TWO MILLION DOLLARS - that’s what they’ll be playing for at the IPT North American 8 Ball Championship at the Venetian starting July 22. It’s the tourney in the history of the game. More details online at www.InternationalPoolTour.com.


SOMETIME NEXT March, the Venetian will open its third tower called Plazazoo Resort Hotel Casino. The 53-story tower will have 3,025 suites, a 1,500-seat theater, shopping mall, world-famous restaurants, 1,900 slot machines and 80 gaming tables. You’ll need a compass and a seeing-eye dog to find your way outta there.

IT’S NO secret that Sheldon Adelson (he’s the primary owner of the Venetian) and Steve Wynn (he owns the Wynn) are fierce competitors. Not to be outdone, the Wynn will open Encore to complement Wynn with a Vegas first - skylights that will illuminate the casino floor with natural light. May the best billionaire win!
