The Plaza Hotel & Casino brings back the only All-Inclusive Hotel Room Package in Las Vegas this summer
Given its popularity for the past two summers, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is again offering Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $104 per person per night for stays this summer.
The Plaza was the first Las Vegas property to introduce an all-inclusive hotel room package in the summer of 2024. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property has offered it every summer since.
“We always want our guests to have a great time and feel that they are getting the best value for their vacation dollars,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our all-inclusive hotel package has been created based on our guests’ feedback and offers waived resort fees, meals, bottomless drinks, and other perks to ensure they have a memorable experience.”
The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees, but guests still can enjoy free access to the fitness center, self-parking, and rooftop pool. The package also includes free early check-in, free bottled water, bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor, and breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets. Guests also receive a 25% discount on cocktails at the rooftop pool, because there is no better way to enjoy a summer vacation than sipping a chilled beverage poolside.
The Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel room package is available for booking online for stays June 1 through August 31 at plazahotelcasino.com/las-vegas-all-inclusive-room-package/.

Gamification as a Responsible Gaming Tool in iGaming Platforms
In iGaming products, gamification often shapes how engagement is structured. Missions, level systems, progress indicators, and challenge mechanics turn gameplay into a guided journey. As responsible gaming (RG) evolves from a compliance obligation into a product design requirement, these same mechanics are being used to make RG tools more visible and easier to use—so they feel like part of the experience rather than something hidden or separate.
In this article, Atlaslive shares its perspective on how technology can support safer, more transparent player journeys.
The Shift: RG as a Core Product Function
Responsible gaming is increasingly seen as a capability the platform must deliver effectively, not just offer in theory. Features such as limit-setting, reality checks, and session breaks are expected to be easy to find, simple to understand, and accessible without friction.
For instance, the UK Gambling Commission requires financial limits and time-based controls to be available at all times, not buried in complex navigation or hidden menus. These expectations also apply to how operators present and implement RG tools, emphasizing clarity, usability, and genuine player choice rather than a box-ticking approach to compliance.
At the same time, safer play organizations stress the value of approachable support. GambleAware materials highlight player-focused tools that help users reflect on their habits, review activity, and maintain control.
Practical Applications of Gamification in RG
Gamification becomes useful in RG when it improves the visibility and approachability of these features. Structured prompts and familiar UI elements can draw attention to tools without disrupting the player experience. Gamified elements can also provide helpful context—such as time or spend snapshots and gentle check-ins—without creating alarm or discomfort.
It also supports normalization of responsible actions. Step-by-step limit setting, clear confirmations, and neutral prompts around pauses or reality checks can frame these moments as standard parts of play rather than interruptions. In this way, gamification helps position breaks and reviews as choices, not restrictions.
What to Avoid
Gamification loses its value when it drives intensity instead of control. Mechanics that create urgency or reward extended sessions and higher spending can undermine RG goals. Problems also arise when RG tools are difficult to access—when players have to search for limits or breaks—or when messaging feels overly heavy, making support features uncomfortable to use.
In short, when applied thoughtfully, gamification helps RG tools integrate naturally into the overall product experience and supports long-term player trust.
