New big things are coming to Las Vegas soon
Las Vegas news starts with a new attraction opening soon. Also, a nice new Vegas hotel is coming up, a big car race to the strip, new rules on marijuana consumption, and new ways to get around town. Not to mention next week's Global Game Expo. First, the Global Game Expo will be held in Las Vegas in just over a week. They will attend this week's Gambling Week and shoot video clips of the event. You can always come and say hello or collapse the set. After all, it's Vegas, baby. Next, let's talk about marijuana. Nevada is one of the states where cannabis is legal within certain limits. But opening legal cannabis consumption lounges is making Las Vegas news. Those lounges may open before the end of the year. Some are already open. Also, the Madison Square Garden Entertainment Sphere, or MSG Spare, is being built adjacent to Venice. If you have not heard of it or noticed it on your visit, it will be a globe over 500 feet wide and 360 feet high, covered with more than a million fully programmable LED panels. It will be a 580,000 sq ft theater with a packed high-definition screen of 160,000 sq ft. Formula One racing will also begin next year in the form of the Las Vegas Grand Prix! Scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 2023, the race car will pass through hotels and casinos at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. An interesting new hotel will also decorate the Vegas skyline as Moon World Resort launches a $5 billion hotel and casino project. The resort is planning a model of the moon, measuring 735 feet high and 650 feet wide, with 4,000 rooms. This is something we need to see to believe. Lastly, the Vegas underground loop is old news in Las Vegas. In the near future, however, this growing network of tunnels will cover about 35 miles of area! When completed, there will be 55 stations! The construction of the downtown Vegas loop is expected to begin around next year.
