Marcos, along with Czech President Petr Pavel, witnessed the signing of deals during the Philippines-Czech Business Forum held at Czernin Palace.

Among the agreements signed was the memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SEIPI) and the Electrical and Electronic Association of the Czech Republic (ELA).

Under the deal, SEIPI and ELA will establish a long-term collaborative relationship in the field of electronics that would include participation in the global network of leading technology and innovation centers or engagement of small and midsized companies.

The IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines, Inc. (IBPAP) and the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic (SPCR) also signed an Agreement of Mutual Cooperation to promote commercial and industrial relations.

The cooperation deal between the IBPAP and SPCR covers the exchange of better practices on policy and regulations; the development and promotion of information technology (IT) competencies; and certification or facilitation of responsible implementation of artificial intelligence.

Likewise signed was the Agreement of Mutual Cooperation between the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the SPCR to promote trade and investment between the Philippines and the Czech Republic.

There will be exchanges of trade missions, organization of trade and investment seminars, and exchange of market information between the PCCI and the SPCR.

In his speech, Marcos said the agreements mark a significant milestone in the two countries’ journey towards mutual prosperity.

“These agreements are not just documents. They are a commitment to unlocking the vast potential that lies in our partnership,” Marcos said.

“Today’s agreements also signify a very exciting step forward. They embody our commitment to complement our strengths and explore new avenues of cooperation,” he added.

Marcos said the Philippines, with its strategic location and vibrant economy, is committed to becoming a reliable partner for the Czech Republic in implementing its Indo-Pacific Strategy.

“We believe that by working together, we can achieve our shared goals of stability, economic growth, and sustainable development in the region,” he said.

Free trade talks

Marcos also asked for the Czech Republic’s support for the resumption of negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the Philippines and the European Union (EU).

He said the resumption of talks for the FTA would be a “big step” in furthering the Philippines’ trade ties with the EU member-states, including the Czech Republic.

He said the free trade deal is essential in establishing “a stable, predictable, and enabling business environment that promotes inclusive and sustainable growth and development."

The Philippines and the EU launched exploratory talks on bilateral FTA in 2013.

There were two negotiations held in Brussels in 2016 and in Cebu in 2017. Talks have been on hiatus since then.

Marcos said he also looks forward to welcoming Czech Republic companies to further discussions and potential industry cooperation during the Joint Committee on Economic Cooperation in July this year.

He said the forum aims to deepen the dialogue, explore new partnerships, and foster an environment conducive to business and investment between the Philippines and the Czech Republic.

“With mutual respect and understanding, we can forge a partnership that not only benefits our nations but also contributes to the broader goals of peace, prosperity, and stability in the Indo-Pacific Region and beyond,” Marcos said.

The Czech Republic ranked as the Philippines’ 39th trading partner, 28th export market, and 47th import supplier in 2022, with total bilateral trade amounting to USD303.21 million. (PNA)

We sipped the coffee black with a splash of cream and evaluated them for flavor, acidity, and richness. We researched the companies’ sourcing and gave points to Fair Trade, organic, and other practices that are environmentally conscious and favorable to the farmers. We also factored in prices and the range of offerings. Then, the magic was maid which is blending with cream, with a little bit of that and a little bit of this (secret formula, of course).  Voila!  Cofficery was born.

Paranaque is one lucky suburb to have tested several brands in multiple must-try, must-see, tried that and tried this, which all ended with one choice:  Cofficery, a Coffee shop + restaurant + office all rolled into one perfect concept, said Jun Polistico, King of the Philippine Ballad.

Sometimes a dark roast is too dark, or a light roast too light, but we have solved that issue, Martha, said.  Along with dark, medium, and light, we offer dark-medium and medium-light options, so there’s truly a taste for every palate. Attention to detail extends from careful sourcing, through philanthropy designed to boost conditions in growing regions — even their packaging, so you can feel good pay cup after cup.

Cofficery is not just a coffee shop, it's a full-service restaurant with an aura of an office + coffeeshop.  And, if you need coffee to do your job well, just think about COFFICERY –that’s the inspiration behind this coffee. Founded to live up to its “bold” name, Coffee + Office.  It's a sip of inspiration-infused coffee and food to jolt you and inspire your boss for your next performance review.  Take it from a Lawyer who drinks several cups of coffee and needs access to an office in a limited time.

Cofficery offers an array of chosen must-try and get ready to be addicted menus. 

Cofficery is not just a coffee shop, it’s a full gourmet restaurant.  From the more traditional (Vanilla Bean Blossom, Pumpkin Spice) to the super-creative (Caramel Apple, Maple Pecan, Coconut Creme, Peach Nectar). The cofficery uses, real spices, so you get a hit of natural sweetness in the coffee and with no fake taste.  


Cofficery is a game changer, they say.  Starbucks and CoffeeBean are popular hype, but, if you want your cup in an office restaurant with the most satisfying brew, give the trophy to Cofficery.  It’s what Carlos de Castro, interior designer of Okada and Solaire Casino Resorts, said.  The aroma, the flavor, and even the ritual can spark investment interest, said Nadia Arroyo, President of Beulah Development.

If you happen to be in Moonwalk, Paranaque, get your WAZE of Google Maps.   Don’t miss Cofficery which is located in Daang Batang and E-Rodriguez Ave Moonwalk.  Order an espresso or the double latte to discover for yourself the luscious coffee which stands to milk in lattes and cappuccino and get ready for a great shot.

The celebration marks another milestone in our community offering to build long-term participation of the Cooperatives with a positive profile.

The Ecotranzit facility assembly line in China, Morroco, and Kazakstan are gearing up for the upcoming purchase orders. EcoTranzit and Beula are also positioned to capture a greater share of the fast-growing market with the ability to quickly ramp up assembly as needed.
In 2024, Ecotranzit expects to commence distribution of other models that will incorporate advanced engineering and battery proprietary technology from modular and future-forward styling as well as telematics and performance data.

  
Transport Cooperative together with Beulah is constantly solving the complexity of fleet management by bringing together high-performance program applications. Ecotranzit features an internet-connected telemetry device that collects data between e-buses and customers to improve on-demand availability, visibility, and maintenance. Customers can use a portal to remotely adjust their customer settings before riding and even view reports on the driver’s performance when the ride is complete.

Transport experts predict that over the next decade, users of car-sharing systems may increase several times, and vehicle fleets to over four times, compared to today’s thousands.  This initiative contributes to the overall development of the community, Nadia Arroyo said, President of Beulah.


The EV Business is a push program of the Philippine Govt that is based on the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), the flagship program of the Philippines Department of Transportation.  It’s a bold approach to modernizing the aging public transport system to provide a safe and daily systematic service. The total of units that need replacement is approximately 220,000 units.


Beulah is guided by the principles of environmental preservation through the sustainable program to create a continuing cycle to further stir public awareness about environmental preservation in support of the multi-sector campaign against Global Warming. Beulah is also working on its interest in Carbon Credit.


Recently, Beulah introduced its affordable housing designed by Carlos de Castro, famed for his Okada, Solaire, and Raffles interiors.  An affordable housing for the cooperatives that do not look affordable from any angle from its solar-powered roofs from Copenhagen to non-slip tiles, organic paints, and Canadian-made prefab materials… an offering of ownership, and an equitable way to find incentive programs in the banks, said Beulah President Nadia Arroyo.  Nadia Arroyo is a real estate expert and a resident of Las Vegas.

Rather, it extends to other spectrums of our society, including the private and business sectors", he pointed out.

The ballpark will feature a partially retractable roof and a fan capacity of 30,000. Construction is estimated at $1.5 billion and will crate more than 14,000 construction jobs.

On May 24th, Governor Joe Lombardo announced a tentative agreement between his office, the A’s organization, Treasurer Zach Conine, and Clark County officials to forward a bill for consideration by the Nevada Legislature that would bring the A’s to Las Vegas. As a part of the proposed legislation, the public-private partnership includes public financing constituting no more than $380 million, which is less than 25 percent of the total $1.5 billion construction cost.

“This agreement follows months of negotiations between the state, the county, and the A’s, and I believe it gives us a tremendous opportunity to continue building on the professional sports infrastructure of southern Nevada,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “Las Vegas is clearly a sports town, and Major League Baseball should be a part of it.”

The tentative agreement is being drafted into legislation that will be introduced in the Nevada Legislature in the coming days to be publicly debated and considered.

“From the minute we stepped onto the Tropicana site nearly two years ago, it was immediately obvious what a fantastic fit it would be for a new A’s ballpark in Las Vegas,” said A’s director of design and owner of Schrock KC Architecture, Brad Schrock.

A's President Dave Kaval said, “We are excited to share our vision for the A’s potential new home. As our first conceptual design, we will continue to refine the look and feel of the ballpark over the next year. We hope our project goes beyond a traditional ballpark and serves as a catalyst for community development and engagement. It follows in the footsteps and success of the professional sports teams that come before us, in creating union jobs, stimulating economic growth, and fostering investments in the community."

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding over $4.5 million to Nevada to expedite the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites that are abandoned or underutilized due to pollution from industrial use. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these sites can help communities access new land for economic development and increase their local tax base. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that was signed into law by President Joe Biden in November 2021.

Oftentimes, brownfield sites lack the resources needed to initiate cleanup and redevelopment projects on polluted or contaminated land. Through EPA’s Brownfields Program, Nevada will receive funding for the following sites:

• $2,000,000 for the City of Las Vegas: This grant will be used to clean up Symphony Park, the largest brownfield site in Las Vegas. Remediation will position the site for redevelopment into a cultural center.
• $1,517,000 for Mineral County: This grant will clean the Babbitt Housing Area, a site originally built to house Naval Ammunition Depot workers and their families.
• $498,750 for the City of North Las Vegas: This grant will be used to conduct environmental site assessments in Downtown North Las Vegas, focusing on former gas stations, auto shops, and sites with chemical contamination.
• $500,000 for the Northern Nevada Development Authority: This assessment grant will support redevelopment for new housing and for industrial, commercial and public services in Northern Nevada.

For this year's Small Business Month in May, we decided to feature Cristina Reding, who is the founder of Aroma Retail and recently named to Inc. Magazine’s Female Founders 200.

Cristina Reding is the owner and CFO of Aroma Retail, which provides environmental scenting solutions for homes and businesses, including pure grade fragrance oils used by world-class resorts. Recently named to Inc. Magazine’s Female Founders 200, Reding founded Aroma Retail in her kitchen in 2017 and has grown the business to more than $5 million in annual revenue and 25 employees.

From growing up in Romania and touring the world as a professional ballet dancer to climbing the ranks as vice president and corporate trainer at a bank to holding a PhD in special education where she also teaches educational methodology courses at UNLV, Cristina has continued to reinvent and thrive in a variety of industries.

1) What inspired you to start Aroma Retail?

It started with what I thought was just going to be a little side gig, completely separate from my career as a banking executive and professor at UNLV. My husband was developing custom scents used at many resorts here in Las Vegas and hotel chains across the country. He was getting frequent requests to make scented products to put in the resort gift shops. From there, we figured out how to make candles, room sprays, and reed diffusers on our kitchen counter in the evenings and started filling orders for the resorts in 2017.

I soon realized that there was a growing public demand for better scenting solutions for every home and business using pure grade fragrance oils that the resorts use. These fragrance oils are unique because they do not contain synthetic toxins or volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) like pollen that cause allergic reactions – this is why the resorts could diffuse scent in public spaces without the public’s consent. In 2018, I launched the first website where anyone could purchase pure grade fragrance oils with scent machines like the ones used at their favorite hotel, along with other scented products using that same fragrance oil. It wasn’t long after that when I realized this was a much bigger opportunity that required my full attention. Today we have 27 employees and a 13,000 square foot factory with a Smelly Bar open to the public.

2) What were the biggest challenges you faced when starting your business, and how did you overcome them?

Transitioning from my career to being able to focus on my business fulltime was scary. I am not one to do something half-heartedly, and both required a lot of time and energy. At the same time, the business was presenting opportunities that required a lot of financial investment that required personal sacrifice and daunting risk. It took a lot of strategic planning to prioritize the opportunities that yielded the quickest return with every bit of the profits going back into growing the business. Once it got to the point where I could start hiring employees, I devoted myself to making sure that those employees would always have a job. There was no turning back at that point, and soon both I and my husband were dedicated fulltime to Aroma Retail.

3) How do you stay ahead of the competition and remain relevant in the market?

Innovation with a focus on the customer is the only sustainable competitive advantage any company could have. Competitors will always be able to mimic your product if you are not constantly improving it and offering more variety.

Being responsive to customers is key. While I have a dedicated team of Customer Care Agents, they are not the only ones that answer the phone during peak time.  We have a rule that “the third ring is for you.” We also hold ourselves to a standard of shipping all orders within 24 hours. This requires constant cross training for every employee so we can have “all hands on deck” whenever and wherever needed, whether that means getting caught up on production, getting hundreds of orders out the door in a few hours, or answering customer inquiries.

4) Can you share a pivotal moment or decision that significantly impacted the success of your business?

That pivotal moment was when I was told I had to close my business for the pandemic. That is when I realized that you have to fight to defend your employees’ jobs and take care of your customers, no matter what. We leased more space so that we could spread out the work stations, and set up a drive-by sniffing system in the parking lot since customers could not come in to The Smelly Bar. It paid off better than I expected, because now I have a very loyal team of tenured employees and was able to grow my customer base exponentially by keeping our commitments.

5) What advice would you give to other aspiring female entrepreneurs who are looking to start their own businesses?

Go for it! The resources and support for women entrepreneurs are exceptional and plentiful. Join boards and organizations that can offer value and save you time.  Get certified with WBENC (Women's Business Enterprise National Council) – they are the real deal; they make sure that you are not just a name on an LLC and that you are actually running the business, but once you are a member you are able to connect with big buyers that are prioritizing diversity.

Most importantly, do not get ahead of yourself. Do not go into more debt than you could handle with your current resources, and do not give away equity in your company until you have a clearly defined strategy that can only come after doing the heavy lifting yourself. Owning a successful business that you built with your own blood, sweat and tears requires grit, but the rewards include a sense of pride that cannot be described. Be prepared to sacrifice and fight for it.

• Industrial production rose 0.5% in April, after no growth in the two previous months.
• Output is basically flat over the past year.
• Higher interest rates will be a drag on the industrial sector this year, with a recession leading to a decline in output in the second half of 2023. Output should start to recover in 2024.

Industrial production rose 0.5% in April from March, after holding flat in February and March. Industrial production was up 1.0% in January, but declined late last year, and so output is roughly equal to where it was in mid-2022.

Manufacturing output rose a solid 1.0% in April, with mining output up 0.6%. Utilities output fell 3.1% in April due to unseasonably cool weather.

On a year-ago basis overall industrial production was up a scant 0.2%, with manufacturing output down around 1%, mining output up almost 6%, and utilities output down slightly.

The capacity utilization rate rose to 79.7% in April from 79.4% in March, with the manufacturing rate rising to 78.3% from 77.6%. The capacity utilization rate is down from mid-2022; this, along with easing supply chains, has contributed to much slower goods inflation this year compared to last.

The industrial sector is stagnant. Mining output soared in 2022 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and spiking energy prices but has been flat since the fall. Manufacturing output is down from mid-2022 as high interest rates and spent-up demand for goods, after consumer goods purchases soured during the early stages of the pandemic, have been a drag. The ISM manufacturing index indicates a small contraction in that sector this year.

PNC expects a drop in industrial production, particularly in interest-rate sensitive segments like durable consumer and business investment goods, as the U.S. economy experiences a mild recession starting in the second half of this year. Production should start to turn around in the first half of 2024 as the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates in response to slowing inflation and a deteriorating labor market.

One positive in the report was a 9.3% increase in output of motor vehicles and parts in April from March, despite high interest rates, as supply-chain problems continue to recede in the industry.

Nevada State College announced its spring 2023 graduating class has 895 students who will earn degrees in psychology, business, education, speech-language pathology, criminal justice, and nursing.

Founded in 2002, Nevada State College has 7,162 students in its undergraduate and master’s programs. Seventy-seven percent of its student population comes from a culturally diverse background and 56% of the population are first-generation students. Since 2020, Nevada State College has seen a significant increase in the Hispanic graduation rate climbing from 20% to 34% in 2022. Following spring commencement, the college will surpass 7,700 alumni.

“We are proud of Nevada State’s continued growth and expansion over the past two decades and our 900 students graduating this spring,” says Nevada State College President Dr. DeRionne Pollard. “The diversity of our student population continues to grow, and we are proud to serve and provide quality and affordable higher education to our diverse student body with a majority of students of color, first-generation, immigrant, non-traditional and transfer students.”

Dean Gettman is the CEO and founder of Platinum Contracting of Nevada, a Las Vegas-based full-service general contracting firm who specializes in underground utilities. Dean oversees the firm’s operations including business development and project management, spearheading its expansion to over 30 team members and the completion of more than $20 million in projects throughout Las Vegas within the span of five years. Dean is also the president of Lake Las Vegas Lake Management, LLC.

1) What is the current state of the underground utilities industry in Nevada and how do you see it continue to grow?

As the Las Vegas home market continues to grow, the need for underground utilities grows with it. Having the proper infrastructure in place for a growing Las Vegas region is imperative. With an average influx around 6,000 new residents per month, there is a dire need for reliable and efficient utility distribution systems.

The current state of the underground utilities market is stable and trending upwards. With the introduction of federal programs like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program funding, we anticipate the need for underground utilities to only increase in the coming months. Especially the need for properly installed power grids. If the grid cannot sustain demand the situation will become critical, as we've seen in such states such as Texas and California.

2) What kind of trend are you seeing in the underground utilities industry in the Western region states and do you think Nevada will follow them?

We are seeing more and more states mandating underground utilities, slowly eliminating the install of above ground or overhead utility installations. Cities who have implemented underground utility ordinances such as, Ft. Collins and Colorado Springs, Colorado and Anaheim, California, are reporting 99.9 percent reliability rates and some with more than a 97 percent reduction in electric outage minutes.

Nevada seems to be following suit with almost all new community developments implementing underground utilities. Not only are these installations more reliable, but they are also safer, reducing the likelihood of weather damage, damages caused by equipment and overhead lines and the need for maintenance.

3) What do you see as the demand for underground utilities from real estate developers and residents in Southern Nevada?

More and more developers are pushing for underground utilities. Aesthetically, they are more appealing when entirely hidden from view. It also reduces the risk of inclement weather knocking down overhead power lines, potentially damaging homes or causing outages.

Elevate Your EDC Experience: Nourish, Energize, and Explore with Confidence

As the highly anticipated Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) draws near, Community Ambulance, the medical provider for the event, is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of festival-goers.

With our extensive expertise in event and emergency medicine, we want to share invaluable tips on how to make the most of your EDC experience while prioritizing your health and safety, particularly during high-temperature conditions and long festival days.

Prioritizing Your Well-being

To optimize your EDC experience, it is essential to prioritize your well-being from the outset. Start now by nourishing your body with a well-balanced diet and staying hydrated in the coming days and into the festival. Proper nutrition and hydration play a vital role in sustaining energy levels throughout the event, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the festivities.

Staying Hydrated and Taking Breaks

Maintaining hydration levels and taking periodic breaks are key to safeguarding your health and vitality during EDC. We recommend regular visits to the conveniently located water stations to replenish fluids and prevent dehydration. If you are thirsty, it means you are behind in keeping hydrated. Additionally, taking breaks to rest is crucial in combating fatigue and avoiding overexertion, ensuring you have the stamina to enjoy the entire event.

Safety and Emergency Preparedness

At Community Ambulance, the safety and well-being of festival-goers are our top priorities. Take a moment to establish a “meet up” spot with your group, as cell phone signals may be limited during the event. Familiarize yourself with essential facilities such as water stations, medical tents, stages, and shuttle stops, enabling you to navigate the festival grounds with ease. If you or those around you need help, don’t be afraid to approach uniformed personnel and ask. Our team of highly trained medical professionals is there to help and will be readily available to provide assistance and ensure your safety throughout the event. We encourage that if you “See Something. Say Something.”

Glen Simpson, Sr. Director of Community Ambulance, emphasizes the importance of a safe and enjoyable EDC experience, stating, “EDC is a one-of-a-kind event that brings together music, art, and a vibrant community. As warmer temps move into the area this week, it’s important to take care of one another. As the medical provider for EDC, our goal is to ensure festival-goers have an amazing time while prioritizing the well-being of those in attendance.”

Community Ambulance is committed to providing exceptional medical services and fostering a safe environment for all EDC participants. By following these recommendations, you can elevate your EDC experience while safeguarding your health and well-being.

New Figures Featured at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and New York 

Three-time, GRAMMY award-winning artist, philanthropist and entrepreneur Megan Thee Stallion has officially welcomed her two wax figures at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and Madame Tussauds New York. 

Extra, extra read all about it because her latest figure in Vegas is savage in a fierce newsprint catsuit and matching cowboy hat with fingerless gloves. The outfit was inspired by her photoshoot that promoted her critically-acclaimed album, Good News. 

Megan’s New York figure bodied that, ate it up and gave it back, as she’s posed on her side laying down in a donated diamante bikini and matching cowboy hat, gauntlets and choker. The new figures were revealed at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on a colorful and interactive set featuring a magical, metallic 10-foot stallion. 

“I feel like people always ask me when was the moment you knew you were famous? This is the moment!,” said Megan Thee Stallion. “There are two versions of me in the most famous wax museum on the planet. Like who am I?!? Them!” 

Hailing from Houston, Megan Thee Stallion has earned two Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits with the “Savage (Remix)” featuring Beyoncé, and “WAP” with Cardi B and delivered additional iconic hits, such as “Big Ole Freak,” “Hot Girl Summer”, “Body,” and “Thot Shit,” among others. Most recently, she released her dynamic album “Traumazine” in August 2022.

Over the course of her illustrious career, Megan has been recognized for her musical achievements, including three GRAMMY wins, nine BET Awards and back-to-back Billboard Music Awards for “Top Rap Female Artist.” Additionally, she has been honored for her advocacy efforts, having received the 2022 Special Achievement Award at The Webby Awards and the Trailblazer Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Megan made history in Nov. 2022, becoming the first Black woman to appear on the cover of Forbes’ prestigious Under 30 issue.

“We couldn’t have hoped for more ‘Good News’ than the addition of not one but two Megan Thee Stallion wax figures into our Las Vegas and New York attractions,” said Madame Tussauds Head of Marketing, Matthew Clarkson. “Everybody here at Madame Tussauds loves her music, confidence, style and star power which serves as an inspiration to so many.”

A team of about 20 skilled artists took approximately six months to recreate Megan’s likeness in each of her new wax figures. At the sitting, more than 200 measurements were captured to ensure 100% accuracy. Her eyes, hair and skin were also color-matched from samples. Then, 10 layers of oil-based paints were applied to the figures to create realistic skin tones. In fact, real human hair was individually inserted into the wax including the eyebrows and eyelashes. The hair was then cut and styled to match the desired look. 

Megan’s figures will be available to the public exclusively at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on May 20 and Madame Tussauds New York beginning June 1.

We’re sure you already know this given you chose Spectrum Internet for your home network, but having a fast, secure internet connection is crucial for our everyday needs.

Even the fastest internet connections, like Spectrum, are not always reliable or quick to respond. 

Therefore, you must keep your internet at home updated and clear of any underlying problems if you want to ensure that it continues to operate properly and steadily. To begin the process of troubleshooting at home began, all you need are a few useful tools and some advice. 

In this article, we’ll look at how to troubleshoot your Spectrum Internet network and resolve a few small connectivity issues that could crop up over time.

Tips to Troubleshoot Your Spectrum Internet on Your Own

Here are some useful tips for you to try if you want to troubleshoot your Spectrum connection at home without any professional help:

Monitor the Signal Strength

Once you are positive the issue is with your internet connection and not the device, check the WiFi whether there is more bandwidth entering your home than you need. Speed testing can easily take the role of signal strength checks. In various locations, check your ping and speed. Record any areas that have noticeably slower download and upload speeds or higher pings than others as you gradually walk away from the router. 

Restart or Reset Your Modem/Router

Restarting your router is the first thing you should do if there is a problem with your internet signal. To maintain the functioning of your router, the majority of service providers also suggest that you restart your Spectrum connection at least once every two weeks or so. 

When you want to restart your router, plug it back in after a few minutes of being left alone after unplugging it to turn it off. A hard reset is the term for this procedure. Keep in mind that this step almost always resolves internet problems, so do not omit it.

Try a Different Place for Your Router

Relocate your wireless network if your home has dead spots as shown by bandwidth or signal strength testing. A Spectrum router being taped to the wall close to the point where service enters your home is not at all unusual. Try using a longer internet cable or wire and shifting your router to a more convenient spot. Simply clearing the area around your router of clutter, such as books, will improve signal strength and reduce interference. Additionally, improved airflow helps keep the router from overheating.

Connect with Multiple Devices 

Checking to verify if the problem is actually with your internet network or just the device you are using is the first and most crucial step. Therefore, try connecting several devices and determine whether the connectivity issues affect all of them or just a few of them. To test whether the problem is with your device or the internet itself, for instance, if you are having trouble with the bandwidth that comes with Spectrum bundles, you should think about connecting your tablet, laptop, or any other smartphone.

Similarly, if a website won’t load, try another to determine if the problem is with the server alone. If you can browse other websites flawlessly, the website you are trying to view probably has a problem, therefore you will have to wait for them to resolve it on their end. If there isn’t a known outage, the issue can be with your browser’s cache. To see if it fixes the connection problem, you might want to try visiting the website in a private browsing window or using a different browser.

Try Various Sites & Channels

There may be several other WiFi networks nearby if you are experiencing radio interference. Even though some routers can automatically identify interference and select clean frequencies, not all of them are extremely good at doing so or adapting to shifting circumstances to do so. One of the aforementioned WiFi Analyzer applications can be used to analyze the radio environment, and after that, you can manually change your router’s settings to a less crowded channel.

Double Check the Cables & Cords

Another tip that may be useful is to make sure the modem/router is turned on and that all the cables are firmly inserted first. Check all service cords, and make sure your laptop, modem/router, and all other devices are attached to the wires firmly. All wire cords eventually age and become brittle, possibly necessitating replacement. The internet can be restarted with just a simple reboot if none of these lines have been physically harmed.

Wrapping Up

Spectrum Internet is a high-speed internet service provider that offers a variety of digital services, such as phone, TV, and internet. Even the best service providers, nevertheless, occasionally experience device failures, power outages, connectivity issues, etc. It is highly possible that if you try to troubleshoot your internet on your own at home, the connectivity issue will be addressed.  If not, you can consult with Spectrum to upgrade your plan or get some better Spectrum deals. 

All in all, Spectrum offers a number of services across the USA. If your internet service continues to malfunction or behaves differently than usual, we advise that you check with the provider to determine if there is an outage in the region.

Las Vegas is, without a doubt, the haven of land-based casinos.

Aside from gambling, Las Vegas is a popular spot for its many attractions that visitors can engage in. Popular Las Vegas activities include gambling, shooting with machine guns, cruising in Ferraris, partying, ziplining, pool lounging, shopping, riding the high roller, exploring the Titanic exhibit, visiting museums, and much more.

Las Vegas was among the first cities to embrace gambling, with its early casinos opening their doors in the early 1930s. Since then, players have won fortunes, and others made losses. We shall share helpful strategies you can apply to avoid losses while gambling in Las Vegas casinos.

Gamblers that Won in Las Vegas Casinos

Every punter’s dream is to win big someday, and a few have hit the jackpot while playing slots in Las Vegas. These big wins occurred within a single spin. Other winners have been recorded in brick-and-mortar and online casinos across the globe as well. However, we will cover some of the biggest wins in Las Vegas ever recorded:

The above stories are very seductive. But what to do if you can’t visit Vegas? You can find an equally atmospheric internet platform. Popular site https://polskiesloty.com/darmowa-kasa-za-rejestracje-bez-depozytu/ contains the best no-deposit bonuses, which will make the start of the game almost free. Of course, some players registered small wins daily, and others lost. It all boils down to the strategy you employ playing.

Strategies to Employ to Avoid Losing in Las Vegas Casinos

Employ the below strategies to minimize your losses playing Las Vegas casinos:

• Shorter plays.
• Bonuses, promotions, and discounts.
• Secure winnings.

By following these strategies, you can enjoy your time at the casinos in Las Vegas while keeping your losses to a minimum.

Longer Plays Translate to Bigger Losses

You can feel much safer by participating in shorter but more strategic games. The probability of losing is minimized when playtime is shorter. Remember that the house edge is designed to secure the casino from losing money over the long haul. Therefore, the system will work against you if you play for longer periods.

Stats do not lie, and it is worth mentioning that the average gambler will lose $500 per trip. This, however, does not mean you should stop gambling altogether. Gambling is a form of entertainment, and you could be a winner of a life-changing amount.

Take Advantage of Discounts

Discounts and bonuses are often brushed off by gamers, but these can help keep a check on your bankroll. In fact, players have been able to land huge winnings from playing slot machines using free spins in hand. Remember also to capitalize on the offers in off-strip Las Vegas Casinos. They offer reduced table minimums and have a reduced house edge. These casinos guarantee longer playtime and a better probability of winning.

Secure your Winnings

Often, we focus on losses and neglect winnings. If you are ahead of the casino, then such winnings should be well-guarded. Keep all major wins in a place you can never touch. This could mean returning the money to your account and completely forgetting about it. It could also mean handing it offers to your trusted mate for safekeeping. With that secured, continue to play with what had been budgeted for.

It is also important to know when it’s time to stop. Always walk away after to land a significant win. You risk losing if you continue to play.

What Casino to Visit in Las Vegas?

Options are endless regarding where to gamble in Las Vegas. If seeking a luxurious space with various gaming options, visiting the iconic MGM Grand and Caesars Palace will suffice. You might also desire a bit of a low-key environment area but with an excellent gaming experience. If that is the case, then the Golden Nugget or the Downtown Grand are ideal places to visit. Feel free to visit the other 60-plus casinos to have a feel and enjoy your favorite games. You can also visit other attractions within Las Vegas, as mentioned earlier.

The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes sought-after GRAMMY-Award-winning pianist Emanuel Ax to Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall on Thursday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m.

His mix of technical precision and lustrous lyricism has earned him a reputation as one of the most beloved concert pianists of our time.

“The New York Times” raved, “Ax … played with youthful brio, incisive rhythm, bountiful imagination, delicacy,” while the Seattle Times extolled, Ax “…has a way of seeming to enfold every listener in a metaphorical embrace.”   

One of the most prolific and widely respected concert pianists in modern symphonic music, Ax’s crisp moves from fast, bombastic stretches to slow, contemplative passages deftly interpreting Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and others. He has worked with orchestras in L.A., Boston, Atlanta, New York, Nashville, and Montreal. He has recorded more than 20 discs for RCA Records and has been an exclusive Sony Classical recording artist since 1987. 

Ax has received GRAMMY® Awards for the second and third volumes of his cycle of Haydn’s piano sonatas. He has also made a series of GRAMMY-winning recordings with cellist Yo-Yo Ma of the Beethoven and Brahms sonatas for cello and piano. In the 2004/05 season, Mr. Ax contributed to an International EMMY Award-Winning BBC documentary commemorating the Holocaust that aired on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. 

In 2013, Mr. Ax’s recording “Variations,” received the Echo Klassik Award for Solo Recording of the Year (19th Century Music/Piano). He was also the winner of the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in 1974, the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists in 1975, and the Avery Fisher Prize in 1979.  

Ax is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and holds honorary doctorates of music from Skidmore College, New England Conservatory of Music, Yale University and Columbia University.

Tickets are $20-$50 each (discounts may be available) and may be purchased by telephone at 702-895-ARTS (2787), online at pac.unlv.edu or at the PAC box office from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday.  When purchasing tickets, consider donating to the Performing Arts Center to provide local students the opportunity to work with all the outstanding artists.

The Performing Arts Center is hosting this concert in honor of Charles Vanda, who served as Director of Concert Hall Programming and then Director of the UNLV Performing Arts Center from 1975 until he died in 1988. Vanda wrote and produced radio and television programs and was a colonel in with Army Intelligence during World War II, then led the Hollywood office of the J. Walter Thompson Agency before coming to UNLV.

Executive Director Lori Cobo and the staff at the UNLV Performing Arts Center dedicate this concert to the memory of local arts patron Bernice Fischer, who passed away in November 2022. Her love for the arts in Las Vegas and her joyous spirit will be missed.

The Performing Arts Center at UNLV is participating in Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6), the most comprehensive economic impact study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry ever conducted in the United States. Administered by Americans for the Arts, AEP6 will examine the economic impact of the arts and culture in Clark County and 386 additional communities representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Concertgoers will be able to complete a survey to assist in this study of the economy and the arts in Clark County.

When visiting the Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall to see Emmanuel Ax, be sure to check out the free and special exhibit featuring 12 pieces of art from the collection of artist and beloved UNLV professor, Rita Deanin Abbey, located in the lobby of the concert hall.

Every poker player has stories galore, but few have used them to write a page-turner book like Joan Destino, author of the novel River Card. She will share her writing and poker experience at the Casino Collectibles Association’s 30th annual casino chip and collectibles show.

Described as the world’s largest show of casino collector’s items, the annual souvenir spectacular is open to the public at the South Point Hotel and Casino June 15 -17 in Las Vegas.

A kindergarten teacher in Boston, Destino moved with her husband in the early seventies to the Los Angeles area where she participated in the UCLA Writers’ Program for several years, culminating with several semesters in their Master Novel Writing Class. After playing tournament Bridge for years, she began playing casino poker in the mid-eighties. She bought a second home in Las Vegas in the mid-nineties and moved there permanently when her husband retired in 2004. Joan plays both cash and tournament poker.

River Card chronicles the life of a businesswoman, wife, mother…and gambling addict. It weaves a story ranging from the depravity of 1940s Germany to the glamor and baseness of 1990s Las Vegas. Attendees can pick up an autographed copy at the show.

Joan Destino will greet those attending the World’s Largest Casino Chip and Collectibles Show on day one, Thursday June 15, from 10 AM to Noon at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 15 -17, 2023.

The World’s Largest Casino Chip and Collectibles Show is open to the public and offers the greatest collection of casino memorabilia, souvenirs and keepsakes ever assembled in a single location. 

Attendees will be able to browse souvenirs of nearly everything casino related, including gaming table chips, slot machines, slot cards, tokens and glass, dice, playing cards, matchbooks, menus, dinnerware, swizzle sticks, post cards, photos and more. Over 50 worldwide dealers will be on hand to offer attendees the unique opportunity to examine, buy, sell, or trade casino collectibles.

The Casino Collectibles Association is a club with over 1,000 members who passionately share the hobby of collecting and preserving the past. Show registration and admission is open to the public June 15, 10 AM – 5 PM (admission $10), June 16, 9 AM – 4 PM (admission $5) and June 17, 9 AM – 4 PM (admission is free). 

Event location is Exhibit Hall C at the South Point Hotel Casino, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, Nevada. Download high resolution photos of the world’s largest casino chip and collectables show at https://www.ccgtcc.com/publicity/cca_show_2022.html

Shredding is an easy way to decrease the chances of your personal information being stolen and used for fraudulent activity.

All proceeds/donations from the event will benefit the non-profit Serving Our Kids Foundation.

Where: 6040 S. Jones Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89118

When: Saturday, Apr 22, 2023, 9 AM – 12 PM* (or when truck fills)

Thank you to its partner and Accredited Business, Assured Document Destruction, for providing shredding services.

What can be shredded and details:

ONLY PAPER.

• Up to 4 Boxes for FREE per vehicle; each additional box is $10.00
• No electronics, trash, biohazard material, Xrays, binder clips, binders, etc. (these items will cause the shredder to catch fire).
• No staying to watch the shredding process (this causes major traffic backup).
• For everyone’s safety, please remain in your vehicle and open your trunk so we can remove the paperwork.
• The BBB does not dispose of boxes, the contents will be emptied, and the box will be returned.

For those who can’t make the event on Saturday the 22, you may come by the BBB offices Monday, April 17th, during normal business hours and drop off your recyclable material into their secured storage bins.

Why Protect your ID and Shred?

Destroying documents that contain sensitive information could help protect one from identity theft. Identity thieves are not above dumpster diving to get their hands on personal details, like your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, etc.

If you throw your documents away without first destroying them or making them unreadable, an identity thief could easily retrieve them from the trash and use the sensitive information to open new accounts, apply for credit cards or loans, and make unauthorized purchases in your name. They could also use the information they find to target you with social media scams, including phishing and other types of fraud.

These days, there are many different options for playing slots online, and the visuals are so good that it almost seems like you’re at a genuine casino. Many individuals use the internet as their preferred platform for playing slot machines. 

There are numerous websites that offer bonus codes and reviews of online slot casinos. They effectively give players thorough information about all the games and possible payment choices before joining. These websites have free games and instructional information on the most well-liked slot machines, providing much of the same thrill as physical casinos. So what precisely makes online slot games unique? Learn more about them by looking at these five key advantages.

1. Wide Range of Games

The variety of online games that are available to slot players draws them in. The top online gambling sites are interconnected to offer a lot of slots, making it impossible for gamblers to play them all at once.

Also, players have the option of selecting from a variety of pay lines, reels, and themes. Five to six pay lines are seen in contemporary online slots. Online gambling sites are easier and quicker to set up than land-based casinos.

2. Provide Simple Payment Options

By playing slots on Situs Slot gacor, you don’t need to bring along a lot of cash, unlike at real-world casinos. You may select the best or most convenient payment option among the various online casinos.

You can access various electronic payment options to deposit and place wagers conveniently. In addition to transporting large sums of cash out of the casino, you may withdraw your earnings using electronic payment methods, which are safer.

3. Rewards and Bonuses

Playing slots online also offers the opportunity to increase your winnings through bonuses and other rewards. This excellent incentive and strategy is used by many online casinos to entice gamers to their gaming platform. Every gamer aspires to make the greatest money and enjoy themselves the most.

Thus, the extra sum is a thoughtful gift. Several casinos provide incentives to gamers who sign up for their online slot machines as an extra incentive. Sometimes, it is based on how frequently a player accesses the online gaming platform. The use of money, free spins, or more chips as incentives can motivate players.

4. Convenience 

The simplicity of playing slot games online is a fantastic perk. When you want to play a game, all you have to do is sign up online. Instead of driving to a physical casino, you can quickly access the game you want to play because of how comfortable it is. Also, mobile slot games provide players the convenience of playing the game from their smartphone wherever they are.

5. Higher Payouts

Studies have shown that online slot games pay out more than 97% in various denominations, compared to an average payout of 86% for games played in brick-and-mortar casinos. A few games in land-based casinos could have higher slot denominations. Not all slot denominations give the same payoff rate, so keep that in mind. You may choose the perfect game and get a real casino experience while playing online, all from the convenience of your home.

Conclusion

You may play various casino games on Situs Slot gacor, whenever and as often as you desire. You must pick the best and most reliable websites if you want to enjoy playing at an online casino. You may utilize these websites whenever you wish to play casino games online because they are all readily available to you via your technological gadgets.

Nevada Ballet Theatre (NBT) closes its 2022-2023 Performance Season with the Las Vegas premiere of Septime Webre’s The Wizard of Oz, supported by Presenting Sponsor, Light & Wonder.

Running from May 13 through May 21 at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts with ten performances, tickets from $35.95 (plus fees) may be purchased by calling The Smith Center Box Office at (702) 749-2000 or by visiting www.nevadaballet.org. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.

Since its inception, The Wizard of Oz has enjoyed national and international impact with successful performances, widespread acclaim, worldwide press recognition, and record-breaking sales through performances in Winnipeg, Kansas City, Denver, and Cincinnati.

Deemed a truly magical experience by audiences and critics alike, Choreographer Septime Webre has fashioned an eye-popping journey to the Emerald City that is both heartfelt and adventurous. Like Webre’s Alice (in Wonderland), premiered by NBT in 2019, this remarkable ballet comes to life through stellar stagecraft, fanciful costumes and rich character development.

“This exuberant production is the perfect close to our 2022-2023 Season,” said Artistic Director Roy Kaiser. “Rich in colorful choreography and joyful musicality, Septime’s creative genius will be on full display, and we can’t wait to welcome him and his team back to Las Vegas once again,” said Kaiser.

Making this Las Vegas premiere possible is a Presenting Sponsorship by respected and worldwide gaming brand, Light & Wonder. “We are extremely grateful for the generous support of Light & Wonder for our Las Vegas premiere of The Wizard of Oz,” said NBT President & CEO, Beth Barbre. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to creatively align our brands and we look forward to working with Light & Wonder to bring a magnificent theatrical experience to local audiences.”

As part of this unique partnership, Light & Wonder employees will have the chance to attend the final performance of The Wizard of Oz on Sunday, May 21 as part of a special “Light & Wonder night.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Nevada Ballet Theatre to celebrate the long-standing relationship we have with the Wizard of Oz franchise,” said Tracy Skenandore, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Light & Wonder. “Just as meaningful to us is NBT’s focus on educational programs for youth, and we look forward to finding ways to build upon this great work to continue fostering the arts and investing in diverse communities in the months and years to come.”

Adding to the excitement and grandeur of this production, over 20 students from NBT’s affiliated school, the Academy of Nevada Ballet Theatre, will be featured in the roles of Poppy Seeds, Grasshoppers, and Baby Ballerinas.

“As part of our mission to bring one-of-a-kind performance opportunities to our students, The Wizard of Oz provides yet another way to experience the thrill of performing while learning stage direction, theater etiquette, and artistic collaboration,” said Director of Education, Terane Comito. “Through this exciting production full of color, choreography, and special effects, we hope to inspire local children including those who will be attending our free school matinee and Kids Night out at the Ballet as part of NBT’s Community Education efforts.”

EDUCATION: School Matinee Series & Kids Night Out at the Ballet

All week long, school-aged children and their families can enjoy a variety of activities including interactive presentations, hands-on technology workshops, STEM movie nights, and behind-the-scenes tours of popular local attractions such as Shark Reef and the Bellagio fountains. Those unable to attend the activities during the week can visit the Giant Science and Technology Expo for a full day of unique and engaging science-themed experiences and educational entertainment like robotics demonstrations, meet and greets with animals and local scientists, as well as a chance to see some of the giant fossils discovered right here in Nevada.

“Nevada has such a rich history when it comes to science, technology, engineering and math,” said Alexandra Liebman, director of the Las Vegas Science and Technology Festival. “Since 2011, we’ve been able to showcase various STEM projects, companies, and groups throughout town. Whether they’re hosting an event or are exhibiting at the Giant Science and Technology Expo, the Festival is a great opportunity for businesses to get involved and offer resources, activities, and opportunities for our youth to learn more about their organization, what they do, and the science or technology they utilize.”

New this year, the Las Vegas Science and Technology Festival will award $1,000 to the CCSD school that has the most students and families attend the Giant Science and Technology Expo.

All festival events are free and open to the public. Registration is now open and required as participation for some events is limited and based on availability.

Alive— Pearl Jam Tribute

Friday, May 5

Paying homage to one of the greatest and most unique rock bands in history, Alive recreates the sound, energy and intensity of an early 90's era Pearl Jam concert. Lead singer and Las Vegas native Erik Tovar bears a striking resemblance both visually and sonically to a young Eddie Vedder as he delivers a powerful recreation of vocals, mannerisms, and presence, sometimes seemingly possessed by the spirit of the legend himself. 

The power and spontaneity of the show transforms the concert space into the closest thing to a Pearl Jam show that can be experienced — a place of passion, mysticism, and emotional depth. The band brings classics such as “Alive,” “Even Flow,” “Black,” and many more to the stage with a combination of passion, precision, and instinctual chemistry. 

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets start at $19.95 plus taxes and convenience fees and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000; online at www.cannerycasino.com; or in-person at Cannery.

He is a cast member of Legends in Concert, The Rat Pack is Back, and The Price is Right Live!

Tom Stevens
The charismatic Tom Stevens is heralded by his growing legion of fans as the best singer-impressionist performing today. His enchanting show has garnered the reputation as the Las Vegas show that audiences want to return to again and again.

Stevens, a native New Yorker, began his career appearing in clubs on the East Coast. His incredible likeness of Dean's looks and crooning abilities astounded not only Dino's fans, but the people who knew Dean when he was Dino Crocetti, provided Tom with return engagements to headline the festival for all the years to come.

Every Sphere Experience will be Designed Exclusively for Sphere and Fully-Maximize Sphere Studios' Next-Generation Technologies to Transport Audiences to Places Both Real and Imagined

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (“MSG Entertainment”) has announced “Sphere Experiences,” one of the core content categories to be featured at Sphere, the Company's next-generation entertainment medium opening this fall in Las Vegas.

Sphere Experiences will launch this fall with a first-of-its-kind immersive production – Postcard from Earth. All Sphere Experiences, including Postcard from Earth, will utilize the full breadth of the venue's 22nd century technologies.

Audiences can be among the first to experience the new world of Sphere when tickets for Postcard from Earth go on sale on Wednesday, April 12 at 10:00AM PT.

“We are redefining the future of entertainment through Sphere,” said James L. Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO, MSG Entertainment. “Sphere provides a new medium for directors, artists, and brands to create experiences that cannot be seen or told anywhere else, and Sphere Experiences are just one of the ways we will use the venue's technologies to engage the senses and transport audiences to places both real and imagined. Postcard from Earth will set a new bar for multi-sensory storytelling possibilities, and we look forward to having audiences experience it at Sphere this fall.”

Sphere Experiences, which will be the result of collaborations between Sphere Studios – Sphere's in-house creative and production studio – and acclaimed storytellers and creatives, are original immersive productions designed exclusively for Sphere.

As the first Sphere Experience, Postcard from Earth will utilize the full breadth of Sphere's technological capabilities to create a multi-sensory storytelling journey, providing audiences with a first-of-its-kind shared experience at an unparalleled scale.

Each Sphere Experience will be approximately 60 minutes in length, and productions are slated to run multiple times per day, year-round.

Sphere's 22nd-century technologies include an LED display inside the main venue bowl that wraps up, over, and around the audience, creating a fully-immersive visual environment. At 16K x 16K, it is the highest resolution LED screen on earth, and guests will feel like they have traveled to new worlds without ever leaving their seats.

Through Sphere Immersive Sound, the world's most advanced concert audio system, Sphere will deliver crystal-clear audio to every guest, no matter the size or type of event. This system will utilize a variety of technologies, including beamforming, which enables audio to be directed to specific locations at a volume that remains consistent – from point of origin to destination.

This system allows multiple forms of content to be delivered simultaneously – meaning two people sitting in different seat sections could hear completely different things, such as different languages or instruments – expanding the possibilities for truly customized listening experiences. Sphere's audio system will also allow sound designers to create a virtual point of origin, and place it in a precise spatial location – meaning audio can be directed to the listener so that it sounds close, even though the source is far away – imagine a character “whispering” directly in your ear.

Sphere will also feature multi-sensory 4D technologies that enhance the storytelling experience and make audiences feel like they are truly somewhere else. This includes 10,000 immersive seats with an infrasound haptic system that will use deep vibrations so guests can “feel” the experience – such as the rumble of thunder or a roaring motorcycle. Sphere will also utilize environmental effects to rouse the senses – this includes changing temperatures, the feeling of a cool breeze, or familiar scents – and help audiences conjure the feeling of “being there.”

Production of Postcard from Earth is currently underway and will offer a unique perspective on the magnificent beauty of life on Earth. Postcard from Earth will debut to the public at Sphere at The Venetian in October, and tickets will be available for sale beginning on Wednesday, April 12 at 10:00AM PT at thespherevegas.com. For groups of ten or more, please call 725-258-7775.

Best Casinos In Las Vegas 

There are lots of casinos in Las Vegas. However, we have carefully selected 7 of the best casinos that offer awesome bonuses like 20 euro no deposit bonus casino, and what most gamers are looking for when playing at a casino.

Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

Wynn Las Vegas provides visitors with an abundance of opulence and entertainment. You're guaranteed to live in style since Wynn Resorts has more 5-star Awards on Forbs than other leading hotel brands in the world.

In addition to resort lodging, food, and leisure, Wynn is regarded as one of the top casinos in Las Vegas. Wynn's galleries are lined with lovely furnishings, so you may play in lavish surroundings. A large selection of high-limit lounges, table games, slot machines, a sportsbook, poolside gambling, and a famous poker room are all available at the casino.

Red Rock Casino

Without the stress of Las Vegas Blvd, Red Rock Casino has a sophisticated, opulent vibe and everything you might want in a resort. The casino is as big as any on The Strip, with a poker room, sports book, and bingo hall.

Before you can do anything else, you must join the “Boarding Pass”, the Red Rock Casino's players club. The pass provides access to food and beverage discounts across the resort and is accepted at all of the facilities' 15+ station casinos.

Green Valley Ranch

Locals visit Green Valley Ranch to get a hint of sophistication and a dash of refinement, but they can also enjoy a traditional Las Vegas casino getaway in an array of clubs and lounges that can be commonly obtained in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard. Hank's Fine Steaks will serve you a perfectly shaken martini with your Barolo glass.

With your boarding pass, you may enjoy bottomless bubbles for Sunday brunch, $1 oysters every Tuesday, and aromatherapy in their prestigious spa. The whole family will shop in the district, play the Marco Polo game in the backyard pool, or watch a movie in the theatres.

MGM Grand

The renowned MGM Resorts International business owns the MGM Grand Las Vegas casino, which is a fantastic option for all gamblers. The casino here also has a $1/$2 No Limit poker area called “Hold'em capital”. These are all the necessary hints for you. Poker isn't the main attraction at MGM Grand, even though the low-stakes activity there is rather brisk. You can find plenty of different types of gaming fun right here.

Hundreds of slot machines, well-known 88 Fortunes and Heidi's Beerhouse may be found on the casino floor. With denominations ranging between $0.01 to $1,000, MGM Grand meets the demands of all players in terms of stakes. This casino can accommodate you if you want to play some large spins.

ARIA Resort & Casino

The luxurious casino at ARIA Resort & Casino offers a variety of gaming possibilities in addition to award-winning hotel rooms with breathtaking views of the metropolitan skyline.

One of the state's most distinctive high-limit slot rooms, SPIN, is located inside ARIA Resort & Casino. SPIN, a high-limit room, features a separate space for ticket exchange and machines worth over $5,000. Also, there are private restrooms and a restaurant area with waiters.

Suncoast Casino

Because Boca Park and Tivoli Village are competitors of the Suncoast, their restaurant prices are set to draw locals, and their slot machines appear to be loose. Their Connected Player's Club offers discounted courtesy bonuses to enjoy the following:

• Lunch at the buffet,
• Dinner at Salvatore,
• Breakfast at Dupar's.

The Time Out Arcade, bowling alley, and movie theatres are great for families, and the adults may play 18 golf holes before their everyday social hour from 4 to 7 p.m.

This casino is situated in Summerlin, close to Boca Park's easy restaurants and shops of Tivoli Village. Also, the resort is only a pitching wedge away from TPC Las Vegas, TPC Summerlin, and Angel Park golf courses.

Conclusion

If you want to have fun in Las Vegas while enjoying your best games at a casino, there are plenty of them to choose from. In particular, for your first vacation, our list was carefully curated to provide you with the finest experience to date. You can also conduct your study, and if you like playing poker, this city offers more than you could have ever imagined.

The Vegas Junior Golden Knights announced on April 6 that Bodie McGaughey has been named the recipient of the 2023 Mark Workman Scholarship.

Created in memory of the late Vegas Golden Knights amateur scout, the Mark Workman Scholarship is awarded to a student-athlete 14 years old or older in the Vegas Junior Golden Knights program who best exemplifies passion, sportsmanship, team play, work ethic, discipline, volunteerism and academic merit.

McGaughey is a Las Vegas resident who played for the 18U AAA Vegas Jr. Golden Knights this season and is a senior at West Career and Technical Academy. Introduced to the sport during the NHL Golden Knights’ inaugural season, McGaughey learned to play in eighth grade and made a travel team for the following year. He credits hockey for motivating him academically so his parents would allow him to play, and for instilling confidence and determination that have helped him beyond the rink.

“Bodie is a shining example of the qualities we know hockey can help instill in our kids,” said Darren Eliot, Vegas Golden Knights Senior Vice President of Hockey Programming and Facility Operations. “His work ethic has helped make him a leader among his peers, and his love for the game was clear in his application essay. It is an honor to recognize him as this year’s Mark Workman Scholarship recipient.”

Away from the rink, McGaughey is an honor roll student who has been recognized at West Tech for overall outstanding citizenship and as the student of the month. He volunteers with the Central Church food drive and youth group and has helped coach in the Lifeguard Arena Lil’ Knights program and house league. He plans to attend Colorado State University and study zoology. 

McGaughey and his family will be in attendance at the Vegas Golden Knights game Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings at T-Mobile Arena. He will be a guest on the FOX Sports Las Vegas pregame show and will be featured during AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain’s television broadcast.

“Winning this scholarship means the world to me, and I’m proud to be a part of something that carries on Mr. Workman’s legacy,” said McGaughey. “I care about this sport more than anything and have spent the last four years doing everything I can to succeed; this is proof that hard work pays off. Hockey changed the direction of my life, and I pray that it will always be part of my life.” 

Mark Workman passed away February 14, 2018, after a short and courageous battle with cancer. He was a passionate hockey man who dedicated his life to the game.

In addition to his involvement at the amateur, collegiate and professional levels, he gave much of his time to youth hockey and to the growth and development of the game.

He was proud to represent USA Hockey through his volunteer work at their spring and summer development camps. He loved working with young hockey players, and he cared deeply about their growth and personal development on and off the ice.

Mark Workman Scholarship Recipients

• 2023 – Bodie McGaughey
• 2022 – Jack Edlin
• 2021 – Not awarded (COVID)
• 2020 – Noah Smejkal
• 2019 – Emily Kline

Multi-Platinum, CMA Award-winning entertainer Jordan Davis today announced his DAMN GOOD TIME Tour, which will kick off this August (8/31) in Atlanta at the Roxy before heading to Nashville on Labor Day Weekend (9/1), Philadelphia (10/5), New York (10/6) and Boston (10/7), before wrapping in Las Vegas at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, in October (10/21).

Tour openers include Kameron Marlowe and Avery Anna.

Public on sale for all shows will begin Friday, April 14, 2023 at 10 a.m. PST.

The American Songwriter Cover Star recently brought hit songs “What My World Spins Around” to The Talk, “Tucson Too Late” to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and his current hit single “Next Thing You Know” to TODAY. The performances showcase some of what fans can come to expect on the upcoming tour and are off his highly-anticipated and critically acclaimed current album, Bluebird Days. The DAMN GOOD TIME Tour marks the latest in a series of milestones including his fifth career No. 1 at Country Radio, sold-out headlining dates at the Ryman Auditorium and across the U.S., CMA and NSAI Song of the Year wins and a recent iHeart Award nomination. 

Featured by The Tennessean, Billboard, and more, Bluebird Days debuted to rave reviews, with  Billboard noting “Davis soars on ‘Bluebird Days’” and Entertainment Focus echoing, “Jordan Davis comes of age on new album ‘Bluebird Days’ and shows the world the type of mature, meaningful and melodic songwriter he is.” The 17 song album includes Davis’ recent multi-week No.1 “What My World Spins Around,” and breakout hit, “Buy Dirt.” Written by Davis along with his brother, Jacob Davis, and brothers Matt and Josh Jenkins, the 2X Platinum hit “Buy Dirt” garnered numerous accolades including Song of the Year at the CMA and NSAI awards, as well as Billboard, AMA, iHeart and ACM award nominations and has more than 820 Million streams to date. 

Having solidified himself as one of the industry’s top singer-songwriters, 2022 marked a breakthrough year for Davis. In Bluebird Days, the award-winning singer and songwriter continues that momentum- allowing listeners to take a deeper look into his past and what has made him one of the most in-demand hitmakers in the industry through a combination of new tracks and fan favorites.

Bluebird Days is a “rich, deep, meaningful album” (Entertainment Focus) that digs deep into Davis’s personal experiences and offers a wide range of emotions, meditations, and memories, matched by his signature sound blending traditional and contemporary genres and styles. “It’s not just the lyrics…it’s the way he summarizes life, love, family,” notes Taste of Country.

“It has been an amazing feeling to watch the way this new music has reached fans, and we’ve been seeing that out on the road in the live shows,” says Davis. “Our fans knew every lyric to ‘Next Thing You Know’ even before it was a single, and to watch the sold-out venues get bigger and bigger….I’m just so grateful everyone has been so supportive.” Earlier this year Davis shared with American Songwriter, “The big thing for me was to show my growth. Growth in shows, growth in the songwriting, growth in the topics we’re touching on. I really wanted to show how I’ve changed as an artist and a songwriter, for the better.”

That growth is reflected in his upcoming DAMN GOOD TIME headlining run, where Davis will play his largest venues to date as a headliner. For a full list of tour dates and ticket sales information, visit www.jordandavisofficial.com.

Published before National Stress Awareness Month, the book is designed to help users re-focus in order to minimize stress 

Mingo Health Solutions, a behavioral health service provider in Las Vegas for the past seven years, has released its Youth and Adult Therapeutic Coloring Book. The book has two versions, one for adults and the other for youth, and is available through the Mingo Health Solutions website.

This therapeutic, interactive book includes inspirational quotes, affirmations, crossword puzzles, blank space for journaling and other activities to help users center their minds and release stress. 

The therapeutic coloring book was released in time for April, which The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognizes as National Stress Awareness Month. Stress has been found to be a serious health risk. One American Psychological Association survey found that 27% of respondents admitted that most days they were so stressed they could not function. 

“They make great gifts. I got [them] for my family and let me tell you, they are not your typical coloring books … I started coloring and before you know, I had completed a page,” said Nancy Swanson, who recently purchased the books. 

“Coloring books can help to relieve stress, are fun, and help with practicing mindfulness, among other benefits,” said Niakeya Mingo, lead community health worker for Mingo Health Solutions. “In creating a coloring book, we wanted something that was a little lighter, something that could take away from the heaviness of dealing with some mental health concerns.” 

The book is available through the Mingo Health Solutions website for $20.

Yesterday, Ovation Development announced a new 195-unit below-market rent affordable housing development for seniors whose income falls below 30, 50, and 60 percent of area median income. The project is located on the northwest corner of Pebble Road and Eastern Avenue. The construction is expected to start in the fall with completion planned for early 2025.

The project will consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments. The amenities at this affordable property will be on par with market-rate properties, including a swimming pool and jacuzzi, game area, hair salon, gym, outdoor courtyards, and community gardens.

The 5-acre parcel is being conveyed to the County from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act and will in turn transfer the land to Ovation.

The County provided $11.8 million in funding for the project, including $10 million in Welcome Home Community Housing Fund dollars and $1.8 million in Country HOME funds.

The County provided $11.8 million in funding for the project, including $10 million in Welcome Home Community Housing Fund dollars and $1.8 million in Country HOME funds.

Special guests at the ceremony included U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning, BLM Nevada State Director Jon Raby, and HUD representatives.

"Our community has a dire need for affordable senior housing," said County Commissioner Naft. "That's why Clark County is investing significant resources in our Welcome Home initiative to increase the options for individuals in need of assistance. I want to thank our partners in the federal government, Alan and Jess Molasky of Ovation, Coordinated Living of Southern Nevada and our staff for helping to make this project a reality for the betterment of our entire community."

The Welcome Home Community Housing Fund initiative was created on April 5, 2022 by Clark County to address the urgent need for housing for low-income residents. On September 6, 2022, the County Commission approved funding of nearly $120 million to fund multiple affordable housing new construction and rehabilitation. Funded projects can be viewed on the County's website.

According to the County officials, there is currently a shortage of more than 85,000 homes for low-income and very low-income residents who earn less than 50% of area median income. To address the need for more affordable housing, the Welcome Home funds are also being used to create a community land trust, and the County is planning a future funding round for permanent supportive housing projects.

The Las Vegas Rotary Club celebrated its 100th anniversary with a special event held at the historic Fifth Street School in downtown Las Vegas on April 1st. The event was attended by members of the club, distinguished guests including Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony, and members of the community. Founded in 1923, the club is dedicated to civic and community service, supporting thousands of organizations  and donating millions to Las Vegas-based service efforts.

Throughout the evening, guests had the opportunity to learn more about the club's achievements over the past 100 years, as well as its current initiatives and goals for the future. Through its annual Santa Clothes program, the club has donated over $1.6 million in goods and services to more than 6,300 local children in need during the holiday season, providing at risk children with new clothes.

When the program launched 27 years ago, it provided clothes for 35 children with a budget of $5,000. Last year, the organization shopped for 348 children on a $114,000 budget. The 2022 event was in partnership with its sponsors Engelstad Foundation, Speedway Children’s Charities and all of the Southern Nevada RotaryClubs.

“The program has become a tradition for our Club, as it has grown into our most significant and successful annual charitable giving program,” said Caty Crockett, president of the Las Vegas RotaryClub. “Helping spread joy to children in need during the holidays is a gift to each of us. Giving back to our community and local children is at the core foundation of our values, which is why our goal is to always lend a helping hand wherever we can.”

Nevada Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony spoke passionately about the impact that the Las Vegas Rotary Club has had on the community and thanked the members for their dedication and commitment to service over the years. Keynote speaker Jack Sheehan conducted a presentation about the history of Las Vegas and his book "Quiet Kingmaker of Las Vegas: E. Parry Thomas".

The event also featured a silent auction, with proceeds going towards the club's ongoing charitable projects. One of the many service organizations the club has supported is the Salvation Army. Last year, over $20,000 was donated to their food pantry, which equates to 200,000 cans of food benefiting those in need.

In honor of its centennial anniversary, the club has donated $104,000 to The Smith Center, extending its educational efforts in support of local youth across five programs for the next two years. The evening concluded with live music and entertainment.

According to the Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR) March 2023 report, the median price of existing single family homes sold from its Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in Southern Nevada was $425,000, identical to the previous month and down 7.6% from March 2022. It’s also down from the all-time record price of $482,000 in May of 2022.

By the end of March 2023, LVR reported 4,196 single family homes listed for sale without any offer, up 109.3% from March 2022. A total of 2,962 existing homes, condos and townhomes sold in March 2023, down 27.8% for homes and down 35.6% for condos and townhomes from the same time last year.

The number of distressed sales remains historically low. Short sales and foreclosures combined accounted for 0.9% of all existing property sales in March 2023.

“Southern Nevada was one of the first places to experience this recent shift in the housing market,” said 2023 LVR President Lee Barrett. “It seems logical to me that we may also be among the first to come out of this recent slowdown. Our median home price hasn’t changed since December. Local home prices had previously been declining by 1 or 2% per month. This may be a sign that we’re near the bottom of this cycle.”

In March 2023, total transaction value for existing homes was more than $1.2 billion, down 33.1% from the same time last year.

LVR’s data was collected through its MLS, which does not account for all newly constructed homes sold by builders or homes for sale by owners.

Food Served on the Titanic
The passengers on the Titanic, which famously sank on April 15, 1912, were served a variety of meals during their voyage. The type and quality of the food served largely depended on the class of ticket purchased.

First-class passengers enjoyed luxurious and elaborate meals prepared by a team of skilled chefs. They were offered a variety of options for breakfast, including eggs, bacon, and pastries, as well as a selection of fruits and cereals. Lunch and dinner menus typically included a variety of soups, salads, seafood, and meats, along with a selection of desserts.

Second-class passengers were served simpler meals than first-class, but still had a good selection of food. They were offered a range of dishes such as vegetable soup, roast beef, and boiled potatoes.

Third-class passengers had more basic meals, which were served in a communal setting. They were served porridge or oatmeal for breakfast, and for lunch and dinner they had soup, stew, and potatoes.

The Titanic also had several cafes, snack bars, and a la carte restaurants where passengers could purchase additional food items like sandwiches, pastries, and ice cream. Source: OpenAI

First Tour Since 2018

For the first time since 2018, Pixies will be heading out on a massive, multi-leg, 40-plus date North American tour that heads to Encore Theatre at Wynn in Las Vegas May 12-13. It’s set to be the finale for the band’s 2022-2023 World Tour, which is in support of their latest album, the critically-acclaimed Doggerel, released this past September via BMG.

Even with the new tunes, one Pixies show is never the same as the next as the band changes their set list every night, pulling from the vast catalog, and with setlist decisions made onstage, so it truly promises to be a special show.

While Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late ’80s alt/rock movement, having blazed the trail for artists from Nirvana to Radiohead to Pearl Jam, today, a whole new generation of music fans are discovering their iconic “loudquietloud” signature sound.

Since the late 1980s, they have been releasing music that has been as confrontational as it is exciting and pop-savvy. The band has breathed life into some of the most iconic songs of our time: “Monkey Gone to Heaven,” “Here Comes Your Man,” “Hey,” “Bone Machine,” “Wave of Mutilation,” and “Where Is My Mind,” the Pixies’ song that is as epic as was the final scene of the controversial film was featured in, “Fight Club.”  

Yet they’re still ready, willing and able to mix it up. Their latest album Doggerel boasts a couple of “Pixies firsts”: As opposed to building rough song ideas in the studio, as has been the band’s years-long norm, frontman Black Francis turned up to these sessions with 40 new songs prepared.

Plus, guitarist Joey Santiago – for the first time in some 35 years – contributed his first two Pixies songwriting credits, with music for “Dregs of Wine” and lyrics for “Pagan Man.”

Recording it during the pandemic also played a pivotal role – the downtime prompted Black Francis to enter the studio with new songs, Joey to try his hand at writing Pixies music, drummer David Lovering to both perform his beloved card magic and play his kit better than he can ever remember, and bassist Paz Lenchantin to do copious amounts of surfing, hiking, movie-making, and expanding her business horizon.

“Cali Squeeze is a fruit-forward beer of today, reflecting the laid-back, uncomplicated expectations of a new generation of beer drinkers. A California beer infused with freshly squeezed California fruits, all powered by California sunshine.

Our commitment to clean, renewable energy begins with our 9.7-acre solar array, ensuring that most of our beer is brewed with 100% California sunshine.

That solar array helps to offset roughly 3,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually.

It is not just about finding ways to use renewable energy; we are always looking to eliminate as much waste as possible. One of the ways we do this is by making sure that our raw materials are ordered and delivered in bulk to minimize packaging waste. We send roughly 10,000 pounds of spent grains to local farmers to feed their livestock.

Water is a precious resource, and doing our part to preserve and conserve water is vital. Through an investment in local reservoir sourcing, we save roughly 5 million gallons annually. We have also implemented a custom water reuse system that treats our runoff and returns the water to the local aquifer.

500,000 gallons of water are recycled annually through our reuse system and 35 million gallons of water are treated annually on-site.” (Via Cali Squeeze website.)

About Siegel’s Bagelmania
Siegel’s Bagelmania is a modern-day Jewish delicatessen and bakery in Las Vegas that has been serving up the finest authentic recipes since 1989.

It’s a local hidden gem behind the glitz and glamour of The Strip, where the “who’s who” of Vegas gather for from-scratch recipes and house-made bread, bagels, and pastries.

The restaurant features around-the-clock breakfast and lunch inspired by Jewish deli staples as well as catering for private events. The 10,000 sq. ft. flagship location is next to the Las Vegas Convention Center and pays tribute to an old-school family-centric dining experience.

With 200 seats in a spacious dining room, a private dining room that can be rented out for parties or special events, an outdoor patio with cooling misters, a full bar with slot machines, an expansive to-go delicatessen and bakery with a pop-up display of Las Vegas’ famous Pinkbox Doughnuts, Bagelmania is a destination for visitors and locals alike.

Las Vegas is synonymous with extravagance and excess, but there’s much more to this vibrant destination than meets the eye.

While the Strip may be the city’s most well-known attraction, it’s the hidden gems and offbeat experiences that truly capture the spirit of this one-of-a-kind destination. An array of distinctive and unexpected attractions, such as the mesmerizing art installation crafted entirely from boulders and a unique park constructed using recycled shipping containers, call Las Vegas home and are just waiting to be explored. Let’s uncover five of the best off-the-beaten-path destinations that will take your Vegas experience to the next level.

The Neon Boneyard and Museum

Nestled in downtown Las Vegas, the Neon Museum is as unique and captivating as the city it calls home. It boasts over 200 vintage neon signs, many of which date back to the 1930s, providing a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the history of the Entertainment Capital of the World and its iconic neon lights.

Wandering through the Neon Museum’s two-acre outdoor exhibit space is an experience not to be missed, especially for those exploring Las Vegas on USA tour packages. Transporting visitors to a bygone era of Las Vegas glamour and glitz, the museum’s collection of classic casino marquees and retro motel signs is a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors that will leave you spellbound. Among the highlights are the Stardust sign, the Moulin Rouge sign, and the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, an enduring symbol of the city for decades.

If you’re planning a visit, keep in mind that not all of the signs in the Boneyard are lit up during the day, so visiting at dusk is the way to go. This way, you can snap some photos before it gets too dark and then watch as the neon lights of the signs come to life against the inky sky. Trust us. It’s a sight you won’t want to miss!

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area provides a breathtaking escape from the city’s bustle. Located just a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip, it spans over 195,000 acres of stunning desert landscape, including towering red sandstone formations, ancient petroglyphs, and a diverse range of plant and animal life.

Visitors to the conservation area can take in the stunning natural beauty on a scenic drive or hike one of the many trails, ranging from leisurely strolls to challenging hikes offering spectacular views of the mountains and canyons. Climbing, biking, and horseback riding are also popular park activities. The best times to visit are in the spring and fall when temperatures are mild and the wildflowers are in bloom.

The Mob Museum

The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, more famously known as The Mob Museum, is a must-visit attraction for anyone curious about the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Housed in the historic former federal courthouse and U.S. Post Office building, it gives visitors an inside look at the notorious mob and its influence on Sin City and beyond.

Inside, visitors can explore a variety of exhibits featuring artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays that cover the Prohibition era, the rise of organized crime in Las Vegas, and the FBI’s battle against the mob. Notable exhibits include the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre display, showcasing the bloody aftermath of one of the most infamous mob hits in history, and the Kefauver Hearings exhibit, which documents the televised hearings that helped expose the extent of organized crime in America.

One of its most popular exhibits is the courtroom where some of history’s most notorious mob trials took place. Visitors can also try their hand at interactive experiences in a simulated shooting range and a high-tech crime lab for some forensic analysis.

Seven Magic Mountains

Seven Magic Mountains, located just outside of Las Vegas, features seven towering pillars of brightly colored boulders stacked atop one another. A striking and unforgettable sight in the middle of the Nevada desert, this vibrant art installation was created by renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone and was originally intended to be a temporary exhibit. However, due to its overwhelming popularity, the structure has been extended indefinitely, drawing visitors from around the world.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Seven Magic Mountains is also significant as a symbol of human interaction with the natural environment. The colorful rocks represent a harmonious balance between the natural world and human intervention, inviting visitors to contemplate the relationship between art, nature, and humanity.

Container Park

Downtown Container Park, a unique open-air shopping center, is both innovative and eco-friendly. The park’s industrial-chic vibe is thanks to its use of recycled shipping containers, which have been transformed into shops, restaurants, and entertainment spaces. With a variety of offerings, it’s the perfect destination for a day or night out with family and friends. Visitors can indulge in artisanal ice cream or savor a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich while enjoying the children’s playground and various interactive art installations.

What makes the open-air shopping center truly special are its sustainable features, allowing visitors to learn about green living and environmental conservation while enjoying a unique shopping experience. It was constructed using around 40 recycled shipping containers and 43 modular Xtreme Cubes, modified to enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, the park’s eco-friendly design allows for the repurposing of these structures in case of future dismantlement.

Discover the Hidden Gems of Las Vegas

Las Vegas is constantly pushing the boundaries, and while the Strip is its flashy centerpiece, a wealth of hidden gems is waiting to be discovered. Beyond the neon lights and crowded casinos, you’ll find a world of wonders as diverse as it is intriguing. The breathtaking natural landscapes of Red Rock Canyon, the eco-friendly innovation of Downtown Container Park, and world-class museums are some of the most exciting places to explore in Sin City. Next time you’re here, take a break from the norm and explore the unexpected – it’s where the real magic happens.

Delirious Comedy Club is the perfect destination for locals and tourists alike. With a lineup of top-notch, professional comedians, guests can expect to laugh until their sides hurt at the only full-time, professional comedy club in Downtown Las Vegas.

“We want to provide a venue for comedians to perform and for people to enjoy great, cutting-edge comedy,” said the club’s founder, Don Barnhart. “Our goal is to make Delirious Comedy Club the premier destination for comedy in Downtown Las Vegas.”  

Don Barnhart is a comedian who has been making audiences laugh for over three decades.

Don Barnhart adds, “Great comedy can sometimes offend, especially to those that may be too close to the target of ridicule or whose sensitivities are already on high alert. Audiences must suspend disbelief to enjoy themselves instead of going to a ‘comedy show’ looking for a cause to defend.” Barnhart jokes, “If you’re easily offended or have an agenda, you’re really missing the point and should probably stay at home.”

For those who are easily offended, Barnhart’s Family Friendly Dry Bar Comedy Special is available on YouTube, Peacock, and more.

Spiegelworld and Caesars Entertainment commence construction of DISCOSHOW at The LINQ Hotel + Experience

It was called Disco Demolition Night. On July 12, 1979, a major league baseball promotion was spearheaded by Chicago radio announcer and anti-disco campaigner Steve Dahl. He encouraged spectators to turn up to Comiskey Park to add their disco vinyl records to a pile that Steve would blow up between games. The whole event exploded.

After the stunt, thousands of people stormed the field and a riot ensued, fueling a backlash against the disco era.

But disco never died, and today in Las Vegas it fought back with a vengeance. Spiegelworld’s Impresario Extraordinaire Ross Mollison took the first swing of a sledgehammer into the walls of the former Imperial Palace sports book, which has been dormant since 2014, to make way for the company’s eagerly anticipated DiscoShow.

“Over 40 years ago, conservative factions of the sporting world swung baseball bats at disco,“ Ross Mollison said. “Ironically, today disco is fighting back to make way for a fantastic celebration of the music and joyfully defiant legacy that lives on today.”

DiscoShow will open in Las Vegas in the summer of 2024 in the new Spiegelworld Glitterloft, located on the Las Vegas Strip at The LINQ Hotel + Experience. 

Once demolition is completed over the next few weeks, Spiegelworld and Caesars Entertainment will spend the next six months fitting out the DiscoShow venue which will include a transformative live entertainment space, bars and a diner.

The live show will be unlike any other entertainment in Las Vegas. The audience will be invited to step inside the action with the characters who were there at the birth of disco; into their lives; on the streets; at the club; encouraged at every moment to lose themselves in the music and on the dancefloor.

The creative team includes acclaimed director and choreographer Steven Hoggett (Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Once – West End/Broadway).

In October 2021, Spiegelworld and Caesars Entertainment announced a multi-million-dollar deal to create three, all-new live entertainment experiences at Caesars resorts in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and New Orleans. 

First up, opening this summer, The Hook resurrects the historic 1929 Warner Theatre on the Atlantic City boardwalk and will contain a new resident Spiegelworld show, the second Superfrico restaurant and a multitude of cocktail bars at Caesars Atlantic City. DiscoShow will be the next to open in Las Vegas in 2024, followed by a new venue, show and restaurant at Caesars Palace New Orleans.

Spiegelworld is the creator of three hit shows in Las Vegas – Absinthe, OPM and Atomic Saloon Show – as well as the new acclaimed restaurant Superfrico. 

Tickets for DiscoShow in Las Vegas will go on sale in the next few months.

Station Casinos entertains locals with a number of new weekly acts and shows at several of its properties in addition to its trademark bands that the city has grown to love. Entrance is free unless otherwise noted.

Guests can enjoy incredible entertainment across Station Casinos in April. Highlights include Cam Calloway at Green Valley Ranch Resort on Mondays; Daniel Echo at Red Rock Resort on Thursday, April 6; Mojo Juju at Red Rock Resort on Friday, April 7; Queen Nation at Santa Fe Station on Friday, April 14; and UFC 287 viewing parties at Red Rock Resort and Sunset Station on Saturday, April 8.

Nevada State Bank has released the results of its 10th annual Small Business Survey, highlighting the economic experiences and insights of small business owners and executives in Nevada. The report reveals business concerns about eduction funding, affordable housing, and the challenges of finding and retaining quality employees.

Conducted by Applied Analysis in January 2023 on behalf of Nevada State Bank, the report surveyed more than 400 randomly selected small business decision makers, representing Nevada businesses with annual sales ranging from $250,000 to $10 million.

Highlights include:

• Small businesses reported increased positivity relative to Nevada’s economy, with over half (53.8%) believing that Nevada’s economy is headed in the right direction, more than a 10% increase from 43.1% in 2022.
• Housing affordability is expected to remain a concern for small businesses amid high and rising interest rates. Roughly 40.0% are very concerned about housing affordability and 28.5% are moderately concerned.
• Over the past year, 42.7% of small businesses reported flat business revenues, while 41.4% reported unchanged profitability, a notable change from the prior year’s reports of rising revenues and profits.
• Hiring and retaining quality workers is among the most important challenges that small businesses face. While cost of business, economy, competition, and legislation are clearly challenges—a significant 23.7% consider hiring/retaining qualified employees their single most important challenge.
• More than 23.6% of respondents plan to expand their workspace, add a new building or renovate their current location in the next year. This is up 2% from 2022 and a historical high.
• Education funding, increasing affordable housing, and increasing funding for infrastructure are top priorities for small businesses in Nevada’s 2023 legislative session.

This commentary is written by PNC Chief Economist Gus Faucher.

• The FOMC raised the fed funds rate about 25 basis points, as expected.
• The statement noted said the bank system is “sound and resilient,” which acknowledging recent problems.
• PNC expects the FOMC to raise the fed funds rate by another 25 basis points at its early-May meeting.
• PNC also expects a mild recession starting in the second half of this year.
• The dot plot was little changed from December, although expected growth next year was lower.

The Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%. The statement also said that “some additional policy firming may be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficient restricted to return inflation to 2% over time,” indicating that further near-term rate hikes are likely.

There had been some uncertainty as to whether the FOMC would raise the fed funds rate or keep it unchanged because of recent concerns about the stability of the banking system. The FOMC statement called the U.S. banking system “strong and resilient.” The statement also said that these banking problems are likely to result in tighter credit conditions, but the extent of the impact is unknown. The statement reiterated that the FOMC “remains highly attentive to inflation risks.”

Today’s FOMC announcement was largely as expected. After tightening monetary policy very aggressively in 2022 to combat inflation well above the 2% objective, the FOMC has been less aggressive in 2023. The rapid increases in interest rates has contributed to the recent failures of three banks. But concern about the financial system did not deter the FOMC from raising the fed funds rate, although by only one-quarter of a percentage point. Before the bank failures earlier this month, fed funds futures markets had been pricing in a 50 basis point rate increase.

Committee members remain concerned that letting up on rate hikes now could result in inflation persistently above 2% over the next few years, which would require even more tightening in monetary policy over the longer run. The FOMC appears to think that it has the tools to both cool inflation with higher rates and support financial system stability.

PNC expects the FOMC to raise the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at its next meeting, on May 3, and then maintain the rate in a range of 5.00% to 5.25% as it becomes more apparent that economic growth is slowing and inflation is receding. Given the lagged impact of the ongoing tightening cycle, including the problems in the banking system, PNC expects a mild recession starting in the second half of 2023.

In its discussion of current economic conditions, the statement noted modest economic growth, a strong labor market, and high inflation.

The statement was approved unanimously.

This meeting also included the release of the Summary of Economic Projections, or “dot plot,” which shows FOMC participants’ expectations for the outlook. The median participant expects the fed funds rate to be 5.1% at the end of this year, the same as in the previous projections, from December. But the median projection for the fed funds rate at the end of 2024 is now 4.3%, up from 4.1% in December. The outlooks for inflation and the unemployment rate over the next few years are little changed from December. But the median projection for GDP growth in 2024 has been moved lower, to 1.2%, from 1.6% in the previous dot plot.

There are now branded slots for a wide variety of prominent performers and rock bands. Here are only a few examples: Kiss, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N’ Roses, Megadeth, and Twisted Sisters. Here’s a rundown of popular bands with their slot machine theme. 

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix was a phenomenal guitarist in his own right and is still considered one of the best of all time. Purple, Voodoo Child, Haze, and Foxy Lady were some of his well-known and well-received songs. 

Many slot machines bear the name “Jimi Hendrix Slot,” a testament to the musician’s powerful impact even after more than half a century had passed since his untimely death. For example, consider the “Play Jimi Hendrix” button on NetEnt’s Jimi Hendrix Slot. 

Jimi Hendrix serves as the Wild symbol in the base game of NetEnt’s Jimi Hendrix slot machine. You may enjoy some of his greatest hits as you spin the reels and win big with Hendrix. The game’s extra features, such as the Re-Spin, Pick and Click, and Wild transformation, increase your chances of winning. 

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N’ Roses (or GNR for short) is an American hard rock band formed in 1985 and helped bring new life to the heavy metal subgenre. 

In honour of Guns N’ Roses’ 30th anniversary, the popular online casino game developer NetEnt released a slot machine themed after the band in 2015. Players are the focus of Guns N’ Roses Slots. A minimum of three identical symbols on a pay line is required to win, and players may activate a maximum of 20 pay lines. The emblems of the band members themselves have a greater payoff. 

If a player spins the bonus wheel and wins, they can access the slot’s additional features. Every slot machine in the game is themed after Guns N’ Roses and features a selection of the band’s songs. 

Megadeth

Megadeth, an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson, is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and influential thrash metal bands in history. 

Slot machine Megadeth, created by Leander Games in 2012, has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 40 possible ways to win.

 There are several slot machines based on an Elvis theme. Elvis Slot and Elvis: The King Lives Slot Machine are only two examples. IGT, a single casino games developer, has manufactured at least five Elvis-themed slot machines. 

Some of the best slot developers in the world are keen to use Elvis Presley’s image, music, and iconic status to increase player interest in their games because of the singer’s enduring popularity from the 1950s and 1960s. You can learn more here, but both IGT and WMS have produced slot machines based on the music of Elvis Presley.

Responsible gambling entails more than simply setting a budget or knowing when to stop.

It is more about understanding gambling addiction and how to make better choices – also check out daily spins for free.

Gambling has been around for centuries. While formal casino establishments were introduced in the 18th century, gambling has always been a form of entertainment. When online gambling was finally introduced, responsible gambling was not considered. The ability to gamble without leaving their homes meant players could play unchecked.

Later online casinos and bodies that regulate them decided to devise ways to create responsible gambling measures that could help gamers stay as safe as possible. Below are some of the measures put in place to promote responsible gambling.

Treat Gambling as a Form of Entertainment

Although some people make a living as professional gamblers, they are few and far between. For many, it should be considered entertainment and not a source of income.

Gambling problems often stem from people needing or expecting to win. Often, this can result in anxiety or frustration when they lose, and it could lead them to wager even more money to win their losses back. It could end up a dangerous cycle, quickly getting out of control.

Have a Budget and Stick to It

Perhaps the best way to gamble responsibly on slot games is to allocate a fixed amount of money you are prepared to lose in a given time. If you set yourself a limit and stick to it, you should be able to enjoy gambling without getting into trouble.

Only bet with an amount that you can afford to lose. If that is what you want, there is nothing wrong with spending your spare money on gambling, but it is different if you risk money meant for other things.

Stop Chasing Your Loses

Some days you are up, others down. It should still be fine if you stay within your gambling budget. It is important to avoid gambling more in the hope of recovering the lost money. This is chasing losses, and it can lead to problem gambling.

Avoid Gambling Under the Influence

Often, gambling is paired with a fun atmosphere, complete with all the usual party essentials. But, if you are under the influence of alcohol or a high roller on a winning streak, avoid gambling while intoxicated. You are less likely to make rational decisions and might play beyond your time or money limits.

Set a Time Limit

Spending too much time gambling can be as damaging as spending too much money on games like osrs abyssal demon. It is easy for gambling to become a habit rather than a hobby, which could cause more future problems. Even if you are not getting into financial problems, some parts of your life will suffer if you choose to gamble at every opportunity. Therefore, it is important to control how much time you spend gambling the same way you control how much you spend.

As a piece of advice, you shouldn’t be afraid to tell someone if you suspect that gambling is becoming a problem for you. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is no point in dealing with the problem alone.

Every dollar donated April 1 – May 31 will provide up to six meals to children in need 

Three Square Food Bank continues the fight against hunger with the return of its Bag Childhood Hunger Campaign on Saturday, April 1. Donations made through Wednesday, May 31 will have double the impact, thanks to generous matching sponsors Nevada Gold Mines operated by Barrick and NV Energy Foundation. 

More than 131,000 children in Southern Nevada, or one in four, are living in a food-insecure household. With a significant number of families still struggling to put food on their tables, tens of thousands of Clark County School District students continue to rely on free or reduced-price meal programs.  

“Proper nutrition is critical at every age, but even more so for children to help them grow up healthy and strong,” said Three Square Interim President and CEO Michelle Beck. “2023 marks 11 years of our Bag Childhood Hunger Campaign, which allows us to double-down on food insecurity by providing more food to Southern Nevada’s youth.” 

The Bag Childhood Hunger campaign supports Three Square’s childhood nutrition programs, including Kids Cafe, BackPack for Kids and Meet Up and Eat Up. These programs ensure that children receive wholesome, nutritious meals after school, over the weekends and during the summer months. 

An element of the Bag Childhood Hunger campaign is “Fashion for Three Square,” a special invitation-only event held in May, imagined and underwritten by the Bennett Family Foundation, where Three Square will thank its donors for their ongoing support.

Three Square is one step closer to ending childhood hunger thanks to the following presenting sponsors: Caesars Foundation, Jill & Frank Fertitta, III, Teresa & Lorenzo Fertitta, Gene Haas Foundation, Green Valley Grocery, Health Plan of Nevada, Ted & Maria Quirk, Rachel Shiffrin & David Hirschfeld, Station Casinos, and Top Rank, Inc.

World’s Largest Sportsbook Welcomed Guests to an All-American Themed Event Featuring American Coney Island Coney Dogs, Apple Pie and Free Drinks for Moms

Today in the world’s largest sportsbook at Circa Resort & Casino, legendary pitcher Greg Maddux threw the first pitch to celebrate the start of baseball season. Catching the ball was former professional baseball player and pitcher Josh Towers, who now hosts a radio show on VSiN – The Sports Betting Network.

The Las Vegas casino resort hosted an all-American baseball celebration with its inaugural “Take Me Out to Vegas” experience. It featured all 30 professional baseball games being played on the 78-million-pixel screen; hot dogs from American Coney Island; beer hawkers and free drinks for moms; and complimentary, homemade apple pie; and a pitching mound donated by Bases Loaded Baseball & Softball Facility.

Maddux played 23 seasons for four teams in the professional baseball league and is considered to be one of the best pitchers of all time. He threw the first pitch in honor of the Baller Dream Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing community programming and financial support for young cancer warriors and their families.

“It was an honor to go back to my roots and throw the first pitch at Circa in celebration of the first day of baseball,” said Maddux. “I’m looking forward to returning at the end of April to support the Baller Dream Foundation with its first ever Celebrity Poker Tournament. We appreciate Circa’s partnership in helping us raise needed funds for the young children and adults who are facing hardship and cancer diagnosis.”

Circa’s vice president of operations, Mike Palm, emceed the event. He said, “Greg Maddux is one of baseball’s finest and it was incredible to have him be a part of this event. It was a great day filled with the most American of things – baseball, hot dogs, moms and apple pie.”

Maddux will return to Circa April 28-30 for the first Baller Dream Celebrity Poker Tournament, taking place at the resort’s 60^th floor cocktail lounge Legacy Club.

Celebrity guests include Las Vegas hockey player Deryk Engelland, legendary pitcher Roger Clemens, mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz and more. The weekend-long event also will feature a private dinner at Circa’s steakhouse Barry’s Downtown Prime; a welcome party at the outdoor pool amphitheater, Stadium Swim; and the tournament itself at Legacy Club. 

All funds raised will stay local to Las Vegas and help Baller Dream Foundation provide community programming where cancer warriors feel supported and celebrated. The proceeds also will provide financial support to families experiencing a cancer diagnosis. Single tickets to the main event on Sunday are still available for $2,500 and include a buy-in of 10,000 chips. The No Limit Texas Hold Em tournament will have a total prize pool of $150,000 for five winners. The tournament is limited to 100 participants.

During President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Talk to the People” Wednesday evening, MMDA Chairman Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr. said the mayors have met with representatives of some of the country’s largest companies in preparation for the arrival of more vaccines.

“McDonald’s, Jollibee, Ayala Land, lahat ng malalaking korporasyon — tutulong po sila para po paghandaan po natin ‘yong pagdating ng bakuna (all major corporations — they will help prepare for the arrival of vaccines),” Abalos said.

He said the country is expecting to receive around 10 to 15 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines every month from June to August.

“Itong Abril is about 100,000 — 150,000, tapos comparing it to 10 million. So, iba ho talaga ang kailangang paghandaan (This April there is about 100,000 to 150,000 compared to 10 million. So, what we’re preparing for is very different),” Abalos said.

Meanwhile, he said NCR mayors have agreed to the extension of the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ).

He said the infection has gone down and is not expected to increase as the enforcement of minimum health protocols and the borders of NCR Plus — Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna — will remain strict.

“So, sa Kalakhang Maynila more or less maganda po ang takbo. Ang mga alkalde po ay iisa lamang ang boses, ke maliit na lugar kamukha ng Pateros, San Juan o Mandaluyong; o malaking lugar, Maynila o Quezon City, basta magbotohan po, iisa lang po ang galaw po rito (So, in Metro Manila, more or less, things are going well. Our mayors have one voice, doesn’t matter if it’s a small place like Pateros, San Juan, or Mandaluyong; or a big place like Manila or Quezon City; if there’s a vote, there will be a unified action),” Abalos said.

Earlier, Duterte announced the extension of the MECQ in NCR Plus until May 14 based on the recommendation of health experts.

In addition, Santiago City in Quirino province and the province of Abra are also placed under MECQ for the whole month of May. (MNS)

It was the sixth batch of Sinovac vaccine doses delivered to the Philippines. The fifth batch, composed also of 500,000 doses, arrived on April 22.

The latest batch was among the vaccines purchased by the Philippine government, the report said. It arrived via a chartered Cebu Pacific flight from China.

All in all, the country has received 3.5 million doses of Sinovac vaccine called CoronaVac, including those donated by the Chinese government.

The latest batch underwent disinfection after arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It will be brought to a storage facility in Marikina City.

Based on Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluation of Sinovac’s vaccine, it has the following efficacy rates:

65% to 91% among healthy individuals aged 18 to 59,
50.4% for health workers, and
51% to 52% on senior citizens or those aged 60 and above
Sinovac’s vaccine is given in two doses.

According to Department of Health’s tally, the country has 1,020,495 COVID-19 cases as of April 28, of which 67,769 are considered “active” cases.

Meanwhile, the number of recoveries was at 935,695 and the death toll at 17,031 as of April 28.

The Philippines officially rolled out its vaccination program on March 1 but it has been hampered by supply problems.

Vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Wednesday night said the Philippines is eyeing to start the vaccination of the general public by August. So far, only frontline health workers, senior citizens and persons with comorbidities have been vaccinated. (MNS)

In a press statement issued Thursday, Ordanes said the present conditions and variables are still not conducive for proper large scale implementation of the house-to-house vaccination.

“For now, the house-to-house tactics can be done on a targeted basis by concentrating efforts of specific areas where the spread has been high or quite difficult,” Ordanes said, noting that he had written to Metro Manila mayors regarding the matter.

“The COVID spread is like a major fire, so some firefighting tactics would be useful. Target the larger clusters and create a firewall. Isolate and contain specific areas,” he added.

According to the lawmaker, local government units have to allocate some ample resources to make the house-to-house inoculation happen on a targeted basis.

As early as January, the Department of Health already considered the possibility of conducting house-to-house vaccination for vulnerable and high-risk senior citizens.

In Taguig City, home service vaccination is already being offered to bedridden residents.

Meanwhile, the DOH said a total of 246,986 individuals are already fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 as of April 27.

A total of 1,809,801 doses have been administered at 3,415 vaccination sites across the country. (MNS)

In an effort to help meet that goal, Governor Sisolak announced that the statewide social distancing mandate was removed on May 1 and that decisions on social distancing will transition to local authority in accordance with the Roadmap to Recovery timeline that was previously announced.

“Across Nevada great strides have been made in our response to COVID-19 to strengthen our partnerships, build capacity within our public health infrastructure, and vaccinate Nevadans,” said Governor Sisolak. “It’s because of this progress that I am proud to announce the goal of having every county in Nevada reopen to 100 percent on June 1. I am confident that if Nevadans continue to remain vigilant as more and more people get vaccinated, we can accomplish this together.”

COVID-19 mitigation measures will transfer to local authority starting May 1 and each Nevada county has been working with the COVID-19 Mitigation and Management Task Force to finalize plans for this transition.

As a result of this transition to local authority, each county will be able to make decisions based on what is best for their communities while taking into account transmission of the virus, vaccination, testing and other infrastructure needs specific to their communities.

Under the Governor’s plan, the Gaming Control Board will continue to maintain authority over gaming areas of licensed properties in Nevada and decisions related to mitigation measures in Nevada schools will transition to school districts.

While the State will be transitioning authority over social distancing measures to the counties, the mask mandate will remain in effect statewide.

For more than a year, local governments, state health officials, emergency managers, local health authorities and community partners have come together in a statewide response to COVID-19. Processes are now in place to support testing, contact tracing, disease investigation and vaccine rollout in communities across Nevada.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board will continue to maintain authority over gaming institutions, Sisolak said, throughout the state.

He emphasized that the planned timeline will require Nevadans to continue to get vaccinated and continue wearing a mask. The statewide mask mandate will remain in place through the transition, he said.

“But public health officials made it clear that in order to reach our goal of reopening on June 1, we must make sure Nevadans stay masked. It would be irresponsible for me as your Governor to ignore that advice. Additionally, it’s a common sense bargain – if we all continue to wear masks, it will help ensure we can reopen our state by June 1,” Sisolak said.

The video, released through Aquino’s Facebook page, is the second of two parts where the celebrity mother and son exchanged seven questions each, in light of Bimby turning 14 recently.

“How do you feel, honestly, when you read those comments and they say you’re gay?” Aquino asked her son for her first of seven questions.

Bimby, who was seated across his mother, answered: “Wala, I don’t really feel anything. If you think I’m gay, alright. But you do realize that the gay community sa Philippines is a strong community. And you do realize that I’m 14.”

“I know what I am. I’m straight as an arrow,” he said.

“Are you sure?” Aquino clarified.

“Yes,” Bimby answered.

“I want to bring this out also,” Aquino told her son. “Whatever you are, I’ll accept. I really don’t care, honestly. Whatever you choose to be, it will be fine with me for as long as you excel. Whatever you’re going to be, you better be the best at the profession you choose.”

Born to celebrity parents — Aquino is dubbed local showbiz’s “Queen of All Media,” while his father, basketball player James Yap, is a superstar of the sport — Bimby has grown up before the public eye.

In Aquino’s custody after the separation of his parents, Bimby would often appear alongside his mother in her TV programs, and now, her digital shows. He has also starred in three movies.

In March, Aquino called out “homophobic attitudes” of her detractors, in response to comments about Bimby’s sexual orientation.

“I know my son doesn’t identify as being gay, but in the event he ever does, he will still be my son. The bullying you are doing is a reflection of your homophobic attitudes that are no longer welcome in 2021,” Aquino said at the time.

Aquino, in her conversation with Bimby, also asked her son whether he has “questioned” himself, on the topic of gender.

“No, not at all,” Bimby answered.

Turning to face the camera, as prompted by his mother, Bimby emphasized: “Here, I’ll set the record straight. I’m straight. I like women. I don’t like boys.”

Aquino then told him, “You know, Bimb, whatever you choose to be, it’s none of their business.” (MNS)

On his Instagram account, Gutierrez revealed that he still has a crush on Lahbati. 

“Still crushing on you, even though we’re together, married, and have two kids,” Gutierrez said. 

But it appears that Lahbati’s reply won the hearts of some netizens as she teased her husband for a third baby. 

“baby #3. Just kiddinggggggg i love you,” she replied to Gutierrez’s post. 

Netizens quickly responded to Lahbati’s message, saying they also hope for a baby girl for the celebrity couple.

The couple have two children, Zion and Kai. 

Last March, Gutierrez and Lahbati marked their first wedding anniversary. The couple, who got engaged in 2017, decided to push through with their intimate wedding last year amid concerns about COVID-19. 

Lahbati also opened up about her relationship with her feisty mother-in-law, Annabelle Rama, from whom she has learned how to be patient. 

While admitting that Rama can sometimes be loud, Lahbati revealed that her mother-in-law is also generous and thoughtful. 

Currently, Gutierrez is part of ABS-CBN’s hit series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.” (MNS)

CHICAGO AND STYX ANNOUNCE SHOWS AT THE VENETIAN RESORT LAS VEGAS THIS SEPTEMBER 

One of the most successful and critically acclaimed rock bands of all time – Chicago – will return to The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas in 2021 for the fourth year in a row for a three-show limited engagement September 15, 17 and 18, 2021.

Styx, the multimega-million-selling rock band that has forged an indelible legacy both on record and onstage, will return to The Venetian for a three-night limited engagement September 24, 25 and 26, 2021. 

Due to popular demand, Styx, the multimega-million-selling rock band that has forged an indelible legacy both on record and onstage, has added a third date to their engagement at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021. The previously announced shows on Saturday, Sept. 25 and Sunday, Sept. 26, 2021 are sold-out. All shows are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

Tickets for the newly added show on Friday, Sept. 24 start at $45, plus applicable fees, and will go on sale to the general public Friday, April 23 at 10 a.m. PT. A limited number of VIP packages will also be available. Tickets will be available for purchase at Ticketmaster.com, Venetian.com, any box office at The Venetian Resort or by calling 702.414.9000 or 866.641.7469. 

Styx fan club members will have access to a pre-sale beginning Wednesday, April 21 at 10 a.m. PT. Grazie Rewards club members and Live Nation customers will receive access to a pre-sale beginning Thursday, April 22 at 10 a.m. PT. All pre-sales will end Thursday, April 22 at 10 p.m. PT. 

For these special performances, Styx – James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals, guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (lead vocals, keyboards) and Ricky Phillips (bass, guitar, vocals) – has created an exclusive set list and brand new stage production.

The six men comprising Styx have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide by entering their second decade of averaging over 100 shows a year, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last. Styx draws from over four decades of barnburning chart hits, joyous singalongs and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a Styx set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion,” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man.” From the majestic spiritual love for a special “Lady,” to the seething indictment of preening, primping pageantry for pageantry’s sake of “Miss America.” From an individual yearning for true connection as a “Man in the Wilderness,” to a soul-deep quest to achieve what’s at the heart of one’s personal vision in “Crystal Ball.” From the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away,” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound.

Styx hit its stride with guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw’s first LP with the band, 1976’s Crystal Ball, and then they become the first group to score four triple-platinum albums in a row: The Grand Illusion (1977), Pieces of Eight (1978), Cornerstone (1979) and Paradise Theater (1981). Over the ensuing decade, Styx weathered the shifting winds of the public’s musical taste, reconvening for a highly successful 1996 Return to Paradise tour that was expertly documented on both CD and DVD in 1997. With a little help from their many friends in Cleveland’s Contemporary Youth Orchestra, One With Everything (2006) became a hybrid orchestral rock blend for the ages. And on The Grand Illusion / Pieces of Eight Live (2011), the band performed at its peak when tackling every track from a pair of their finest triple-platinum albums back to back. Not only that, but the band re-recorded two discs’ worth of its classic material with much finesse and musculature, aptly known as Regeneration Volume I & II (2011 & 2012). 

After 14 years, Styx’s sonically sweet 16th studio album and its most ambitious, most challenging and most rewarding album to date, The Mission, was finally released June 16, 2017 on the band’s label, Alpha Dog 2T/UMe. The highly anticipated two-disc reissue of The Mission was released on July 27, 2018 via Alpha Dog 2T/UMe, which includes a CD of the original album, as well as a Blu-ray of The Mission mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound accompanied by stunning visualizations for each of the album’s 14 songs based on the album artwork.  

After more than a decade together on the road, this incarnation of Styx is looking forward to performing as many shows as it can as long as it can.
