A famous Las Vegas resort is for sale. And one more is rumored for demolition.

Plus, a big fight broke out at a Hard Rock hotel. But least most of the participants wore masks.

Those are some of today's travel headlines I thought you, too, may find interesting.

Things are getting interesting south of the Las Vegas Blvd. & Tropicana Avenue intersection.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported today that Gaming and Leisure Properties wants to sell the Tropicana resort and casino (which is a DoubleTree hotel, FWIW).

Across the street, rumors are swirling Luxor faces implosion. (If that happens, book a north-facing room at Mandalay Bay or Delano - if they let you.)

But the pyramid and sphinx might not be the only resort turning to dust. Does its neighbor to the north face a similarly uncertain future?

"The same dilemma is faced by Excalibur," Vital Vegas says. "Good luck tweaking a castle."
