Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley recently gave her State of the City address.<\/p>\n

During the speech, Berkley “announced” plans for a new casino resort project, “Circa 2.”<\/p>\n

The problem is that’s not a thing. In political parlance, that’s what’s known as an “oopsie.” Tellingly, the City’s highlights<\/a> from the mayor’s speech didn’t include the “Circa 2” mention.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Our new mayor jumped the gun or whatever the politically correct way of saying that is now. How about this: “This news was activated before the collective had saged the space.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the mayor dropped the “Circa 2” news into her speech, some news outlets<\/a>, including our friends at Channel 8<\/a>, rushed to pass along the unconfirmed story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fact-checking, not so much.<\/p>\n

We, of course, love rumors. Especially the unconfirmed ones. They tend to be more fun than news releases. We often pass along rumors from sources who don’t always get it right. This is a fun rumor, it’s just not, you know, accurate.<\/p>\n

We love Circa and would love to see another resort from Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of Circa, Golden Gate and The D downtown.<\/p>\n

We were actually the first to report<\/a> on the parcel being discussed as a potential location for a Circa expansion.<\/p>\n

Back in 2017, we shared a land purchase by the Stevens, a parcel called P\/Q, in Symphony Park, just across the railroad tracks from the Plaza.<\/p>\n
