Founder of RR Group announces the launch of a new brand – iKon., a first-of-its-kind solution in performance marketing. Unlike anything currently on the market, iKon. is revolutionizing the industry by eliminating traditional media buying from the equation. Instead of buying traffic, we offer performance-driven creatives on a revenue-share basis – a radical departure from the conventional agency model.
Founded by Nikolai Belikov, a recognized industry expert, and backed by a team of experienced specialists, iKon. focuses on helping brands enhance their strategies, improve performance, and navigate the ever-changing digital industry with precision and confidence. iKon. does not compete with in-house teams – it strengthens them. Through strategic guidance, creative expertise, and comprehensive education, brands gain the ability to enhance their internal operations rather than relinquish control. The focus is not on short-term media buying but on establishing trusted partnerships and long-term success.
A Game-Changing Era: Media Buying Without Buyers
The industry is saturated with media-buying agencies, yet their fundamental approach remains unchanged: buy traffic, optimize, repeat. Recognizing the limitations of traditional models, iKon. has redefined the approach to performance marketing. Rather than hiring buyers or allocating massive budgets to ad spend, iKon. focuses on creativity, strategic execution, and performance optimization in ways unmatched by any other player in the industry.
By removing the reliance on media buyers, iKon. has developed a model that places brands firmly in control. With a focus on creative production, anti-fraud strategies, strategic consulting, and media optimization, iKon. provides a comprehensive framework for sustainable and scalable growth.

- High-Impact Creative Solutions – Creativity determines success in a competitive digital landscape. iKon. develops performance-driven creatives that do more than capture attention – they engage, convert, and drive measurable revenue growth.

- Strategic Consulting – Leveraging deep industry knowledge, iKon. helps brands identify blind spots, optimize internal workflows, and implement anti-fraud measures to maximize ROI. With media buying and marketing expertise, the team ensures every advertising dollar works harder and smarter.
- Resale & Media Optimization – Strong partnerships with top-tier advertising sources allow iKon. to unlock new opportunities in media space utilization. Through a refined approach to resale strategies and ad account management, iKon. enables brands to maximize underutilized assets, enhance media efficiency, and generate additional revenue streams without direct involvement in traffic acquisition.
- Brand Performance Optimization – Success isn’t just about visibility – it’s about sustainability. iKon. builds high-performance marketing ecosystems that fuel long-term brand growth and profitability.

Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package is back for summer at the Plaza Hotel & Casino

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:
- Smart lockers have been installed in a climate-controlled area leading out to the pool allowing guests to conveniently store their belongings with just their phone for a nominal rental fee.
- New sun loungers that can accommodate two guests have been added poolside and are available for rental that includes towels, an umbrella and dedicated cocktail service.
- 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.
To take advantage of the Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel room package, rooms must be booked online by Aug. 29 for a stay June 1 through Aug. 30.
