@VitalVegas Add elevators and gyms to the list. Zero self-awareness.

This policy should apply to all casinos, restaurants and bars: Put on headphones, use earbuds or GTFO. washingtonpost.com/travel/2026/03…

@VitalVegas @grok Is this the intersection off Frank Sinatra that they block off during T-Mobile events so anyone staying at Park has to go 15-min out of their way and circle back on the Strip just to get to their hotel? That one? I've got some names for it!

Update: News of the Bruno Mars street name change was first reported back in December. Reveal date is new. Thanks, @grok, missed it. casino.org/news/vegas-mus…

U2 dropped a surprise EP today, fittingly titled "Days of Ash" on Ash Wednesday. The band still has plenty to say. usatoday.com/story/entertai… #U2 #DaysofAsh

@JacobsVegasLife M Resort. Mostly because of the awesome employees.

Which off-strip Vegas hotel is so good that it makes you never want to stay on the strip again?

@VitalVegas Shhhhhhhh...

The best Las Vegas casino amenity you’re not taking advantage of: High limit lounge restrooms.

@VitalVegas Is the plan to keep those top four floors a boutique hotel? That place is a dream. Non-smoking everywhere and higher comps because it's technically a mid property with Park. Always our go-to.

Monday announcement about NoMad rebrand anticipated.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated, even if it’s just a retweet.

Sting and @DiRealShaggy have formed a Grammy-winning musical bond. Ahead of their One Fine Day festival, the duo chats about their friendship and their show prep with USA TODAY's @MRuggieriUSAT. #EntertainThis

@VitalVegas So...true? Still not enough but better. 8newsnow.com/news/local-new…

@VitalVegas Thank you!

@VitalVegas A friend tried it last weekend. Got a Versailles king n/s on 25th floor. Not Strip view but not a wall, either. For a not-picky solo traveler, it's a fine option.

Gambling before you gamble.

@VitalVegas @JamesInLasVegas @MResort Walked by it a few days ago. Lot of activity, seems to be rolling. Wish it would include more dining options, but alas...

M Resort hotel tower construction update. (h/t @JamesInLasVegas) @MResort

@VitalVegas Been doing that for years. And travel with double stick tape for the corners that inevitably let in that one annoying shard of light. Meh.

Never forget.

If you couldn't get to #LasVegas for @U2 at @SphereVegas, the "V-U2" immersive concert film is a worthy substitute, mostly because it feels as if the band is in front of you. Here's some insight from the Edge about how the whole stunning thing works. usatoday.com/story/entertai…

Had a really wonderful chat with #AlexVanHalen. His new book, "Brothers," is a true love letter to his brother Ed (learned that he was always called "Ed" or "Edward" - never "Eddie"). Amazing drummer, really cool guy. usatoday.com/story/entertai…

.@StevieWonder had a couple of special guests escort him onstage @CFGBankArena in Baltimore Tuesday. #BarackObama #steviewonder

@ushnashah @ushnashah - would love to talk to you about this for a story I'm writing for @USATODAY. Please email me at mruggieri@usatoday.com if you're able to chat. Thx!
