June 03MGM & Caesars Are Leaving Wall Street — The New Era of Las Vegas + Rio's Questionable Buffet!
Save big on Vegas with Las Vegas Advisor — get 10% off a membership with code MTM (new members, affiliate): lasvegasadvisor.com

I went on vacation and they sold Las Vegas. Live from Montenegro this week because the news would not wait — both of the Strip's biggest operators are heading toward going private.

Barry Diller's People Inc. (the former IAC) has put a non-binding, all-cash offer on the table to buy the 73.9% of MGM Resorts it doesn't already own at $48.30/share — an ~$18 billion deal — and take the company private. Pair that with the Caesars / Fertitta Entertainment take-private we covered last week, and Las Vegas may be entering a brand-new era owned by the billionaire class instead of Wall Street. Is that good or bad for the guest experience? I make the case.

Plus: the Cromwell has officially reopened as the Vanderpump Hotel (new lampshades, the Gigolo cocktail garden, and why it's still the best Caesars property to base yourself at), the Rio's new $27 buffet that's drawing comparisons to a highway motel breakfast, and a little Star Trek: The Experience nostalgia.

May 22EDC Vegas Prices Are Insane, Primm's Last Hope, Wild Vegas Shower & Pedestrian Bridge MYTH!
Episode Description

EDC Las Vegas is expanding to two weekends, and the money around the festival keeps getting harder to believe. Shawn and Mark talk about the $4,400 official EDC hotel package at Virgin, the roughly $215K Saturday-night spend one guest posted online, and why Vegas only needs a few whales to change the math for everyone else.

They also cover Primm's upcoming July 4 closure, the Primm family's attempt to find a path forward, the sad housing situation for workers, and the only half-joking idea that EDC should just buy Primm. Other topics include Golden Tiki's new food and drink menu, Circa's Father's Day package, the Colorado Belle's uncertain future, Four Queens' aggressive shower, and the myth that Strip pedestrian bridges were built to funnel tourists into casinos.

Heart Attack Grill has closed in downtown Las Vegas after 15 years, and its goodbye statement took a flamethrower to modern Vegas.
