Welcome to MtM #Vegas – Our weekly look at the cool #news and happenings in Sin City.
Four different people hit $1 million+ jackpots this week in Las Vegas this week including one at Downtown’s newest casino Circa. Speaking of Circa, its sister property is getting its famous Manneken Pis statue back after it was toppled back in September. Good to see that new Vegas icon returned to its perch.
In other news we got a detailed look at the newly renovated rooms at Wynn Las Vegas and while the design may be polarizing, no one will call it low quality. We also discuss both of Vegas’ water parks coming under the same ownership, a new pedestrian circle bridge coming to the Strip, appreciation bonuses for casino workers, a $100K glitch and Chris Angel’s brand new Dragone show coming to Planet Hollywood.

Housekeeping …. they are the lynch pin in hospitality. They need to be treated far better…. all hourly staff for that matter need to be treated better.
They really need to put something in front of Trump… a water park there would be perfect.
Coomer & Ostermann! Keep up the great work! I wonder if the bridge will bring more people to the lovely Aztec Casino? 🤔
I am one of the few people who love TI but your conspiracy theory could be correct as in the news story the spokesman for the casino definitely wanted it made known that the winner was a TI Player's Club Member 🙂
Great show gentlemen!
Thanks for all the information. Question: If I became a Founder's card member and received diamond status as a result, how can I keep that status? Do I need to pay each year for the Founder's membership? Thanks in advance
The ATM theft reminds me of a time when the Trailer Park Boys were trying to rob an ATM. Bubbles, speaking of that security device that sprays blue paint all over, says, "Be careful – I don't wanna look like those bald a–holes in that Intel commercial."
When were in TI in September in the back, by CVS, somebody playing that Farm Produce machine walked away from it in the middle of a bonus round. All of the sudden, the buzzers and bells go off, as the machine hit a $5000 jackpot and freezes. TI floorpeople gathered around it immediately, looking around for the winner, but he wasn't around. We were on our way out, so we never saw what happened, but it was one of the weirdest things we'd ever seen in a casino.
The new Wynn rooms looks nice! I haven't stayed at the place for a long time. I'm heading back to Vegas in April for the NAB Conference, I'll probably be staying at Resorts World or Wynn/Encore when I'm in town.
Sahara pedestrian bridge looks Great, Hope they build it like the concept.
There was an old Full House episode where one of the girls hit the button when one of the uncles stepped away for a minute and hit the jackpot.
Wooh when you zoomed in and did circles around that intersection made me super dizzy.
I like the Wynn rooms. Warm. Kinda a east coast vibe with the wood walls. I don’t really get Asian vibe when I see it I see more cozy warm apartment in NYC.
Thanks for the info👍🏻👍🏻. Not a fan of the Wynn rooms. Plan on being there in July so will check them out first hand. Thanks
Don't trust those online casinos one lick. Some regulator has to grow a pair and slam them with a monstrous fine (minimum half a mil) in order to force them to fix their glitches b4 too many more customers are screwed out of jackpots. Especially since they concede they've known about the glitch for a period of time. Same thing goes for brick and mortar places. If the B&M casinos claim a malfunction after somebody hits a slot machine jackpot, they should be forced to pay half of the jackpot on the spot and argue their case in court for the rest. Force the casinos to go after IGT or Konami (or whoever makes the machines) to recover those payouts. That'll be incentive enough to ensure glitch-free machines in the future.
I wanted to reach into the screen and slap marks face. Soon as Shaun said Wet N Wild, Mark’s thoughts went totally wrong. Wrong Wet N Wild Mark. Wrong one. Lmao
👍👍👍👍
