bear a striking resemblance<\/a> to those at Wynn and Encore.<\/p>\nExperts, though, point to the fact if Genting purchased Wynn, the company would gain access to an incredibly profitable market, Macau.<\/p>\n
It’s unknown how far along Genting might be in its pursuit of Wynn Resorts, but such a scenario would be fascinating to watch. Especially if we’re right, of course.<\/p>\n
Update (4\/17\/19): A lot has happened in the Wynn Resorts saga, but chatter about a sale have died down considerably. In fact, Wynn Resorts could be in the mix to purchase Cosmopolitan. So, we’ll have to change our odds of this rumor happening to 30-to-1, at least for now.<\/p>\n
5. Funding of All Net Resort and Arena (8-to-1)<\/h2>\n Of all our juicy Las Vegas rumors, this one’s got the most detractors.<\/p>\n
The rumor? That All Net Resort and Arena has gotten funding (again) and is going to happen.<\/p>\n
All Net Resort and Arena is planned for the former Wet ‘n Wild waterpark on the north end of The Strip, next to SLS Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
It was originally slated to open in 2017 (the groundbreaking happened all the way back in October 2014). At one point, the project was said to be fully funded by Credit Suisse, but apparently the company got cold feet and bailed.<\/p>\nGive it a minute. Another minute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDespite the false starts, we’ve heard an announcement about foreign financing could happen at any time. We have no idea why we’re clinging to this rumor coming true. Maybe it’s just that we love rooting for an underdog.<\/p>\n
Update (4\/17\/19): The buzz around All Net Resort having funding is picking up again. We’ve heard from two sources the project has foreign financing and could move forward at any time. If true, this rumor will be especially satisfying because it was definitely a longshot.<\/p>\n
Think some of these rumors are crazy?<\/p>\n
Don’t make us rattle off all the times our sources nailed it! Recently, we scooped the media by months with rumors about a massive Google data center in Henderson, a new venue at Caesars Palace from Lisa Vanderpump, the first Chick-fil-A on The Strip, Mandarin Oriental becoming Waldorf Astoria, Lady Gaga getting a Vegas residency and too many others to count.<\/p>\n
And don’t get us started on our previous “boom.” We broke the sales of Riviera, SLS Las Vegas, Hard Rock, Las Vegas Club, Fontainebleau and the Alon site.<\/p>\n
We literally told you not to get us started.<\/p>\n
Let’s hear your thoughts on the rumors you think are legit and which ones you think illustrate the belief our hammock doesn’t quite reach both trees.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
