The home of the doctor that was with Michael Jackson on the day of his death was searched several times by various government authorities this week. The home of Doctor Conrad Murray was searched in Las Vegas by the DEA and another government agency on 2 separate occasions. They are looking for evidence of manslaughter as there was a trace of Diprivan (a drug that is used by prescription only as a sleeping aid) in Michael Jackson’s blood.

The autopsy results have not yet been returned to the officials but there are things that point to Michaels death being more than just a regular accident. The super star was having trouble sleeping in recent times due to all the reported excitement that he was experiencing preparing for the concerts that were coming up and the concerts that he was recently in.

The doctor did say that he was taking certain sleeping aids but the medication in question could have stopped Michaels heart from beating which would mean that this particular medication had cost him his life and killed him.

There has been quite a bit of action in Las Vegas surrounding Michael’s death. While the city is in close proximity to Los Angelos, that actually had nothing to do with the matter. There have been talks that Michael had plans to purchase a home in Las Vegas and now this situation with Michaels Las Vegas doctor.

One Las Vegas realtor is claiming that Michael Jackson had plans to build a Las Vegas mansion and call it his Wonderland. The plans said that the home would have had underground tunnels, stables with horses as well as a play area for his three children that would be visiting him often or maybe even living with him.

He said that he loved Las Vegas as it was a like a Neverland for adults and that the mansion would be similar to his Neverland home that is currently in California. The realtor mentioned that the home would need about 5 million in renovation to make to Michael Jacksons standards.

The deal was to be made after the final tour that Michael Jackson was to complete next year but obviously the plans will not be followed through as the star was more in debt than ever before at the time of his death.

The city of Las Vegas had confirmed that the story was in fact a true one as he visited many hotels on this trip to find a home and made sure to discuss his plans of relocating to the city and building this amazing home on a very big piece of land.

Las Vegas is saddened by the death of Michael and passes their condolences to the family and those mourning his loss. Would have been great to have the star make a home here and see everything that he would have done!

The title to this news article is a little misleading. Reports have recently said that their are fewer winners in Las Vegas these days and perhaps slot machines in Las Vegas and casinos have tightened up their pay schedule. We are happy to say that this is simply not the case. The truth of the matter is that there have just been that many fewer visitors to the city and to the casinos that all the casinos are reporting fewer wins.

But of course with fewer players there will always be fewer wins. After all, it doesn’t make sense that players would win at the same schedule as last year if there are less than half the amount of people playing the games.

Machines in Las Vegas and the majority of slot machines in general run on a algorithm that allows players to win at random so in reality no matter who many players play the machine will eventually go and someone will win. But the chances of winners increase as the number of players increase so if there are more players there are more winners.

Hotels and casinos in Las Vegas are feeling the lack of players and visitors as well. But those that are game players need not be discouraged. In fact now is the best time to come to Las Vegas. The hotels (and that includes all of them) are willing to except you with open arms and offer deals that haven’t been available in years and if you make an effort and talk to the casino host then you may just get that special treatment that you have always wanted!

The Las Vegas convention center has been rather slow in the summer months but this summer is a bit different. The convention center seems to be hosting one event after the next. And this does not come as a surprise since there is obviously a lack of income in the city of Las Vegas and the city is doing everything it can to drive traffic inwards.

The majority of the eastern states and other places in North America have showed to have a rather colder than expected summer which has also helped Vegas to draw some summer visitors. And while traffic is not nearly as high as it has been in previous years it is still picking up at a steady pace.

The mayor of Las Vegas was recently asked for his predictions on the recession and what will become of the lively city of Las Vegas. The answer was positive but not completely clear, the mayor said that the next few months will really test the endurance of the city and people will likely need to keep Vegas in mind when planning a vacation to make sure that the economy of the city stays afloat.

He closed his statements by saying that Vegas is a city that counts on the travel and tourism sector quite heavily to drive their economy so the more people that keep planning their Vegas vacation the better the chances of the city coming out of this okay and stronger than before.

Many cities in the US and other places in North America are complaining that this summer just isn’t warm enough. Well those of you that are looking for a vacation can surely take advantage of the beautiful weather and warm temperature that Las Vegas has to offer.

For the past year, Las Vegas revenues have been rapidly declining. Casinos, hotels, and other tourist attractions have been seeing less and less visitors, as the recession has encouraged individuals looking for fun to look for more home-based forms of entertainment. Today, Las Vegas has finally received some good luck! Reports show that casinos are seeing more business, causing many casino stocks to increase. This is the first time in weeks that Vegas casino stocks have seen any sort of action on the stock market.

Las Vegas Sands saw the biggest increase, increasing 11.28% to $7.28. This is shortly after Sands hit a low of $6.40 earlier this week. Wynn Resorts’ stock also jumped to $31.97, securing its status as one of the safest casino stocks to invest in. Investors in MGM Mirage have also seen an increase in security, as the stock has recently been stabilizing, finally closing at 5.85% on Wednesday. One of the unlucky casino stocks was Melco Crown, which rose less than 1%, bringing its price up to $4.30. But, an increase is still an increase, even if it is a small one.

Analysts predict that this is the beginning of the gaming industry’s recovery from the recession. In May, revenue from Las Vegas Casinos dropped only 8.34%. Even though profits are still decreasing, they are doing so at a far less detrimental rate. In April, revenues dropped nearly 14%, and May’s decline is nearly half, indicating good news for investors in Las Vegas casinos.

Las Vegas isn’t all casinos and nightlife. Little did many of us know that Las Vegas is home to the Pinball Hall of Fame, which houses over 1000 vintage pinball machines. The pinball museum currently sits a few miles away from the Las Vegas strip, but owner Tim Arnold has recently announced that it is being moved much closer to the action to make its existence known.

Las Vegas’ selection of interesting and unique museum includes the Hollywood Movie Museum, Guinness World Records Museum and the Liberace Museum, all of which are on the Las Vegas Strip. Now, tourists and locals alike will have another museum to explore. It’s been here all along, and now it will be much more accessible!

The Pinball Hall of Fame was opened in 2006. A completely unique endeavor, it’s out of the way location is only reason the landmark sees about 300 customers per day. Many of them are actually recovering gambling addicts looking for a substitute for casinos, while others are pinball aficionados who come from all over the country to see the vast collection of pinball machines.

Arnold doesn’t charge admission, so you can play all of his unique and historic pinball machines for free! The money he does make from the machines is donated to various charities, leading the City of Las Vegas to name him a local hero.

The new location, 1610 E. Tropicana, will be open to the public in 3 months time. So, keep an eye out for it!

The City of Las Vegas is planning on building a mob museum, which will trace and pay homage to the history of mob culture in Las Vegas. An interesting and unique endeavor, it is sadly being put on hold, as the land on which the city wants to build the museum is currently being occupied by Lady Luck.

The Lady Luck casino was closed for renovations three years ago, but there has since been very few steps taken towards fixing abandoned building. Casino Owner CIM Group has been given an ultimatum: clean it up or make way for the mob museum. They have plotted out an agreement that states the owners must start the renovations – a $100 million project that was supposed to start last December – or the land will be used to build the museum.

CIM Group can explain: the delay is due to the state of the economy. They have been trying to figure out a way to begin the expensive renovation process, but the economy simply does not allow for the company to put $100 million into one project. City officials state that they understand the economic situation and won’t reprimand them if the delays are, in fact, recession-related. However, they are aware that the old, abandoned shell that the Lady Luck has become is beginning to be an eye-sore, which could be replaced by something that would actually generate revenue for the city.

In an attempt to improve American railways, officials are planning to build a train passage between Las Vegas and Los Angeles for high speed travel between the two metropolitan giants. However, this new transportation proposal conflicts with another plan to build a “Maglev” (magnetic leviatation) train that travels between Anaheim and Las Vegas that has been in the works for 30 years.

The senator of Nevada recently voiced his support for the high speed plan, withdrawing his support for the maglev project. The plan was drawn up by DesertXPress Enterprises, which plans to build the corridor for a high speed railway based on a European style. Developing this system would greatly reduce the traffic, delays and vehicle accidents that regularly occur on the I-15, which is the reason officials are saying that this proposal is possibly the most important development in Nevada’s transportation history since the I-15 was built.

The proposed system would run on 150 miles per hour for nearly 200 miles from Victorville, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. It would cost $4 billion, a much less expensive alternative to the maglev. Although the Maglev has proven to be highly successful in many countries around the globe, including Japan, Germany and China, it is the more expensive alternative. Officials are estimating that building a Maglev system would cost upwards of $12 billion.
