Many Timeshare Sales Booths being Removed on the Strip
Many of the timeshare sales booths are being removed from the Las Vegas Strip. Some still remain. It is easier to walk between casino properties without being approached by a timeshare salesperson offering free gifts for 90-minutes of your time. It is usually 3+ hours of aggressive selling. This is very good news.  Multiple kiosks and booths have been removed. Now they need to get rid of the “miracle” wrinkle cream salespeople.

MSG Sphere at the Venetian Construction Continues
The MSG Sphere Las Vegas is a sphere-shaped music and entertainment arena being built behind the Venetian Resort.  The 17,500-seat auditorium is now scheduled to open in 2022. It is being built in a partnership by the Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) and the Las Vegas Sands Corporation (owner of the Venetian).
