There’s no place like Las Vegas. That being said, maybe there could be? Las Vegas has always attracted tourists for gambling, for bachelor and bridal parties, birthday bashes, and impromptu weddings. The biggest attraction has always been gambling though, despite offering up amazing entertainment, restaurants, and parties.

Now here’s the thing. The gambling industry has expanded, and with it, so has the number of casinos. One such casino is one in Singapore, built by Sheldon Adelson, the owner of Las Vegas Sands. In the first year alone, his operation in Singapore raked in $1 billion. That’s a lot of gambling! Adelson also has a casino in Macau, which is pretty much the biggest hot spot for gambling right now. His latest operation in Macau cost a cool $4.4 billion, but is this operation is as successful as his Singapore operation, then he’ll make his money back and then some likely within the next few years.

It’s strange to think of Las Vegas as not being the gambling capital of the world, but it’s starting to look that way. Last year alone, betters spent $33.5 billion in Macau, Las Vegas’ biggest competition. The kicker here is that last year, betters only spent $6 billion in Las Vegas. Is this a sign of a major change in the gambling industry? Perhaps. One thing for sure though is that Las Vegas will always be a good time, and with their ever changing ways, they will remain a popular destination for gamblers around the globe.

It looks like Las Vegas won’t be the only city with an MGM casino resort if MGM can secure themselves a place in Toronto. As it turns out, MGM Resorts International really does want this to happen, as they have only started their campaign in Toronto, recently hiring lobbyists to help them.

Staff from MGM’s development team paid a visit to Toronto recently, and took a look around. It can only be assumed they liked what they saw, because they hired Sussex Strategy Group to champion their case at city hall. So far, Sussex Strategy Group has managed to gain an audience with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s staff, as well as multiple councillors and political aides. It is a slow process, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Toronto is long overdue for a casino, and there has been much debate and uproar over it. Many Torontonians do not want it, and many others do.

If their efforts pay off, MGM could soon get approval to open up shop in Toronto. MGM Resorts International will invest billions into their project, and the cost could be as high as $6 billion. MGM does not just see building a casino in Toronto; they see a heck of a lot more. They literally want to bring Las Vegas with them, and open up a casino resort with all the fixings, including hotels, restaurants, spas, convention facilities and a casino. The project would be a huge undertaking, but if anyone could do it, MGM can.

Something new cruising along the Las Vegas Strip is the ‘hangover bus’, founded by anesthesiologist, Dr. Jason Burke.

Launched this past weekend, the hangover bus is a service bus for imbibers. Literally the hangover bus, it takes on passengers along the Strip on Saturdays and Sundays to cure the hungover. One look at the interior of the hangover bus makes onlookers think of a heavenly treatment center, with cream and white interior that invites patients to relax and get a little special treatment.

The hangover bus offers IV therapy to rehydrate partiers, and also anti-nausea medicine and vitamin treatments can also be purchased. The basic IV therapy called “Redemption” is $130, but for a limited time only, is now only an introductory price of $90. For those seeking extra special treatment, there is the “Salvation”, which rings in at $150 at the introductory price. “Salvation” is IV therapy plus nausea or vitamin therapy. Treatments take less than an hour, normally from 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

Some of the stops that the hangover bus makes is Paris Las Vegas, the Bellagio and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

So the next time you get carried away in Las Vegas, check out the Hangover Bus. It may be a little costly, but the price is worth paying to cure a hangover or prevent one.
