We love us some rumors and speculation. Trolls sometimes point out the fact our sources don’t always get it right, at least not right away.<\/p>\n

First, trolls are rarely MENSA members. Second, please note the phrase “not right away.” Sometimes, our sources hear about things months or even years before they happen. Things can change, or fail to materialize, for a variety of reasons. Our sources aren’t clairvoyant. Rumors often come to pass, however. Some just take a minute.<\/p>\n

Example: In 2018, we shared a rumor Casino Royale (also known as the Best Western Plus Casino Royale) could be demolished to become a Ritz-Carlton. Crazy, right?<\/p>\n

Um, not so much. The FAA is soliciting public comment about a proposed 699 foot hotel tower on the Casino Royale site. As the kids say, boom.<\/p>\n

\"Casino
“Unique” doesn’t quite do Casino Royale justice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s our Tweet from August 2018, just for posterity, so we’re all clear where everyone heard this rumor first, should it come to pass.<\/p>\n

We hear it, you hear it: Untested source adamant Casino Royale will be demolished and replaced by a Ritz-Carlton. Given small footprint, project would involve deep underground parking garage. One to watch! pic.twitter.com\/5VwKANRMID<\/a><\/p>\n
