This week we got word of another Vegas area casino closing. Primm has long struggled with three casinos that have seen much better days. For years the area has struggled but this week we got word that the oldest casino may be closing for good. Along with the closure comes other shakeups. The big question is whether any of the casinos in this area can survive. What will it look like it five years?

In other news Fontainebleau Las Vegas turned one year old this week. After sitting abandoned for over a decade the property has had mixed results, but it brings a uniqueness to the Strip. What does it need to be successful? We also discuss the Resorts World cowboys, crazy room noise at MGM Grand, the King David Hotel, depositing casino cash to your bank via ATM, F1 removal, the holidays Sphere style and how Las Vegas has become the most exciting sports town.
