Episode Description

This week Caesars Entertainment agreed to pay a $7.8 million fine in relation to a famous bookmaker gambling in their casinos. While the company does not admit fault, in the proposed settlement they will pay huge money and tighten up AML procedures, but is this enough? Does this latest fine expose the culture of turning the other way in Nevada's casinos?

In other news Stage Door Casino has reopened after months of rehab. It doesn't look too different, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. We also discuss: MGM's holiday festivities, MGM Grand's finished renovation, Guy Fieri's higher prices, Red Rock's new pizza, Todd English losing a restaurant, TX BBQ coming to Vegas, a Downtown social media feud, more leaks and Landmark vs. Stratosphere 1995.
