Hard Rock Las Vegas got its 2,000 seat theater approved, and there are well sourced rumors out of the UK that a holographic Elton John show is coming, with visuals reportedly being recorded this fall. The heart shaped hotel proposed for the old Skyvue site across from Mandalay Bay is now approved after FAA tweaks, with 752 rooms and a mini Fremont Street style canopy. Top Gun the attraction finally closed on a location, landing between the Little Church of the West and the Pinball Hall of Fame on the far South Strip. We also cover the Wyndham to Caesars transfer cap doubling to 60,000 points through mid September, the ongoing Joe Lombardo traffic stop fallout now that an ethics complaint has been filed and Metro is dusting a freeway sticker for fingerprints, two great new pizza spots in Metro Slice and Signora Pizza Lab, and why filming your kid at a slot machine is never funny. We close with John Mehaffey's table games survey, where the average Vegas minimum is now $17.98, Jerry's Nugget and OYO are the cheapest in town, and El Cortez has quietly become the second most expensive. Let us know in the comments where you go for cheap tables.
