This piece of news was reported by The Press of Atlantic City, which cited the info from the representatives of the company that are in the city.

The gambling giant from Las Vegas invested more than $11 million in order to develop the two permanent betting properties which would be located at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City and as a part of Wild Wild West Casino at Bally’s Atlantic City. Both casinos already offer temporary sports betting services that they launched less than a year ago. In fact, the two casinos, as well as other casinos in AC, were prepared to launch sports betting as soon as the ban was lifted. However, they immediately knew that the solution for this service was just temporary at that moment, so they immediately began preparing the permanent solution.

However, the two casinos are not the only ones operated by Caesars in AC at the moment, as there is yet another one called Caesars Atlantic City. Although it is connected to Bally’s system, this facility actually does not feature the brick-and-mortar sports betting services that are present in other to casinos run by Caesars. As a matter of fact, Caesars Atlantic City is the only casino on the Boardwalk that actually doesn’t offer any kind of sports betting services.

Harrah’s The Book is estimated to start receiving visitors within the next couple of weeks. However, when it comes to Bally’s facility, it seems that sports betting lovers would have to wait until early June to visit this facility.

The Regional President of Caesars Atlantic City, Kevin Ortzman, stated that they wanted to create a ‘category-killer’ in the AC and that they would do their best to deliver what customers and sports betting lovers had been waiting for. The wait was completed after the ban was lifted, and AC visitors were some of the most impatient bunch who were the most eager to start placing bets last summer. As of this month, they will have an opportunity to enjoy full-time permanent sportsbooks at Caesars’ facilities.

Mr. Ortzman also commented on the scale of the sportsbook that is planned to be a part of Bally’s. He claimed that the property would actually be the single largest sports betting service in South Jersey. The area of the sports book will occupy a total of 15,000 sq ft and will feature a big LED video screen that is 18 ft high and 98 ft long. The screen standing would be the central part of the sportsbook, and even people on Boardwalk who are 100 yards away would be able to watch what is going on on the screen.

One of the most interesting features of the sportsbook will definitely be the five fan caves that will offer a personalized viewing experience, including self-serving beer on taps, dozens of leather recliners, and more. The new sportsbook will allow Wild Wild West Casino to extend its offer of games as well, and, according to Mr. Ortzman, games such as beer pong, table games, video games, and shuffleboard are going to find their place in the casino. In other words, there will be plenty of fun for everyone once the sportsbooks open their doors at the casinos that are run by Caesars.
