Episode Description

This week the big companies in Vegas both made the news for bad reasons. Caesars Entertainment has seen big stock declines in the past few years and that has led to them being removed from the S&P 500. Down the street MGM is beginning layoffs as the slow year of 2025 continues to churn on. Is this just the beginning?

In other news Zoox has officially launched as the first autonomous rideshare service in Las Vegas. And it's free for now. We also discuss: $2 poolside ice cream, the big fight, an update on Mirage's art auction, why Hard Rock won't have an atrium, Brewdog's refresh, the new Clique and how gamblers are losing hope with the 100% gambling loss deduction.
