That pushed the Bellagio and Venetian to imitate it with dancing fountains and canals.<\/p>\n<p>Under a Nevada state law, if a casino is closing and they have had a progressive jackpots building from slot machines or table games, they have to pay out that money even though they&#8217;re closing. Over the last week they&#8217;ve had to pay out over $1.6 million dollar. The Mirage was giving some of the money out with hourly draws; anyone at a slot machine was eligible for the up to $10,000 draws. Every slot machine was taken.<\/p>\n<p>The resort will undergo a three-year renovation and reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas, with a soaring 700-foot-tall hotel tower in the shape of a guitar, with the volcano being destroyed to make space for new rooms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-54689 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bri-web-app-wordpress\/2018\/09\/3a9171bb-cksy_5_things_5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"89\" \/>Today is Tim Horton&#8217;s Camp Day.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timhortons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Horton&#8217;s<\/a> to buy a coffee or iced coffee and help change a life by sending youth from disadvantaged circumstances to <a href=\"https:\/\/timscamps.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Hortons Foundation Camps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>100% of proceeds from all Tim Hortons coffee purchases on Camp Day will help send youth \u2013 at no cost to them \u2013 to a Tims Camp for a multi-year, camp-based development program where they will be empowered to believe in their own potential and change their stories for the better.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple different ways to send a kid to camp, the easiest is to buy a hot or iced coffee at a Tim Hortons, but you can also help by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase a Camp Day bracelet for $3 or a $2 Donation Badge.<\/li>\n<li>Round Up your order or drop change into the coin box.<\/li>\n<li>Order a Camp Day donut at participating restaurants in\u00a0Canada\u00a0for\u00a0$2.<\/li>\n<li>Make a one-time or monthly donation in a restaurant or online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/timscamps.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">TimsCamps.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Facebook video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/timhortonsfoundationcamps\/videos\/443200918535371\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 17th is the 199th day of the year.
