He previously served as News Editor for EGR and also worked as a data editor for Stats Perform.

Evans’ move will see the London-based agency open its first office outside of the capital as the PR firm launches in Manchester.

With summer fast approaching, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting June 1 at $125 per person per night.

The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing the all-inclusive offer back and extending it for all of June, July and August.

“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.

The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees. 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.

With free access to the rooftop pool, guests can also enjoy the pool’s new amenities including:

  • Conveniently located next to the pool’s full-service cocktail bar, the Plaza Pool’s Food Truck will also be open all summer long offering light bites like street tacos, hummus & pita, and fruit cups, as well as more hearty fare like pizzas, hot dogs, burgers, and wraps.
  • Ice cream treats have been added to the retail concessions sold in the pool lobby.

History tells fans to expect goldmine of goals on last day of Prem season

Football fans can expect goals galore on the final day of the Premier League season, according to historical data. 

The final round of top-flight matches – gameweek 38 – take place on Sunday with 10 games all kicking off at the same time.

It’s a big day for bookies with all 20 teams in action and the both teams to score (BTTS) accumulator is a popular bet for supporters on the final day as goals fly in at both ends.

And now stats compiled by UK sportsbook Midnite highlight the facts behind the last-day blow out.

Midnite looked at stats since the Premier League became a 20-team division in 1995-96 to compare gameweek 38 with the averages from gameweeks 1 to 37 and found:

  • A 14.5% increase in goals per game

  • A 10.7% increase games where both teams score

  • A 7.3% increase in over 1.5 goals

  • A 15.9% increase in over 2.5% goals

  • A 30.1% increase in over 3.5 goals

  • A 13.3% increase in home wins

  • An 18.2% decrease in draws

A 15-year scoring streak

In 24 of the past 29 seasons – 82.8% – gameweek 38 has produced more goals than the average produced in previous gameweeks.

For the past 15 consecutive seasons, there have been more goals per game in the final gameweek than the goals per game stat throughout the season.

And for the past nine seasons, there have been more than three goals per game in gameweek 38.

This season so far, there’s been an average of 2.95 goals per game, so we would expect to see more than that in Gameweek 38.

The historical average tells us to expect a 14.5% increase – therefore a prediction of 3.38 goals per game on Sunday.

Last season saw a record 3.28 goals per game and was the first Premier League season to be higher than 3 goals per game.

In fact the last time we saw a top division of English Football have back-to-back seasons with more than 3 goals per game as an average was the 1966/1967 and 1967/1968 seasons.

We are unlikely to see that again as so far we have 1091 goals, to reach a season average of 3.00 we would need to see a total of 1,140 goals, so 49 goals would be needed on the final day, which would be 4.9 goals per game which would be highly unlikely.

The handbrakes are off

Midnite VP of Sportsbook Zach Amin said: “The last gameweek of the season often has a more open, unpredictable feel to it.

“A mixture of teams playing with the handbrake off and teams desperate for points to win the title, qualify for Europe or avoid relegation, usually makes for great entertainment.

“Although this season, the title and relegation are already sewn up, there’s still teams vying for European places and, as the historical data shows us, fans can look forward to goals galore.”
