M Resort will open its new hotel tower on Dec. 1, 2025. It\u2019s adorable.<\/p>\n

M Resort is also getting a new restaurant, Meril, from Chef Emeril Lagasse.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never been to M Resort, you\u2019re missing out, and not just because we got $6,000 in handpays there last week, probably.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Yes, it\u2019s a fugly neighborhood, but you\u2019ll only see it if you leave the casino, which is weird.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

M Resort sits about eight minutes south of the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

The resort\u2019s owner, Penn Entertainment, invested about $206 million in the new hotel tower.<\/p>\n

It sort of needs a name. We\u2019re going with \u201cLower Case M.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new tower doubles the room inventory of M Resort. It will now have 765 rooms and suites. Request a room facing The Strip, otherwise your view will be of dirt.<\/p>\n

Sorry, your room will offer panoramic vistas of the legendary Mojave Desert, a living canvas of golden sands and timeless horizons.<\/p>\n

Yeah, brown dirt.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the new M tower is an architectural wonder, basically what\u2019s known in the industry as \u201ca filing cabinet with windows.\u201d Remember, squares are cheaper than curves, every builder knows that.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Not to be indelicate, but sometimes, it\u2019s a good thing Steve Wynn has lost his eyesight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As for the new restaurant, Meril, it\u2019s named after Chef Emeril Lagasse. The original<\/a> is in New Orleans, or as it\u2019s sometimes called, \u201cStinkier Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meril is expected to open in Q1 of 2026. \u201cQ\u201d stands for \u201cquarter,\u201d or about how much of your Las Vegas vacation you\u2019ll remember if you did it correctly.<\/p>\n

Meril will be located in the former M Vue space, which was Hash House a Go Go at one point (that restaurant closed in Dec. 2013).<\/p>\n

\"\"
No, this wasn\u2019t announced, we journalismed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One thing we know for sure is the Meril logo is triggering to our fellow OCD sufferers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Emeril calls his daughter \u201cMookie,\u201d just one of the reasons she hasn\u2019t followed him into the culinary field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s a peek at the menu for the restaurant in New Orleans. We trust a good number of these items will make their way to M Resort.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Crowd-pleasing fare at a reasonable price. You know, Las Vegas circa 1978.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No additional details were provided about the restaurant.<\/p>\n

M Resort already has a collection of mostly good-not-great dining options, and anything new is welcome.<\/p>\n

Mostly, we enjoy reading news releases<\/a> because they often highlight the disconnect between how casinos view themselves and, you know, reality.<\/p>\n

Example, from Todd George, Executive Vice President, Operations for Penn: \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to begin welcoming more visitors to our market-leading resort. Coupled with our extensive, expanded array of amenities and our highly successful partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders, M Resort is becoming the premier destination for visitors and convention attendees from across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an art to claiming things that can\u2019t be easily verified. How is \u201cmarket-leading resort\u201d measured? Is M Resort really \u201cbecoming the premier destination for visitors and convention attendees from across the country\u201d?<\/p>\n

We love M Resort, but it\u2019s unclear if Todd George has actually been there, or if he knows about any other Las Vegas casinos.<\/p>\n

Still, M Resort is making new things, and that\u2019s awesome. We will always have a special place in our heart for M Resort because it hosts the Joy Prom<\/a> every year. We attended as a volunteer, not a guest. We know how you are.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to check out the rooms in M\u2019s new hotel tower and by that we mean the intimacy kits.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
