Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Organization and Business Remark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Remark”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which include its consolidated variable-interest entities ("VIEs"), are primarily technology-focused. Our KanKan social media data intelligence platform serves as the basis for our development and deployment of artificial-intelligence-based solutions for businesses in many industries and geographies. We also own and operate digital media properties across multiple verticals, such as travel and entertainment and young adult lifestyle, that deliver relevant, dynamic content that attracts and engages users on a global scale. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol MARK. Liquidity Considerations During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and in each fiscal year since our inception, we have incurred net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $313.7 million as of March 31, 2018. Additionally, our operations have historically used more cash than they have provided. As of March 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $21.9 million, and we had a negative working capital balance of $29.4 million. Our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $16.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued a total of 382,308 shares of our common stock to private investors in exchange for approximately $1.3 million in cash. We did not make similar issuances of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On November 9, 2016, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (as amended, the “Aspire Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Aspire Capital up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of shares of our common stock over the 30-month term of the Aspire Purchase Agreement. On September 18, 2017, we entered into a First Amendment to the Aspire Purchase Agreement, which provides that the parties may mutually agree to increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased per business day pursuant to the terms of the Aspire Purchase Agreement to 2,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2018, Aspire has purchased $12.8 million of shares of our common stock under the Aspire Purchase Agreement. We are a party to a financing agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (as amended, the “Financing Agreement”) with certain of our subsidiaries as borrowers (together with Remark, the “Borrowers”), certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and MGG Investment Group LP, in its capacity as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders (“MGG”), pursuant to which the Lenders extended credit to the Borrowers consisting of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million (the “Loan”). The terms of the Financing Agreement, the amendments thereto, and related documents effective as of March 31, 2018 are described in Note 11 . Changes to the terms of the Financing Agreement made after the end of the period covered by this report are described in Note 16 . We cannot provide assurance that revenue generated from our businesses will be sufficient to sustain our operations in the long term; therefore, we have implemented measures to reduce operating costs, and we continuously evaluate other opportunities to reduce costs. Additionally, we are actively assessing the sale of certain non-core assets, considering sales of minority interests in certain of our operating businesses, and evaluating potential acquisitions that would provide additional revenue. However, we may need to obtain additional capital through equity financing, debt financing, or by divesting of certain assets or businesses. Conditions in the debt and equity markets, as well as the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macroeconomic and microeconomic conditions, will play primary roles in determining whether we can successfully obtain additional capital. Additionally, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we are subject to certain limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt and transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, without the consent of the Lenders. We cannot be certain that we will be successful at raising additional capital. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, affect our cash flow; those factors include regulatory issues, competition, financial markets and other general business conditions. Based on our historical track record and projections, we believe that we will be able to meet our ongoing requirements through March 31, 2019 (including repayment of our existing debt as it matures) with existing cash, cash equivalents and cash resources, and based on the probable success of one or more of the following plans: — monetize existing assets — work with our creditors to modify existing arrangements or refinance our debt — obtain additional capital through equity issuances, including but not limited to equity issuances to Aspire Capital under its existing purchase commitment (which equity issuances may dilute existing stockholders) However, projections are inherently uncertain and we cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient income and cash flow to meet all of our liquidity requirements. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2017 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period. Management believes that we have included all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2017 Form 10-K”). Consolidation We include all of our subsidiaries, which include the variable-interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary, in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation. To comply with China’s laws which restrict foreign ownership of entities that operate within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we employ what we believe is a commonly-used organizational structure consisting of a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the VIEs to operate our KanKan business. We own 100% of the equity of the WFOE, while the VIEs are companies formed in China under local laws which are owned by members of our management team. We funded the registered capital and operating expenses of the VIEs by extending loans to the VIEs’ owners. We believe that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the equity holders of such entities do not have significant equity at risk and because we have been able to direct the operations of the VIEs. Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, the fair value of the warrant liability, income taxes, inventory reserve and purchase price allocation, among other items. Changes to Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent amendments (collectively “ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Accumulated deficit (the amount was not material). We have not retrospectively adjusted the information for the comparative period reported herein, which information we continue to report under the accounting standards in effect for that period. The amounts of revenue, accounts receivable and contract balances that we reported under ASC 606 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were not materially different than the amounts we would have reported under the accounting standards previously in effect. We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised goods or services to our customers, and we recognize an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When customers pay us prior to when we satisfy our obligation to transfer control of promised goods or services, we record the amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled as a contract liability until such time as we satisfy our performance obligation. As a result of our adoption of ASC 606, the line item previously labeled “Deferred revenue” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is now labeled “Contract liability”; the comparative period balance as reported herein did not change as a result of our application of the modified retrospective transition approach. For our contracts with customers, we only extend short-term credit policies to our customers, generally of 90 days or less. We record the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, because such costs would otherwise be amortized over a period of less than one year if capitalized. Transaction Services Our Travel & Entertainment segment generates our Transaction Services revenue, primarily using an agency model. To a lesser extent, we use a merchant model when we directly provide tour services to customers. Under the agency model, various service providers with whom we maintain relationships are ultimately responsible for delivering the underlying services for which our customers transact, such as lodging, air travel, entertainment, or tours. Our obligation to our customers is to arrange for these service providers to provide the underlying services, and we satisfy our obligation at the point in time that these service providers begin to provide the underlying service (e.g., upon the check-in date for lodging stays, upon the show/performance date for entertainment transactions, etc.). We recognize revenue from transactions under this model on a net basis (i.e., the amount charged to our customers less the amounts we pay to the service providers). Under the merchant model, we provide tour services directly to our customers. Our obligation to provide the tour services is satisfied at the point in time that we finish providing the tour. For transactions occurring under this model, we recognize revenue on a gross basis. Under either model, our customers pay at the time the original transaction occurs via our sales channels, primarily the Vegas.com website and mobile application. Because the original transaction date almost always precedes the date that our performance obligation is satisfied, we record a contract liability for the amount of consideration received. In general, we satisfy most of our performance obligations within approximately three to four months from the original transaction date, and substantially all performance obligations are satisfied within one year from the original transaction date. Data Platform Services Our KanKan business generates our Data Platform Services revenue. Using our proprietary data intelligence software, we screen potential loan candidates to provide only high-quality loan candidates to affiliates of banks and other lending institutions in China. We earn a commission for our service and we recognize that commission at the point in time at which a loan is issued by the lending institutions to a loan candidate provided by us in an amount we determine by multiplying the commission rate specified in our contracts with the affiliates of the banks and other lending institutions by the amount of such loans issued to loan candidates we have provided. Per our contracts with the affiliates of the banks and other lending institutions, we may be required to reimburse the affiliates of such lending institutions for a certain percentage of any loan defaults. We have determined that the portion of such contracts potentially requiring us to reimburse our customers represents a guarantee, the accounting for which is not within the scope of ASC 606. As a result, we account for such guarantee using other GAAP and record an initial liability equal to the total potential amount that we could be required to reimburse upon default, which approximates fair value. We initially record the liability in Accrued expense and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As we are released from our obligation to perform under the guarantee, we record the amount of reduction in the guarantee liability as Data Platform Services revenue. We have not yet recorded material amounts of revenue resulting from being released from our guarantee obligation. Advertising and Other Our Travel & Entertainment segment generates the majority of our advertising revenue, and we report the remaining amount of advertising revenue in Corporate Entity and Other in our segment information. We primarily generate advertising revenue from the use of sponsored links and display advertising placed directly on our website pages. Substantially all of our advertising contracts with customers are completed within one year or less. In click-through advertising contracts with customers, our obligation is to place our customers’ interactive ads on our websites for a specified period of time. We recognize revenue from click-through advertising at the point in time at which visitors to our websites click through the ads to our advertising customers’ websites. Any variability regarding contract consideration is resolved within the reporting period. Some of our advertising contracts with customers require us to place our advertising customers’ static display ads on our websites for a specified period of time or in a specific location on our websites, or both. We recognize revenue from such advertising placement arrangements either over time (ratably over the contract term) or based upon the delivery of advertising impressions, depending upon the terms of the contract. We also generate revenue from other sources, such as from e-commerce activity in which we sell goods to our customers, or media production which involves us producing video or Internet-based content for our customers. We recognize the revenue from these contracts at the point in time when we transfer control of the good sold to the customer or when we deliver the promised media content. Other than as noted above, we have made no changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our 2017 Form 10-K. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which changes GAAP primarily by requiring lessees to recognize, at lease commencement, a lease liability representing the present value of the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and a right-of-use asset representing the lessee’s right to use (or control the use of) a specified asset during the lease term, for leases classified as operating leases. For us, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 will become effective on January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that application of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows; however, we expect the impact to be material, as we will be recording assets and liabilities related to most of our leases, including our leases for office space, which we currently account for as operating leases. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE | NOTE 3. REVENUE We are not required to include disclosures related to remaining performance obligations because substantially all of our contracts with customers have an original expected duration of one year or less. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents a disaggregation of our revenue by major category for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (in thousands): Revenue category Amount Transaction services $ 13,852 Data platform services 1,183 Advertising and other 1,689 Revenue $ 16,724 Significant Judgments When accounting for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, we make certain judgments, such as whether we act as a principal or as an agent in transactions or whether our contracts with customers fall within the scope of ASC 606, that affect the determination of the amount and timing of our revenue from contracts with customers. Based on the current facts and circumstances related to our contracts with customers, none of the judgments we make involve an elevated degree of qualitative significance or complexity such that further disclosure is warranted in terms of their potential impact on the amount and timing of our revenue. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities We do not currently generate material contract assets. Other than changes resulting from routine business activity, the balance of our Contract liability did not change significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We recognized revenue of $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was included in the beginning balance of Contract liability at January 1, 2018. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Liabilities Related to Warrants to Purchase Common Stock At the end of each reporting period, we use the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate and report the fair value of liabilities related to certain outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock that are subject to potential anti-dilution adjustments or that contain put options or call options. Our outstanding liability-classified warrants include the warrants we issued or that we are obligated to issue as part of the consideration for our acquisition of assets of China Branding Group Limited (“CBG”) in September 2016 (the “CBG Acquisition Warrants”) and warrants we issued as a result of an amendment to the Financing Agreement related to the acquisition (the “CBG Financing Warrants”). The following table presents the quantitative inputs, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, used in estimating the fair value of the warrants: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 CBG Financing Warrants Expected volatility 60.00 % 60.00 % Risk-free interest rate 2.33 % 1.96 % Expected remaining term (years) 2.48 2.73 CBG Acquisition Warrants Expected volatility 60.00 % 60.00 % Risk-free interest rate 2.59 % 2.25 % Expected remaining term (years) 5.47 5.72 In addition to the quantitative assumptions above, we also consider whether we would issue additional equity and, if so, the price per share of such equity. At March 31, 2018, we estimated that two future equity financing events would potentially occur within the subsequent twelve months. Our estimate of expected volatility and our stock price tend to have the most significant impact on the estimated fair value of the CBG Financing Warrants and the CBG Acquisition Warrants. If we added or subtracted five percentage points with regard to our estimate of expected volatility, or if our stock price increased or decreased by five percent, our estimates of fair value would change approximately as follows (in thousands): Change in volatility Increase Decrease CBG Financing Warrants $ 385 $ 505 CBG Acquisition Warrants 1,265 1,265 Change in stock price CBG Financing Warrants $ 565 $ 650 CBG Acquisition Warrants 1,095 805 The following table presents the change in the liability balance associated with our liability-classified warrants (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 89,169 $ 25,030 Warrant exercises (59,907) — Increase (decrease) in fair value (8,610) 64,139 Balance at end of period $ 20,652 $ 89,169 At January 1, 2018, our outstanding liability-classified warrants included warrants we issued in connection with our acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Vegas.com, LLC in September 2015 (the "VDC Acquisition") and the financing related thereto (the "VDC Acquisition Warrants" and the "VDC Financing Warrants", respectively). On January 8, 2018, holders of VDC Acquisition Warrants with respect to 2,416,996 shares of our common stock exercised such warrants. Because the VDC Acquisition Warrants provided that such warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis only, we issued a total of 750,102 shares of common stock in settlement of such warrants without receiving any proceeds from the exercise thereof. On January 10, 2018, we exercised our right to exercise all remaining VDC Acquisition Warrants and VDC Financing Warrants (which right became effective when the closing price of our common stock reached $14.00) , exercising VDC Acquisition Warrants with respect to 6,184,414 shares of our common stock and VDC Financing Warrants with respect to 3,117,148 shares of our common stock. Because the VDC Acquisition Warrants and VDC Financing Warrants provided that such warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis only, we issued a total of 2,236,915 and 1,385,396 shares of common stock to the holders of the VDC Acquisition Warrants and the VDC Financing Warrants, respectively, in settlement of such warrants without receiving any proceeds from the exercise thereof. Contingent Consideration Issued in Business Acquisition We used the discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the liability related to certain cash payments stipulated in the VDC Acquisition that were contingent upon the performance of Vegas.com in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and are contingent upon the performance of Vegas.com in the year ending December 31, 2018 (the “Earnout Payments”). The significant unobservable inputs that we used, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the probability of achieving certain amounts of EBITDA, and the rate used to discount the liability. The following table presents the change during the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the balance of the liability associated with the Earnout Payments (in thousands): Balance at beginning of period $ 1,930 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (included in Other loss) 30 Balance at end of period $ 1,960 On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, we included the current portion of the liability for contingent consideration as a component of Accrued expense and other liabilities, and the long-term portion as a component of Other liabilities (see Note 12 |

RESTRICTED CASH | NOTE 5. RESTRICTED CASHRegarding our restricted cash, $2.25 million relates to the Financing Agreement and secures our obligations under that agreement. The restriction on the cash related to the Financing Agreement will not be released until we have repaid all of our obligations under the Financing Agreement, unless we obtain the written authorization of the Lenders. The remaining amount of our restricted cash relates to the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement we have in place to satisfy the requirements of several of the vendors for whom we sell products (hotel rooms, air travel, show tickets, et cetera) through our online outlets. By contract, certain vendors require letters of credit as a means of securing our payment to them of amounts related to the sales we make on their behalf. We renew the letter of credit facility annually in May, and the restrictions on the cash related to the letters of credit will remain to the extent we continue to enter into contracts requiring the security of letters of credit. The following table provides a reconciliation of the amounts separately reported as Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets with the single line item reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows as Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (in thousands): March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 21,851 $ 22,632 Restricted cash reported in current assets 9,409 11,670 Restricted cash reported in long-term assets 2,250 — Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 33,510 $ 34,302 |

INCOME TAX | NOTE 10. INCOME TAX Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was (0.22)% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, due to indefinite-lived intangible assets and the effects of valuation allowances in various jurisdictions. The quarterly ETR has not significantly differed from our historical annual ETR. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that will affect the 2018 tax year. We have not completed our accounting for the Tax Act. As noted in our 2017 Form 10-K: — We were able to reasonably estimate certain effects and, therefore, recorded provisional adjustments associated with the impact on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities from reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate. — We were not yet able to reasonably estimate the effects for global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and deemed repatriation taxes. Therefore, no provisional adjustments were recorded. |

DEBT | NOTE 11. DEBT Short-Term Debt On April 12, 2017, we issued a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $3.0 million to a private lender in exchange for cash in the same amount. The agreement, which does not have a stated interest rate, required us to repay the note plus a fee of $115 thousand on the maturity date of June 30, 2017. The note is accruing interest at $500 per day on the unpaid principal until we repay the note in full. Long-Term Debt The following table presents long-term debt (in thousands) as of : March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Loan due September 2020 $ 35,500 $ 35,500 Unamortized discount (560) (836) Unamortized debt issuance cost (32) (79) Carrying value of Loan 34,908 34,585 Exit fee payable in relation to Loan 3,500 3,500 Total long-term debt $ 38,408 $ 38,085 Less: current portion (11,500) (38,085) Long-term debt, less current portion and net of debt issuance cost $ 26,908 $ — On September 24, 2015, we entered into the Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders provided us with the $27.5 million Loan. We entered into Amendment No. 1 to Financing Agreement on September 20, 2016 which, among other changes, increased the Loan by $8.0 million to a total aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Loan bore interest at three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1%) plus 10% per annum, payable monthly, and had a maturity date of September 24, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the applicable interest rate on the Loan was approximately 12% per annum. Changes to the terms of the Financing Agreement made after the end of the period covered by this report are described in Note 16 . In connection with the Financing Agreement, we also entered into a security agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”) with the other Borrowers and the Guarantors for the benefit of MGG, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein, to secure the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Financing Agreement. The Security Agreement provides for a first-priority lien on, and security interest in, all assets of Remark and our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. On October 25, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 2 and Waiver and Consent to Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders waived specified events of default under the Financing Agreement occurring prior to January 1, 2018, including but not limited to events of default resulting from our non-compliance with covenants requiring minimum consolidated EBITDA of Remark and its subsidiaries and value of our assets. The Lenders also waived the covenant related to restricted cash balance through September 19, 2017. On December 5, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Financing Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders agreed, among other things, to modify certain of our covenants under the Financing Agreement, including (i) replacing the covenant regarding consolidated EBITDA of Remark and our subsidiaries with a covenant regarding consolidated gross revenue of our subsidiaries engaged in the operation of our KanKan business, (ii) modifying the covenants regarding consolidated EBITDA of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries and the value of certain of our assets, and (iii) increasing the amount we are permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries operating our KanKan business, subject to certain conditions. The Financing Agreement, as amended, and the Security Agreement contain representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including financial covenants with respect to quarterly EBITDA levels of Vegas.com, quarterly revenue generated by KanKan and the value of our assets), events of default, indemnifications and other provisions customary for financings of this type. The occurrence of any event of default under the Financing Agreement may result in the Loan amount outstanding and unpaid interest thereon, becoming immediately due and payable. |

As a result of our decision, we recognized $2.3 million of unallocated rent expense in the corporate entity, and an associated liability for early lease termination. The current portion of the liability is recorded in Accrued expense and other current liabilities, with the long-term portion recorded in Other liabilities (see table above). The following table presents the change in the liability balance related to the early lease termination (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ — Establishment of early lease termination liability 2,295 Payment of rent and other costs (132) Receipt of amounts due under subleases 9 Other 1 Balance at end of period $ 2,173 |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NET LOSS PER SHARE | NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NET LOSS PER SHARE Equity Issuances During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued a total of 382,308 shares of our common stock to private investors in exchange for approximately $1.3 million in cash. We did not make similar issuances of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Stock-Based Compensation We are authorized to issue equity-based awards under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, our 2014 Incentive Plan, and our 2017 Incentive Plan, each of which our stockholders have approved. We also award cash bonuses ("China Cash Bonuses") to our employees in China, which grants are not subject to a formal incentive plan and which can only be settled in cash. We grant such awards to attract, retain and motivate eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants. Under each of the plans, we have granted shares of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock to our officers and employees with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Stock options and China Cash Bonuses generally expire 10 years from the grant date. All forms of equity awards vest upon the passage of time, the attainment of performance criteria, or both. When participants exercise stock options, we issue any shares of our common stock resulting from such exercise from new authorized and unallocated shares available at the time of exercise. The following table summarizes activity under our equity incentive plans related to equity-classified stock option grants as of March 31, 2018, and changes during the three months then ended: Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2018 9,397,056 $ 3.80 Granted 1,385,000 7.78 Exercised (63,960) 4.43 Forfeited, cancelled or expired (28,263) 4.59 Outstanding at March 31, 2018 10,689,833 $ 4.31 8.2 $ 18,254 Options exercisable at March 31, 2018 9,530,389 $ 4.52 8.1 $ 14,469 We granted an option to purchase 1.3 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.81 per share to Kai-Shing Tao, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, under the 2017 Incentive Plan, which our stockholders approved in January 2018. We recorded the entire $11.6 million of compensation expense associated with this award during the three months ended March 31, 2018 because Mr. Tao fully vested in the award at the time we received stockholder approval. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we neither awarded restricted stock under our equity incentive plans nor did we engage in any significant activity with regard to our China Cash Bonuses. We incurred share-based compensation expense of $11.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Net Income (Loss) per Share For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no reconciling items related to either the numerator or denominator of the loss per share calculation. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION We currently report on two segments: our Travel & Entertainment segment, which provides our customers with access to a full range of travel and entertainment services in Las Vegas and surrounding areas, and our Technology & Data Intelligence segment, which provides services to our customers based upon the data collected and processed by our proprietary data intelligence software. Our chief operating decision makers use Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of profitability for evaluating the operational performance of our reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, impairments and net other income, less other loss. For our Travel & Entertainment segment, Adjusted EBITDA includes an allocation of rent expense, which allocation we base on usage of space. We do not allocate certain other types of shared expense, such as legal and accounting, to our reportable segments; such costs are included in Corporate Entity and Other. The following table presents certain financial information, including a disaggregation of revenue, regarding our business segments and other entities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): Travel & Entertainment Technology & Data Intelligence Corporate Entity and Other Consolidated Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Revenue $ 14,898 $ 1,183 $ 643 $ 16,724 Adjusted EBITDA $ 167 $ (1,518) $ (5,552) $ (6,903) Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Revenue $ 14,193 $ 131 $ 975 $ 15,299 Adjusted EBITDA $ 604 $ (480) $ (2,380) $ (2,256) The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Loss before income taxes (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Adjusted EBITDA $ (6,903) $ (2,256) Less: Depreciation and amortization (2,718) (2,861) Impairments — — Share-based compensation expense (11,605) (275) Other income, net (11) (19) Plus: Other loss 31 31 Operating loss $ (21,206) $ (5,380) Other income (expense) Interest expense (1,406) (1,018) Other income (loss), net 11 19 Change in fair value of warrant liability 8,610 6,569 Other loss (31) (31) Total other income, net $ 7,184 $ 5,539 Loss before income taxes $ (14,022) $ 159 The following table presents total assets for our segments and the corporate and other entities (in thousands): March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Travel & Entertainment segment $ 80,298 $ 75,820 Technology & Data Intelligence segment 4,778 5,105 Corporate entity and other business units 17,730 22,612 Consolidated $ 102,806 $ 103,537 Capital expenditures for our Travel & Entertainment segment totaled $1.0 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, while capital expenditures for our Technology & Data Intelligence segment totaled $0.4 million during each of the same periods, respectively. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 30, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 4 and Waiver to Financing Agreement, dated as of the same date (the "Fourth Financing Amendment"), to amend the Financing Agreement. The Fourth Financing Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) a reduction in the interest rate on the remaining amount outstanding under the Financing Agreement to three-month LIBOR plus 8.5% per annum, (ii) an extension of the maturity date under the Financing Agreement to September 30, 2020, (iii) a modification of certain of our covenants under the Financing Agreement, including covenants regarding capital expenditures, minimum value of certain of our assets, consolidated EBITDA of Vegas.com and its subsidiaries, and revenue generated by KanKan (iv) an increase in the amount we are permitted to invest in our non-U.S. subsidiaries operating our KanKan business (v) a waiver by the Lenders of certain events of default under the Financing Agreement and (vi) prepayment by the Borrowers of $8.0 million principal amount outstanding and $3.5 million of exit fees under the Financing Agreement within 60 days following the date of the Fourth Financing Amendment. In consideration for the Lenders’ entry into the Fourth Financing Amendment, we also paid a closing fee of approximately $413 thousand. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN22
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2018 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2017 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period. Management believes that we have included all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2017 Form 10-K”). |
Consolidation | Consolidation We include all of our subsidiaries, which include the variable-interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary, in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation. To comply with China’s laws which restrict foreign ownership of entities that operate within industries deemed sensitive by the Chinese government, we employ what we believe is a commonly-used organizational structure consisting of a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and the VIEs to operate our KanKan business. We own 100% of the equity of the WFOE, while the VIEs are companies formed in China under local laws which are owned by members of our management team. We funded the registered capital and operating expenses of the VIEs by extending loans to the VIEs’ owners. We believe that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the equity holders of such entities do not have significant equity at risk and because we have been able to direct the operations of the VIEs. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, the fair value of the warrant liability, income taxes, inventory reserve and purchase price allocation, among other items. |
Changes to Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition | Changes to Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent amendments (collectively “ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Accumulated deficit (the amount was not material). We have not retrospectively adjusted the information for the comparative period reported herein, which information we continue to report under the accounting standards in effect for that period. The amounts of revenue, accounts receivable and contract balances that we reported under ASC 606 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were not materially different than the amounts we would have reported under the accounting standards previously in effect. We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised goods or services to our customers, and we recognize an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When customers pay us prior to when we satisfy our obligation to transfer control of promised goods or services, we record the amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled as a contract liability until such time as we satisfy our performance obligation. As a result of our adoption of ASC 606, the line item previously labeled “Deferred revenue” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is now labeled “Contract liability”; the comparative period balance as reported herein did not change as a result of our application of the modified retrospective transition approach. For our contracts with customers, we only extend short-term credit policies to our customers, generally of 90 days or less. We record the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, because such costs would otherwise be amortized over a period of less than one year if capitalized. Transaction Services Our Travel & Entertainment segment generates our Transaction Services revenue, primarily using an agency model. To a lesser extent, we use a merchant model when we directly provide tour services to customers. Under the agency model, various service providers with whom we maintain relationships are ultimately responsible for delivering the underlying services for which our customers transact, such as lodging, air travel, entertainment, or tours. Our obligation to our customers is to arrange for these service providers to provide the underlying services, and we satisfy our obligation at the point in time that these service providers begin to provide the underlying service (e.g., upon the check-in date for lodging stays, upon the show/performance date for entertainment transactions, etc.). We recognize revenue from transactions under this model on a net basis (i.e., the amount charged to our customers less the amounts we pay to the service providers). Under the merchant model, we provide tour services directly to our customers. Our obligation to provide the tour services is satisfied at the point in time that we finish providing the tour. For transactions occurring under this model, we recognize revenue on a gross basis. Under either model, our customers pay at the time the original transaction occurs via our sales channels, primarily the Vegas.com website and mobile application. Because the original transaction date almost always precedes the date that our performance obligation is satisfied, we record a contract liability for the amount of consideration received. In general, we satisfy most of our performance obligations within approximately three to four months from the original transaction date, and substantially all performance obligations are satisfied within one year from the original transaction date. Data Platform Services Our KanKan business generates our Data Platform Services revenue. Using our proprietary data intelligence software, we screen potential loan candidates to provide only high-quality loan candidates to affiliates of banks and other lending institutions in China. We earn a commission for our service and we recognize that commission at the point in time at which a loan is issued by the lending institutions to a loan candidate provided by us in an amount we determine by multiplying the commission rate specified in our contracts with the affiliates of the banks and other lending institutions by the amount of such loans issued to loan candidates we have provided. Per our contracts with the affiliates of the banks and other lending institutions, we may be required to reimburse the affiliates of such lending institutions for a certain percentage of any loan defaults. We have determined that the portion of such contracts potentially requiring us to reimburse our customers represents a guarantee, the accounting for which is not within the scope of ASC 606. As a result, we account for such guarantee using other GAAP and record an initial liability equal to the total potential amount that we could be required to reimburse upon default, which approximates fair value. We initially record the liability in Accrued expense and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As we are released from our obligation to perform under the guarantee, we record the amount of reduction in the guarantee liability as Data Platform Services revenue. We have not yet recorded material amounts of revenue resulting from being released from our guarantee obligation. Advertising and Other Our Travel & Entertainment segment generates the majority of our advertising revenue, and we report the remaining amount of advertising revenue in Corporate Entity and Other in our segment information. We primarily generate advertising revenue from the use of sponsored links and display advertising placed directly on our website pages. Substantially all of our advertising contracts with customers are completed within one year or less. In click-through advertising contracts with customers, our obligation is to place our customers’ interactive ads on our websites for a specified period of time. We recognize revenue from click-through advertising at the point in time at which visitors to our websites click through the ads to our advertising customers’ websites. Any variability regarding contract consideration is resolved within the reporting period. Some of our advertising contracts with customers require us to place our advertising customers’ static display ads on our websites for a specified period of time or in a specific location on our websites, or both. We recognize revenue from such advertising placement arrangements either over time (ratably over the contract term) or based upon the delivery of advertising impressions, depending upon the terms of the contract. We also generate revenue from other sources, such as from e-commerce activity in which we sell goods to our customers, or media production which involves us producing video or Internet-based content for our customers. We recognize the revenue from these contracts at the point in time when we transfer control of the good sold to the customer or when we deliver the promised media content. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which changes GAAP primarily by requiring lessees to recognize, at lease commencement, a lease liability representing the present value of the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and a right-of-use asset representing the lessee’s right to use (or control the use of) a specified asset during the lease term, for leases classified as operating leases. For us, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 will become effective on January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that application of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations and cash flows; however, we expect the impact to be material, as we will be recording assets and liabilities related to most of our leases, including our leases for office space, which we currently account for as operating leases. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Quantitative inputs | The following table presents the quantitative inputs, which we classify in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, used in estimating the fair value of the warrants: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 CBG Financing Warrants Expected volatility 60.00 % 60.00 % Risk-free interest rate 2.33 % 1.96 % Expected remaining term (years) 2.48 2.73 CBG Acquisition Warrants Expected volatility 60.00 % 60.00 % Risk-free interest rate 2.59 % 2.25 % Expected remaining term (years) 5.47 5.72 In addition to the quantitative assumptions above, we also consider whether we would issue additional equity and, if so, the price per share of such equity. At March 31, 2018, we estimated that two future equity financing events would potentially occur within the subsequent twelve months. Our estimate of expected volatility and our stock price tend to have the most significant impact on the estimated fair value of the CBG Financing Warrants and the CBG Acquisition Warrants.
