This week we finally got the gaming numbers for November, 2024 and they aren't great as expected. While the declines are less than we saw with room rates, numbers are down from 2023. We take a look at the numbers going back to 2021 to see what the impact of F1 is and whether the race should be back past year 3.

In other news Durango has announced the beginning of construction on their anticipated phase 2. It has been cutback significantly, so what exactly are they building and when will it be open? We also discuss the top Sphere visuals of the year, Lenny Kravitz' possible residency, Virgin's strike woes, the old Circus Circus tram and bungee, problems at Wolfgang Puck, another casino floor robbery and how a Dutch couple is looking to set a world record for visiting the most casinos in 24 hours.
