One of the Strip’s largest casino operators is launching a new way to save on entertainment in Las Vegas amid an ongoing, citywide effort to offset declining visitation.
Caesars Entertainment announced a fee including the “3 for $149 Caesars Show Package,” a package ticket offering that allows guests to mix and match three live shows of their choice for a $149 flat ticket. The promotion spans several Caesars properties on the Las Vegas Strip. It is part of a growing series of value-driven offerings as operators grapple with a slowdown in visitor traffic.
Participating shows include deals at Horseshoe Las Vegas (Laugh Factory excluding the 6:30pm show, Paranormal, Sin City Stones, X Rocks, BattleBots), Flamingo Las Vegas (RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!, Piff the Magic Dragon, Wayne Newton) and Harrah’s Las Vegas (Donny Osmond, X Country, MJ Master, MJ Master, MJ.
The package is now available on the company’s website.
Other major Strip operators are also promoting discounted entertainment to boost demand.
MGM Resorts International offers a “2 for $75” package at the Luxor and Excalibur box offices, where guests can purchase two different production show tickets starting at $75, plus taxes and service charges. Eligible shows include Fantasy, Carrot Top, Blue Man Group (with a $15 charge), Tournament of Kings (with a $10 charge), Australian Bee Gees, The Mac King Comedy Magic Show and Thunder From Down Under.
The latest ticket deal comes as Las Vegas continues to navigate a protracted tourism downturn, with official data showing year-over-year declines in visitors and lower hotel occupancy, which industry leaders attribute to broader economic uncertainties and changes in travel patterns, including falling international arrivals.
Polymarket prohibited
A Carson City judge has temporarily blocked a prediction market from selling contracts in Nevada ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl game.
District Judge Jason Woodbury last week sided with the Nevada Gaming Control Board on a temporary restraining order against Blockratize Inc., which does business as Polymarket, preventing it from writing derivatives contracts in Nevada ahead of a Feb. 11 hearing.
The Control Board considers predictive market contracts to be a form of sports betting and has taken several measures to prevent markets from operating in the state without a gambling license.
The comptroller’s board changed its strategy in its legal battle against prediction markets in January when it filed its case against Polymarket in state court instead of federal court.
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Connecticut, Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Montana and Ohio have had similar problems with prediction markets, which believe their oversight by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission allows them to conduct business in all 50 states regardless of whether they have legalized sports betting.
KalshiEx LLC sued Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission members for trying to keep them out of Nevada with a cease and desist order in March. U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon also ruled in favor of the regulators, but Kalshi has appealed that case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Macao results
Gross gaming revenue in Macau exploded to $2.8 billion (US) in January, up 24 percent from last year and up 8 percent from December, according to the region’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
The region’s 42 casinos have had 12 consecutive months of higher gaming profits than the previous year, ending 2025 with a 9.1 percent increase over 2024 to $30.7 billion.
By comparison, Nevada’s casinos reported gaming revenue of $15.8 billion in 2025.
Analysts say Macau’s January profit was higher than expected despite Chinese New Year falling in February this year instead of January 2025.
In a report to investors on Monday, equity analyst Anne Ling of New York-based Jeffries Research said February should be strong as the Year of the Horse falls on February 17 and will be celebrated with nine days of public holidays instead of eight last year.
Gambling ban
Lawmakers in New York are considering legislation that would ban gamblers from betting if they harass amateur or professional athletes, coaches, officials or participants in a sporting event for their performance.
Bills in the New York Senate and Assembly would ban people who have harassed athletes about their athletic performance from betting.
Similar legislation has been introduced in Ohio, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Harassment of athletes has been a growing problem in the age of social media where the public has gained increasing access to athletes and they receive threats from people who have loist bets as a result of their performance on the field.
