A lot is going on this week as Las Vegas strolls into the New Year. On this episode we discuss the November visitor numbers and just how well year 2 of the F1 race did. Mixed results, but what will the gaming numbers look like and who will visit the race in year 3?

In other news Bally's is looking for investors as the A's president resigns. What is the latest with the ballpark? We also discuss: MGM's $5 million slot challenge, the potential of new MGM fees, a Vegas bartender's take on CES, Caramella at Planet Hollywood, the best burgers in Vegas?, Ellis Island's new frontage, a new Hard Rock concept and who won Circa Survivor's $14 million prize.
