Welcome to MtM #Vegasââââââ – Our weekly look at the cool #newsââââââ and happenings in Sin City.
This week Resorts World Las Vegas continued their nods to the past by unveiling a Mike Tyson statue on their property. Unfortunately it wasn’t all good news this week as we learned their comp offer match hasn’t been so easy to get plus apparently they don’t have enough housekeepers so managers and other staff are cleaning rooms. Fun!
In other news 1/3 of Culinary Union workers have yet to return to work and they are rallying to complain about it. This week we also learned of an expansion at a local casino in Henderson, how a new approval could make the LA to Vegas train a reality and why Gene Simmons is selling his newish home in Vegas for $15M.

For people with $$$ there is no comparison between Malibu and other So co cali towns and Vegas………….Vegas is a desert, lol…………………..INO this bubble is going to be EPIC, it will make 2008 seem like good times
Circus is getting some improvements, I like it there and like it says here if you can't say anything nice don't say nothing at all
Thanks again guys. There's always a lot of cool and interesting stuff going on in Vegas and you guys do a great job of covering them. Hopefully they'll do away with the nickel-and-diming.
0:53 Mike Tyson's comeback tour hits Las Vegas, guess where it will be held! Resorts World is a casino business. That statute is an "investment".
Love your show!
Circus circus should do a Halloween special at the manor
Golden Tiki Bar is great, plus they have Dole Whip drinks there!
I work at Resorts World, no one in my department (that I am aware of) was asked to help out cleaning rooms.
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind about the Mike Tyson statue wasn't boxing, but the film 'The Hangover.'
Here in the Uk , we have the same problem with staffing levels in all sectors. Good selection of topics as always and look forward to next weekâs show!!đŹđ§
I come here for no fluff info on Vegas, good job guys.
I definitely think the resorts are being shrewd in whom they are calling back to work. Just like the airlines.
Any word on Wyndham resrartingvthere status matching?
Who cares, he is a thug!
You guys think RW will make a Don King statue? Haha.
Thanks for the video.
I heard that Circus Circus is improving the manor by putting in clean towels
MGM just traded a gigantic sum of real estate in exchange for more casino operations (reliable, recession proof, money makers). Tell me this isn't related to the crazy real estate situation.
Stop tipping those on the street, performing, and tipping those who works in the service industry, will make it better service,
That my way of seeing it.
Hi Shawn and Mark! Love the old school coin slots. Nothing like seeing and hearing those quarters coming out fast and filling up your plastic cups! LOL! Enjoy your week Guys! CABđ
Ruffinâs âimprovementsâ are simply putting lipstick on a pig. He is just waiting out covid and current economic conditions until he can sell at a huge profit.
Glad now I passed on visiting Resorts World last month. I have no desire to support a business that honors a convicted rapist.
I think they started denying large comp matchâs at resort world cause they matched me to a free 2 nights 25 slot and 50 dining credit no issue off a screen shot of mgm itâs very easy to modify a screen shot and lie to get a better match so I assume they have gotten some suspicious requests and just trying to avoid giving large freebies to low end players
Thanks for the video. I really hope that âthe helpâ has a little more appreciation from the higher ups now that they have to be the help. No one wants to work anymore they just want to sit in front of camera and post things and get famous.
I heard that Gene Simmons bought the lot next to it, that would explain the part of the price jump.
**are the resort's demanding v@xx for house cleaning staff?**
