About Velvet Gems

“A great Vegas trip is about making the most of everything the city has to offer,” said Sean McBurney, chief commercial officer and regional president of Caesars Entertainment. “Whether that’s staying at an iconic resort, seeing a headliner, or taking in panoramic views from the High Roller, these offers bring together some of Las Vegas’ most memorable experiences at an exceptional value.”

To sweeten the deal, Caesars is serving complimentary daily breakfast for visitors staying at Caesars Palace, Paris, and The Vanderpump Hotel. Stays at the Flamingo and LINQ are given $50 daily food and beverage credit.

Caesars, of course, isn’t the only major casino participating in the “Vegas 5-Day Sale.” MGM Resorts, which operates the most casinos on the Strip, has slashed Bellagio rooms by 25% and is incentivizing guests with $100 in daily F&B credit. MGM Grand rooms are 50% off.

How to play Velvet Gems

A separate private member’s bill was tabled by MP Martha Mahrous in January 2025. It proposed prison terms of two to five years and multi-million-Egyptian-pound fines for promoters, agents and payment facilitators. It has also gone nowhere.

Parliament rose on 22 July having passed 162 laws, none concerning betting. Egyptian news outlet Al-Watan reported that electronic betting was still among the committee’s files awaiting discussion on 17 August, listed separately from the cybercrime amendments. The House reconvenes on 1 October.

Neither bill has created a route to license private online betting. Egypt is pursuing an increasingly punitive enforcement model instead.
