Episode Description

This week the Vegas visitor numbers for August, 2025 were released and they continue to tell a story of a struggling industry. While visitors and rates were down by a noticeable amount, there was a bright spot with gaming revenue increasing once again. What is causing this disconnect and how can Vegas defeat the struggling narrative.

In other #news the Las Vegas police took delivery of their first cybertruck, but it comes with some other concerns. We also discuss: October 1 anniversary, restored Dunes sign lit, a crazy parlay loss, Excalibur's tiki bar, Atomic Golf's expanded all-inclusive deal, Reno's cool new stadium and why Desert Kingdom may be the coolest Vegas project that was never built.
