This is where you can bet on your favorite sportsball.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n29. Binion’s Poker Room Relocation<\/strong><\/p>\nPoker was a thing at Binion’s before poker was a thing, a sentiment they should clearly steal and use in their advertisements. Binion’s has turned its former poker room into a space for arena gaming and to debut new slot machines, so its live poker area has moved to the main casino floor. The casino has erected a wall to separate the new poker room from the sports book, complete with photos from its Poker Hall of Fame.<\/p>\nOn Jan. 23, 2004, Harrah’s (now Caesars Entertainment) bought Binion’s Horseshoe. They sold it on Mar. 11, 2004, keeping the Horseshoe brand and World Series of Poker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Driverless Shuttle on Fremont East<\/strong><\/p>\nIt’s back and nobody’s at the wheel. After a short test in early 2017, a driverless shuttle (autonomous vehicle) is back for a year-long run on Fremont East. The shuttle is free, travels in a .6-mile loop and is the first of its kind to be deployed on a public roadway in the country.<\/p>\nWhile there won’t be a driver, there will be an attendant onboard at all times. It’s not about making sense, it’s about making news!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUnless we’ve miscounted, that’s 30 new things, and boy are our arms tired.<\/p>\n
We’d list more, but we’re fairly exhausted. We’re also a big fan of more doing things and less writing about things.<\/p>\n
Please note, as our day job, we work in digital marketing at downtown’s Fremont Street Experience. And, yes, we tend to put “work” in quotation marks.<\/p>\n
There are a few noteworthy new things going on at Fremont Street Experience, including a resurfacing of the mall (happening now) and an upgrade in the works for the Viva Vision canopy, but seriously, our arms are very tired and we might need them for something.<\/p>\n
If you think of anything we’ve left off our list, please send it our way so we can be duly impressed.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
