It looks like the Vinewood Casino in GTA Online might finally get its grand opening.Earlier today, alongside its usual weekly update Grand Theft Auto Online made a small but important tweak to Los Santos. As several eagle-eyed players noticed, the large "Opening Soon!" banner draped across the doors of the casino on the east end of the city has disappeared, and small pieces of construction equipment now sit outside its doors. And it's likely that we'll see the fruits of that construction in the near future.Notable GTAO and Red Dead Online data miner TezFunz2 claims in a series of tweets that players will "see the area near the casino changing in-game," which makes sense - especially since the casino now also appears to have an interior now.It's likely a hint from Rockstar that we'll see a casino-themed update, similar to the After Hours or Arena War updates, come to GTA Online sometime soon. We don't know if it will simply be adding gambling minigames or something more elaborate, perhaps a continuation of the Heists update What do you think about this subtle (but potentially important) update? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to tune into our E3 2019 hub for all the news coming out of next week's big show.
