Las Vegas's only all-inclusive hotel package launches, with deals from $125 and ‘bottomless drinks'
The package is coming back for stays in June, July and August at the Plaza Hotel & Casino, located in downtown Vegas opposite the Fremont Street Experience mall.
In a statement, the hotel, which first introduced the package last summer, revealed that the all-inclusive package fee 'waives all resort fees', and that guests 'will enjoy free access to the fitness center, rooftop pool and self-parking'.
The package also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor and breakfast and dinner 'from various dining outlets'.
The hotel points out that smart lockers have been installed by the pool, that new double sunloungers that can accommodate two guests have been added poolside, and that the Plaza Pool's Food Truck will be open all summer, serving light bites, pizzas, hot dogs and burgers.
'At a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,' said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
Is the deal good value?
Rooms only cost from around $60 a night at the Plaza anyway, but for those guests spending a lot of time at the property, the all-inclusive package could well be a sensible option.
Plus, it's a lower tariff than the average Vegas room rate of $191 and the price of the most expensive room in the city — reportedly the Empathy Suite at the Palms Casino Resort, which commands rates of up to $100,000 a night.
The Plaza Hotel & Casino first opened in 1971 and was built on the site of the original Las Vegas railroad depot at 1 Main Street.
It boasts of being a 'one-of-a-kind destination for cocktails, gaming, entertainment, and dining'.
Do guests agree? Reviews on Tripadvisor are mixed, with the property garnering an average score of 3.7 out of five.
Google reviewers have been more generous, with the Plaza rated four out of five from 17,000 reviews.

We pay male escorts up to £300 an hour for mind-blowing sex – people think it's sleazy but there are so many benefits
SICK of disappointing dates or boring bedroom action? For countless women, the thought of another uninspired romp is enough to make them scream into their pillows. But what if the most extreme solution was also the smartest? Forget waiting for romance — increasing numbers of women are now taking matters (and pleasure) into their own hands, by paying for exactly what they want, when they want it. In fact, one in 20 married women over 50 are now so unhappy with their sex lives, they would consider turning to male escorts to spice things up. It's not just fed-up wives, either — younger women are also ditching dating apps, swapping swipes for guaranteed satisfaction with gigolos. Type 'male escort' into TikTok and thousands of videos pop up, with clean-cut hunks explaining why smart, successful women fork out for their services. And far from keeping it quiet, young women are now openly sharing their escort experiences. PA Laura Fox, 29, from Walsall, West Midlands, turned to escorts after her last relationship fizzled out. 'I've always been fascinated by escorts,' she says. 'When I was 19, I found out my friend's mum used to hire them to accompany her to events. 'Until that point, I'd assumed escorts were something men used — not women. 'But seeing how she carried herself changed my view.' Far from being sleazy or taboo, Laura suddenly saw escorts as 'the ultimate power move', with women in control. So when, aged 26, she was newly single after the end of a three-year relationship, using an escort seemed a no-brainer. 'I just wasn't ready for the faff of dating apps — the endless scrolling, the awkward messaging, the guys who want to sext but never meet,' she says. 'Then I remembered my friend's mum and had a real eureka moment.' Curious, Laura chatted to some pals who directed her to Gentlemen4hire, the UK's longest-running male escort company. From the hundreds of men on offer, she selected a well-groomed man in his thirties called James. 'NO GAME-PLAYING' 'Since I didn't have a work do or wedding to attend, I looked into 'boyfriend experiences' — basically male escorts who'll take you on dates and act the part, no questions asked,' she says. 'James was tall, dark and handsome and we had similar interests, such as good food and loving animals. 'We discussed fees — escorts typically cost from £220 per hour — and boundaries, such as what's included, what's not. 'It was strangely reassuring and James was clear, polite and respectful.' Laura arranged to meet her date in a local gastropub, but admits she was a bag of nerves beforehand. She says: 'I almost didn't go in. "But James instantly put me at ease, asking lots of questions and being friendly and kind. "It felt like a normal date — except I knew exactly how the night would go. 'There was no game-playing, no awkward 'will-he-won't-he?' tension. 'And the fee even covered the meal, so it was like I was out with a guy who'd paid for dinner, too.' Laura says her first escort experience was like a 'typical first date', with a kiss on the cheek at the end of the night, not red-hot passion. 'I didn't want to be worrying about sex the first time,' she explains. 'But after that I just booked what I fancied that day. 'And every time we did 'do the deed', it certainly lived up to expectations.' Since that first date, Laura has paid for more than ten experiences — sometimes because she's wanted male company, other times because she's craved a night of satisfying sex. Escorts tend to be experienced, attentive and entirely focused on my pleasure — a rare combo these days Laura Fox 'Some nights end with a goodbye hug, others with fireworks,' she smiles. 'Honestly, sex with an escort is often better than a one-night stand. "Escorts tend to be experienced, attentive and entirely focused on my pleasure — a rare combo these days. 'And you skip all the usual emotional admin that comes with dating. 'There are no mixed signals, no awkward texts the next day, no-one nicking your duvet at 3am.' Given all the benefits, Laura says it's no wonder so many ordinary women are paying for pleasure. 'I totally get why more and more of them are doing this,' she says. 'It's not just a man's world any more — we're taking control of our pleasure, our time, and our expectations. It's win-win.' 'NO PRESSURE' Despite the considerable costs, Laura plans to continue using escorts until she meets Mr Right. And despite her glowing reviews of the men she's hired, she's never been in danger of getting emotionally attached. She says: 'I guess some people do, but I don't because one of the reasons I started paying for escorts was because I wasn't ready for a serious relationship.' Like Laura, Natasha Greenwood, 34, from London, says booking escorts has been a game-changer. The PR executive, whose last long-term relationship ended seven years ago, reveals: 'For me, engaging with male escorts has become a way to explore my sexuality and seek companionship on my own terms. 'I turned to escorts after growing tired of the dating scene — boring men, boring sex and endless swiping on apps. "So I thought: 'Why not?'' Despite feeling on edge in the build-up to her first encounter, Natasha says her jitters were short-lived. 'Surprisingly, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience,' she says. 'I had to pay a ten per cent deposit up front, which felt a bit strange. "But this was to cover the dinner. 'Afterwards, we went to a hotel for sex. It wasn't cheap — £300 per hour — but it was worth every penny.' For Natasha, who says passion dwindled two years into her last relationship, getting her needs met between the sheets is a huge plus of using gigolos. 'When I'm with a male escort, I feel free to ask for exactly what I want in bed. "There's no shame, no second-guessing and no pressure to be anything but myself. I can be bolder, kinkier and more experimental. 'I get to enjoy sex with a hot, confident man, with no strings attached. It's like dating on steroids.' Natasha admits there is still a stigma around women 'and particularly black women' using escorts, but stresses there's nothing sleazy about the practice. 'I appreciate the professionalism and discretion these men bring,' she explains. 'It allows me to fully enjoy the moment without the emotional minefield that can come with relationships. 'I keep male escorts on rotation, too. It's like having a fun new plaything every couple of months.' Using escorts doesn't come cheap and Natasha is spending less on holidays and other luxuries. Her friends and family are well aware of her escort use, as she often hires them as a 'plus one' for events or dinners. But she prefers to enjoy her escort experiences away from her own home. 'SEXUAL FREEDOM' 'We always end the night at a hotel. I prefer it that way,' she says. 'My space is mine and the fun stays just where I want it.' While some may raise eyebrows at the idea of so many women enjoying escorting services, both Laura and Natasha say that when it comes to intimacy, paying for what they desire has opened up a new world of sexual freedom. 'Everyone has the right to seek pleasure, intimacy and connection in ways that feel right to them,' says Natasha. 'This isn't about being desperate or giving up on love — it's reclaiming my pleasure and prioritising fulfilling, joyful experiences, in and out of the bedroom.' Names have been changed BUT REMEMBER: STAY SAFE SAFETY should always come first, says Sun sexpert Georgie Culley. When booking an escort, stick to reputable agencies. Too-good-to-be-true prices are a red flag. Generally, escorts from legitimate agencies will cost £150-plus per hour. Before meeting, arrange a video call first, so you can verify who they are and set clear boundaries. Ask to see their ID, too. Always meet in a public place such as a restaurant or bar first. And let a trusted friend know where you'll be and who you're meeting. Avoid sharing personal details like your home address until you feel comfortable. Never transfer money in advance, unless it's through a trusted agency platform. If you do make it to the bedroom, always practise safe sex. Due to the nature of their job, escorts will likely be sleeping with lots of people, so always use condoms. Most importantly, trust your gut. If anything feels off, walk away. Your safety and comfort are key.

Kendall Jenner looks unrecognizable as she channels Angelina Jolie on set
Kendall Jenner looked unrecognizable during a Los Angeles photo shoot on Saturday. The 29-year-old model — who just appeared in longtime friend Justin Bieber's Instagram post — drew a striking resemblance to Angelina Jolie in the 2010 action-mystery movie Salt. Kendall traded her dark bob haircut for long, flowing locks complete with face-framing bangs. In addition to the bone-straight brunette wig, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum wore narrow, black sunglasses. Underneath the eyewear the beauty flaunted a full face of matte makeup. During a break from being in front of the camera, the 818 Tequila founder was clad in a gray robe and black flip-flops. She sipped from plastic cup while holding her phone in one hand and draping a black bag over her shoulder. Fans were left buzzing on Saturday as pop star Justin shared a rare photo with Kendall, who is his wife Hailey's BFF, to Instagram. The candid snapshot — taken at an LA dive bar on Thursday night — showed the singer star listening intently to the model as she used her hands to convey a point. The Kardashians star was effortlessly stylish in a cropped black halter neck top and mid-rise white jeans. Hailey took to the comments section of the post to tease, 'It's always Kendall telling a story with her hands.' In response, Jenner quipped: 'God forbid I'm a visual storyteller.' Kendall also recently spent time with Justin and Hailey as she attended the Canadian crooner's SWAG album release party. The two runway regulars appeared together in various outtakes from the event, for which they both wore clinging black outfits. The model-turned-entrepreneur enjoyed an indoor game of mini golf during the soiree. Dressed in clinging capris and a sleeveless top, she showed off her athletic prowess in two photos as she flexed her powerful swing. Last month the superstar spent quality time with her sister Kylie Jenner and their friends during a vacation in Tuscany. And shortly before heading to France, the sisters were in Italy with mom Kris Jenner for the star-studded wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Then, in late July, the famous family dined at the upscale Los Angeles restaurant The Ivy, in honor of matriarch MJ's 91st birthday. The celebration was cause for a fashion parade, as the stars wore their best looks for the special occasion.

Report: Bengals entertaining trade offers for Trey Hendrickson
August 17 - The Cincinnati Bengals are listening to trade offers involving four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson amid an ongoing contract dispute, NFL Network reported on Sunday. Hendrickson, who is slated to make $15.8 million in base salary in 2025, has been seeking a new deal all offseason. In mid-May, the star pass rusher told reporters he wouldn't play this season unless he received a bump in pay. Hendrickson, 30, led the NFL in sacks last season with 17.5. He has 35 over the past two seasons and 57 in four seasons with the Bengals. Hendrickson apparently craves an increase in pay that will place him in the higher echelon of defensive players. Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt just landed the highest annual average salary ($41 million) in history for a defensive player. Over the offseason, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ($40 million AAV) and Los Angeles Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby ($35.5 million) also landed huge deals. Hendrickson has been a Pro Bowl selection in all four of his seasons with Cincinnati. He played his first four seasons with the New Orleans Saints, serving as a backup for the first three campaigns. Hendrickson has 77 sacks, 220 tackles and 14 forced fumbles in 110 games (81 starts). --Field Level Media
