Quickies: Binion's Hotel to Close ; Harrah's Moving Closer to Planet Hollywood ; LVS Macau IPO
Posted by HunterThree interesting stories breaking this morning:
Binion's to Close Hotel Tower - the legendary Downtown hotel has announced they will be closing the hotel tower and restaurant facilities as a result of the bad economy:

Las Vegas Sands raised $5 billion in an IPO for their Macanese operations:
PHo Promotion Offers Rooms in Bulk Between Now and March
Posted by HunterInteresting promotion from Planet Hollywood - you pay $600 and can stay 10 nights between now and March 2010, working out to $60 a night.
What makes this really interesting is that there are no blackout dates and the hated resort fee is waived.
For frequent visitors, these sorts of promotions could really save some money. Props to PHo for trying something like this.
PH Towers Tour Photos
Posted by HunterOn Monday, we got a tour of PH Towers, the condo-hotel-fractional-ownership building set to open in December on the Planet Hollywood property.
My photos are here: PH Towers Gallery
Along the ride for the tour was Steve Friess, who wrote it up also, as well as big-time Vegas Twitter maven VegasBill.
Thanks to @phVegas for organizing the event for Vegas Podcast-a-palooza attendees. As for that event, I'll have a post about it and the audio of the shows up as soon as humanly possible.

UPDATED: Nevada Regulators Expose Some Teeth w/ Nightclub Fine
Posted by HunterThere was a news story a few days ago indicating that Nevada regulators had decided to levy a fine against Planet Hollywood for incidents at the Privé nightclub including underage drinking and other offenses.
Today, an article in the Sun that compares the $500,000 fine with other agencies.
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jul/15/next-gaming-board-other-enforcers-look-pushovers/
Update: The gaming commission approved the fine, as expected. In addition though, Clark County has denied the liquor license application for Privé. I'm not really sure how they can survive without booze.

Strip Walk - November 2008
Posted by HunterMike_ch is back with his latest Strip Walk. This one is more in 'trip report' style as he was slummin' it down on The Strip for a few nights at The Grand.
It's a long one so grab a cup of coffee and sit back.

StripWalk - August 2008 - Planet Hollywood, Encore and More...
Posted by HunterMike Ch is back yet again - this time with a boots on the ground report from Planet Hollywood.
Our man on the scene braved the Palace of Earl to bring back some first hand intel.
As always, photos are here:
http://www.ratevegas.com/photo/gallery/august2008
Also, he linked up some photos in his post as well. Enjoy after the jump.
As an aside, I'm well aware of how bad the photo gallery sucks. I've not had the time to do much about it but I actually think that might change in the near future. Stay tuned.
