She was trying to cross a rushing flood because she was afraid of losing her job. This woman told me she works Flamingo Las Vegas and feared being fired for arriving late- even with floodwater blocking her route. Flamingo: please reassure your employees that nobody needs to risk their life to make a shift.

🚨 CHARLESTON & THE 215 — AVOID THIS AREA. We just filmed three cars in the floodwater. The roadway is completely flooded, and this footage shows how bad it is. If you’re heading through Summerlin, take another route. Don’t try to drive through this. Turn around, don’t drown. 🌧️ —Jedi Rich & Jedi Joy

🌊 THE LINQ PARKING GARAGE IS A RAGING RIVER THIS MORNING. We filmed this Sunday, October 11, near the High Roller. Why does this spot flood so dramatically? The garage sits in the path of Flamingo Wash—a major route carrying storm runoff through Las Vegas. During heavy rain, water flows through the lower garage area and continues downstream. This problem goes back to the Imperial Palace days. ( Desert ground doesn’t always soak up rain quickly. Hard soil, pavement and buildings send water rushing into washes. Runoff from upstream can keep arriving even when the sky above you turns blue. ( Today’s weather adds to the problem: the National Weather Service says Rachel’s remnants and an incoming low-pressure system are bringing heavy rain and elevated flash-flood risk across the region. ( That “waterfall” is stormwater moving through a longstanding drainage route. Keep clear of the current and don’t drive through it. Did you know a flood channel runs through this part of the Strip? 👀

Thursday Night Las Vegas Strip Vegas isn’t dead. Vegas reset. Those $13 candy bars and $26 bottles of water weren’t a mistake — they were a signal. After COVID, the Strip started attracting anyone looking for a cheap vacation. It got flooded with the “cruise-ship crowd” — people complaining about drink prices, gift shop prices, everything. So Vegas reset the market. Over the last few years the Strip basically cleared out the Griswolds — the $19 room, buffet coupon, candy-bar complainers. Now the model is different: Fewer tourists. Higher spenders. The guests coming now aren’t looking for the cheapest vacation — they’re here to spend and play. And if you drive the Strip tonight, it definitely doesn’t look dead.

Sure… Vegas is “dead.” Meanwhile, inside the Bellagio Conservatory — packed every day. Here’s the reality people don’t want to admit: Vegas didn’t die… it filtered. Post-Covid, they let anyone in just to survive. Cheap rooms, chaos, TikTok fights, people crying about $20 water in the desert. Now? That era’s over. Prices went up. Vibe cleaned up. And the people who can actually afford to be here showed back up. If you think Vegas is dead… you’re probably just not the target customer anymore. And judging by the crowds — they’re perfectly fine with that.

Wednesday morning in Las Vegas and I walked through the OYO casino without seeing a single customer. Now, one quiet casino doesn’t mean Vegas is dead — and OYO certainly isn’t the Bellagio. But THIS empty? In late September, with convention season getting underway? That gets my attention. So what are we looking at here: An OYO problem… or a warning sign that the Vegas rebound is taking longer than people expected? Will Las Vegas finish 2026 strong — or are we waiting until 2027? 👀 #LasVegas #Vegas #OYO #VegasStrip #LasVegasNews #VegasIsDead

We filmed people’s belongings washing out of the Las Vegas tunnels. What looked like debris was someone’s bed, clothes- the little they had left. Now an advocate says two people may be missing. Authorities haven’t confirmed that report. I hope they’re found safe. For people living in the Las Vegas tunnels, the flood washed away the place they called home- and potentially everything they owned. Imagine being soaking wet with no dry clothes, no bedding and nowhere to go. #vegas

🎸 The Hard Rock Guitar Hotel Update: it is already changing the Las Vegas Strip and it hasn’t even opened yet. Every week this thing looks more ridiculous in the best possible way. My prediction: once it lights up, this becomes one of the most photographed buildings in Vegas. Hot take: the Guitar Hotel could become more iconic than the Mirage volcano ever was. Agree or absolutely not? 👇🔥 #LasVegas #Vegas #HardRockLasVegas

🚨 JUST SPOTTED — AND $5 MILLION IS BASICALLY THE STARTING PRICE. 😳 Turns out this is the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas in MacDonald Highlands — just 171 ultra-luxury residences, with some homes and penthouses reaching well into the tens of millions. This is the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas inside MacDonald Highlands — and apparently there isn’t much inventory left. They’re now advertising residences starting around $5 million, while the penthouse currently on the MLS is asking $35 MILLION for 8,403 sq. ft. The project says it’s already about 85% sold. 👀 And there’s NO Four Seasons hotel attached — these are 171 private residences with Four Seasons managing the property and services. I actually spoke briefly with a carpenter working on the site today. I wasn’t planning on filming this project, just checking out what I’d been seeing from the freeway. But WOW. If there’s enough interest, we’ll head back over and do a full video on what they’re building up there. Would you guys want to see it? 👀🏗️ #Henderson #LasVegas #SouthernNevada #FourSeasons #MacDonaldHighlands #VegasDevelopment #vegas

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton basically turned Las Vegas into date night with two separate residencies at the same time. No Doubt is packing the Sphere while Blake was holding it down at Caesars Palace 🎰 same Strip, same nights, totally different worlds. Blake joked about being double-booked, but honestly, this is the Vegas version of making a marriage work: you do your show, I do mine, we meet after. Honestly… it’s kind of genius. Instead of being apart on tour, they both got to work Vegas together. Gwen at Sphere. Blake at Caesars. No Doubt fans, country fans, Vegas fans — everybody wins. And tonight? The Sphere was PACKED. No Doubt is no nostalgia act. They still move a city. #NoDoubt #GwenStefani #BlakeShelton #SphereVegas #Vegas

I keep hearing that the locals casinos are outperforming some of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. So I stopped by South Point today around 11:45 a.m. on a Monday to see for myself. By the time I finished my walkthrough at 12:05 p.m., the Garden Buffet already had a line, the casino floor was getting noticeably busier, the table games were filling up, and the restaurants were humming. Maybe I’ve got an idea for the big boys on the Strip… Bring back more affordable buffets. Feed people first. They stay longer. They grab a drink, wander onto the casino floor, sit down at a blackjack table, and before you know it they’re spending the afternoon. Sometimes customer acquisition isn’t another celebrity chef. Sometimes it’s a great buffet at a fair price. South Point seems to understand that. 🎰 #vegas Do you think bringing back affordable buffets would help bring more people back to the Strip, or has Vegas moved on?

🚨 OK… TONIGHT, VEGAS WAS DEAD. 💀 I’ve spent months pushing back on the “Vegas is dead” narrative, but I call it like I see it. 3AM Wednesday morning: 🌮 Tacos El Gordo — EMPTY 🎰 Las Vegas Blvd — EMPTY 🎲 The STRAT — practically EMPTY 🍺 Even PT’s inside The STRAT was dark (local PT’s are 24/7) And before somebody says, “Dude…it’s 3AM on a Wednesday”… Wasn’t that supposed to be the whole damn point of LAS VEGAS? 😂 There was a time when 3AM didn’t matter. Food, gambling, bars, people — Vegas just kept going. So maybe the bigger question is: What happened to 24-HOUR VEGAS? Or did an entire generation somehow grow up, become responsible adults… and raise even MORE responsible kids who all go to bed at a reasonable hour? 😂 Tonight Vegas was dead. No spin from me. Old-school Vegas people — what changed? 👇 #LasVegas #Vegas #LasVegasStrip

THE LINQ FLOODED 🌊 Las Vegas | October 11 Floodwater stretches from the valet area toward Koval Lane, turning the access road beneath the High Roller into a muddy river. Debris is piled against the railings as water pours through and around it. Nearby pavement is submerged, with loose items scattered through the flooded area. Quite a Sunday morning on the Las Vegas Strip. #LasVegas #LINQ #VegasFlooding

🚨 LAS VEGAS IS DEAD! At least that’s what X keeps telling me. 😂 Apparently Hell’s Kitchen taking walk-ins in AUGUST is now the official measurement of the Las Vegas economy. So tonight — Saturday night — we tried another reality check. We were going to pull into a casino. Couldn’t. The Strip was so jammed with cars, casino entrances and parking garages that we finally said screw it… pl And before somebody says it: No, one packed Saturday night doesn’t mean Vegas has no problems. Prices are too high. Some places ARE slower. Tourism is changing. But come on… If one open table at Hell’s Kitchen proves Vegas is dead, what does bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Strip prove? 😂 Maybe — wild theory here — Las Vegas isn’t dead. Maybe people just discovered that “VEGAS IS DEAD” gets more clicks than “Vegas is changing.” Watch the drive and decide for yourself. 👇 DEAD, SLOWER, or STILL PACKED? And please… somebody explain to all these cars that they apparently came to a dead city.

🚨 CHECK THIS OUT — this is happening all over Las Vegas. Flock cameras automatically read license plates as cars drive past. Clark County reportedly has at least 200 of them, and Nevada still has no statewide law specifically regulating their use. Here’s where it gets interesting: ✅ Police can use them to find stolen cars, wanted suspects and potentially solve serious crimes faster. BUT… 👀 They also create a searchable record showing when and where a vehicle was seen. Flock says its standard retention period is 30 days. I’m not against catching criminals. Not even close. But Las Vegas is supposed to be a city where people come to feel FREE — and I think residents deserve very clear rules about how much of our everyday movement government can track. So where do YOU draw the line? Do Flock cameras make Las Vegas safer… or are we quietly building a surveillance network that has gone too far? 👇 I genuinely want to hear both sides.

Politics aside… have you ever actually stepped inside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas? 🎰 We drive past it all the time—but walking in? Totally different story. It’s quietly elite. No casino chaos, just pure elegance. The chandeliers, the gold finishes… it feels like a throwback to classic Vegas luxury. ✨ Fun fact: it was actually designed without a casino on purpose—more of a peaceful, high-end escape from the usual Strip noise. Despite what some people assume, it wasn’t about losing a gaming license—it was a deliberate choice to keep the vibe different. Gave me serious old-school Las Vegas Hilton energy—in the best way. Vegas might be evolving, but spots like this still remind you what made it iconic. #Vegas Trump Las Vegas

118° outside. 7 PM Saturday inside The Venetian & Palazzo. The internet keeps saying Las Vegas is dead. Meanwhile… 🎰 Packed casino floor. 🍸 Busy bars. 🏖️ People walking in straight from the pool. 🤍 Thousands dressed in white for the Backstreet Boys Sphere residency. The heat didn’t stop anyone. It just pushed the party indoors. This is why I always say: don’t judge Las Vegas by headlines—judge it by the casino floor. Vegas is still putting on a show. 🎰🔥 #LasVegas #Venetian #Palazzo #Sphere #BackstreetBoys #VegasIsAlive
