“Ain” that a pisser.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n20. Resorts World Opens to Raves and Financial Struggles<\/h2>\n The opening of Resort World in 2021 will be the biggest thing since the opening of Circa. This $4.3 billion resort harkens back to the days when no expense was spared and Vegas megaresorts were the envy of the world. We fully expect Resorts World to deliver an incredible resort experience. The trouble is there’s no indication demand exists for an over-the-top Las Vegas megaresort anymore. It’s awkward, but Las Vegas visitation was flat for two years prior to COVID-19, primarily due to legalized gambling across the country. A string of nightclubs have closed across Las Vegas in recent years, and Resorts World plans a big one. There are also red flags Las Vegas has more seats than it can fill for entertainment, and again, Resorts World is going all-in on its theater and high-priced talent. A lot of hopes are being pinned on sports and conventions, but it remains to be seen if Resorts World can defy the odds and usher in a new era in Las Vegas. No pressure.<\/p>\nVegas can’t resist a gamble.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n21. NBA Expansion Team Announced<\/h2>\n We’ll put this in the positive prediction column! Yep, Las Vegas is getting an NBA expansion team (that’s the basketball one), and the news will be confirmed in 2021. A dedicated arena could be built for our new team, but they’d likely play at T-Mobile in the meantime. The folks at All Net Resort and Arena still think they can lure a team, but as the financing for this project has yet to materialize, don’t hold your breath.<\/p>\nPlease make some noise for your Las Vegas Vitals! Hey, worth a try.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThat’s it. You pretty much don’t need to read a newspaper in 2021, because now you know what’s on the horizon for Las Vegas. Yes, several people still read newspapers. How about trying to be less of a smartass in 2021?<\/p>\n
We have lots of other predictions for 2021, but sort of thought a list with 21 items was fitting.<\/p>\n
We’re pretty sure Madison Square Garden will bail on its MSG Sphere in 2021. Venetian and Palazzo will be sold. Zappos, based in downtown Las Vegas, will go away in 2021, officially integrated into Amazon.<\/p>\n
We’re also going to predict Las Vegas will ban paper straws in 2021. Because they taste like rectum.<\/p>\n
Although Vegas isn’t going to come back 100% in 2021, the good news is it’s going to be much, much better than 2020, so there’s that.<\/p>\n
In 2021, folks will get back to work; public confidence will return along with a desire to take part in some serious debauchery; travel restrictions will be lifted; conventions, shows and strip clubs will come back; Vegas will get back to being Vegas again, mostly.<\/p>\n
Adios, 2020, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
