*Another Las Vegas Strip icon quietly closed for good*

Some Las Vegas Strip icons die in spectacular fashion. In many ways an implosion, complete with crowds, cameras, and fanfare feels a bit like a Viking funeral. It's a sad occasion that also lets a casino end its existence in a fashion befitting any major piece of Las Vegas Strip history. You can expect the final days of Tropicana, for example, to be a celebration of that property's long history. It may not get an implosion, but everyone knows the end is coming as the second-oldest Strip casino will make way for the Oakland Athletics' new stadium.Related: Formula 1 race sheds light on a huge Las Vegas Strip problem In other cases, pieces of Las Vegas Strip history sort of fade away without any fanfare. That's what happened at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat which had a 30-year run at Mirage. Since the new owners had no interest in the publicity that came every time a dolphin died, they instead quietly shut the animal habitat down. There was no long goodbye or really any goodbye at all. One day a temporary closure became permanent and the last vestige of the legendary magic duo was removed from the property that will eventually become Hard Rock Las Vegas. A similar fate has befallen another iconic piece of the Las Vegas Strip, this time at Caesars Entertainment's CZR flagship Caesars Palace property.

A Caesars Palace Icon quietly meets its end Anyone who visits Caesars Palace likely notices the Cleopatra's Barge space, even if they don't know what it is. Created in the 70s, the bar/club actually was a pretty unique, albeit silly concept. "A popular lounge in the Caesars Palace hotel, the main attraction is the floating dance floor. A barge that sits in water, where it's lightly rocked by hydraulics. An elaborate re-creation of the Egyptian times," is how TripAdvisor described the The Barge opened in 1970, and while it was lightly updated over the years, it remained an icon of old Las Vegas. It was eye-catching, even in the modern era, but few Las Vegas Strip bars get a 10-year-run, let alone one that lasted until the covid pandemic when Cleopatra's Barge closed. "Cleopatra’s Barge was significant because it lasted. It was considered the last iconic piece of Old Vegas architecture still in active use on the Strip," Casino.org shared. Alas, nothing on the Strip is forever (except perhaps Donny Osmond and Wayne Newton) and the temporary closure has now become permanent and very different tenant will take over the space.Caesars Cleopatra's Barge goes upscale Clique Hospitality, which runs a number of upscale bars and nightclubs both on and off the Las Vegas Strip will take over the property. The company celebrated that with a series of posts on Instagram that revealed that the property will become Caspian's Caviar and Cocktails The social media post including an image of a pantsless woman arched over a guitar and another woman licking caviar off her arm. Another image shares what appears to be the slogan for the new bar. "Inhibitions are out. Defiance is in." Hard to see how an upscale bar selling caviar can be particularly defiant, but the new owners have a clear vibe they're going for that's decidedly different from the kitschy Cleopatra's Barge. "On the outside, Caspian’s exudes European elegance. An exceptional collection of caviar will be enjoyed from an intricately designed bar and intimate tables in a luxurious setting that dramatically pairs onyx and pearl hues with detailed brass," Clique hospitality shared in a press release. The new operator called the space an "homage to Art Deco’s Parisian roots." In addition to caviar, and a curated selection of vodka designed to accentuate the flavors of the pricey dish, the venue will have a full bar as well as nightly music performances.

*Target says shoppers appreciate locking up its products*

Theft has been on the rise since the pandemic and some of the biggest retailers in the country have had to take drastic measures in order to curb the costly epidemic. In 2022, retail theft resulted in industry losses of $112.1 billion, compared to $93.9 billion in losses the previous year, according to the National Retail Federation.Related: Target CEO has surprising words on retail theft But Target CEO Brian Cornell has been touting his company's response to the threat over the past few weeks, saying that he has gotten a solid handle on tackling the issue of retail theft at the more than 1,900 stores he overseas. In order to curb theft, Target, and many other retailers, have resorted to placing some of the stores most stolen items behind locked glass enclosures. The enclosures are ugly, and some customers have said that they would stop shopping at stores with the security feature. On Wednesday, Cornell told CNBC that not only are the enclosures working, but also that Target shoppers are very appreciative of the effort. "Just in the last week I’ve been on the East Coast and on the West Coast in many of those stores that you’ve talked about where, items have been locked up. And actually what we hear from the guests is a big thank you," Cornell said on a media call after the company's earnings release Wednesday.

(Photo by: Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) UCG/Getty Images "Because we are in stock with the brands that they need when they’re shopping in our stores. And because we’ve invested in team member labor in those aisles and make sure we’re there to greet that guest, open up those cases and provide them the items they’re looking for." But there is also evidence that some shoppers don't really appreciate the glass enclosures that keep shoppers (and thieves) from easily accessing everyday items like deodorant. More than a quarter of consumers surveyed in August by Coresight Research said that they would shop elsewhere if their local store started putting items under lock and key. But the enclosures are a better alternative than one other tactic Target has tried in recent months: closing stores. On Sept. 26, Target announced that it was closing nine of its stores across four different states due to shoplifting. The company said that the rise in theft was “threatening the safety of our team and guests.” On Oct. 21, it closed three stores in California, three in Oregon, two in Seattle and one in New York City.

*USPS lost $6.5 billion this year*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Thursday, November 15. Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I’m J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up over 160 points, the Nasdaq closed up fractionally, and the S&P also closed fractionally higher. This comes after yet another encouraging inflation report. October’s Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale prices, fell by 0.5 percent, marking the biggest monthly drop since April 2020. Investors are hoping that this cooling inflation will put an end to interest rate hikes. In other news - the United States Postal Service suffered a big financial loss to the tune of $6.5 billion, after predicting it would break even in 2023 and have a clear path to profitability. Despite the USPS seeing a slight uptick in revenue from both its shipping and packaging and first-class mail departments, an 8 percent decrease in marketing mail led to a $920 million hit. According to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, an increase in printing prices led to a severe reduction in the amount of marketing junk mail sent. On the agency’s outlook, DeJoy said quote “We are already providing more consistent, reliable, and timely delivery to America’s businesses and residences. We are also addressing near-term financial headwinds relative to inflation as we make strong progress in our long-term cost control and revenue-generating strategies.” Unlike most federal agencies, the Postal Service is not funded by the government. It stopped receiving taxpayer money in the 1970s and regularly depends on sales to keep running. That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.
