Nope, the White Castle casino isn’t Excalibur.
It’s the home of Las Vegas’ only White Castle hamburger outlet, Casino Royale. Located at the center of the Strip, the diminutive Casino Royale also houses the highest-volume Denny’s restaurant in the world, and now it’s adding a race and sports book and sports bar. Both will be in the center of the casino, presumably where the current bar sits, with the book operated by William Hill. If all goes according to plan, work is expected to be completed sometime “this winter.”
Britney slots: The new Britney Spears slot machine is out and on the floors at Planet Hollywood (where she performs) as well as at other CET properties. The slots play several of Spears’ biggest hits, including “(Hit Me) … Baby One More Time,” “Toxic” and “Oops! … I Did it Again.”
Tableside magic: The Rockhouse at the Venetian entertains guests with tableside magic performed by Seth Grabel of “America’s Got Talent” fame, Fridays and Saturdays from 7 to 9 pm. It’s the first casino to do this since Mike Skinner roamed the old Lilly Langtree’s at the Golden Nugget, and predating Skinner as a restaurant magician was Jimmy Grippo in the Bacchanal Room at Caesars Palace.
Casa Wayne: Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah is now open to the public.
Visitors to the 52-acre estate miles east of the Strip can also tour Newton’s extensive menagerie of Arabian horses, peacocks, wallabies and a capuchin monkey; his collection of memorabilia; and his private jet and automobile collection. There are also several gift stores on the property. Tours start at $35.
Question: Do you have a list of casino football contests that are free to play?
