Las Vegas, more than any other tourist destination, is continuously changing. New hotels are added as older hotels are torn down. New shows, restaurants, attractions, and shops pop up on a regular basis all around town. Among the newest developments are:

1. Harrah’s Entertainment, the company that owns and operates six Las Vegas casinos, including Caesar’s and Paris Las Vegas, has announced plans to built a 20,000-seat, $500 million dollar sports/concert arena on the Las Vegas Strip. Harrah’s is betting that the state-of-the-art facility, which will be completed in 2010, will attract a professional sports franchise to the city.
2. New York City Barbecue joint, RUB (Righteous Urban Barbecue) will open this fall inside the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, just off of the Strip. The 9,000-square foot restaurant will serve lunch and dinner and feature standard dishes, such as ribs prepared St. Louis style, barbecued sausage, and slow-roasted pastrami.
3. Comedian Wayne Brady, best known as a regular on Drew Carey’s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” TV show is now a permanent headliner at the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino. His improvisation show, “Making It Up” will run through mid-2008.
