From swimming pools to showgirls, here’s how you can tell Las Vegas is revving up by Christopher Reynolds of LA Times

“One of the biggest optimists in town might be Chris Ihle, a former Iowa banker who ditched that career to make art with Lego bricks. He sells celebrity portraits and other works from his gallery in the Circa hotel, including a plastic-brick reproduction of the late Eddie Van Halen’s red guitar (about $2,500) and busts of Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.), Tupac Shakur and others.

‘Two months ago, 85% of the people coming through that door were from Las Vegas,’ Ihle said. And on weekends now? ‘It would be 50-50.’ The Circa, which opened in late October, is one of three new and increasingly busy major venues in town.“

“Derek Stevens owns the downtown Las Vegas hotels Golden Gate, The D and Circa, a dazzling new property boasting Stadium Swim, a cluster of six rooftop pools staggered in height to offer unobstructed views of a 40-foot-tall high-definition video screen.

I would say we’re getting pretty close to pre-pandemic levels on weekends.’“

The Pass opens in Henderson, gets passing grades from guests by Mike Shoro of Las Vegas Review-Journal

“Live gaming proved popular in its return Thursday to Water Street: four blackjack tables, a roulette table and a craps table. Circa CEO Derek Stevens sipped a Budweiser while sitting at a blackjack table with other Circa representatives.

The time is right to dive into the Las Vegas pool scene by Paul Szydelko of Travel Weekly

“Las Vegas’ newest hot spot is Stadium Swim at Circa Resort and Casino. Under a 143-foot-by-40-foot, 14 million-megapixel LED screen are six temperature-controlled pools with state-of-the-art filtration, two swim-up bars, live music and 50 cabanas. ‘We expected demand for the Stadium Swim attraction to be high. And it’s been spectacular,’ Circa owner Derek Stevens said back in February, at the height of winter in Vegas. ‘People want to get outside. The pool’s heated to 94 degrees. It’s a great place.’ Even when the sun goes down, the party atmosphere prevails, he says. ‘One surprise at Stadium Swim is that we’re doing more bookings in the evening than we are during the day,’ Stevens said.“
