Episode Description
A few weeks ago #Caesars upset a lot of people by not only changing their status match rules, but also retroactively removing status for people who didn’t qualify under the new rules. Thankfully they have now backtracked, making us wonder if they did it out of the kindness in their hearts or because they legally needed to.
In other #news we update you on what it was like on the Strip this last weekend including: numbing drinks at Cosmo, Paris Las #Vegas construction and the Cosmo’s awesomeness. We also discuss waived MGM resort fees with Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts, Peppermill’s announcement and the ways Resorts World continues to fall short nearly a year after opening.

Happy Easter or Passover βChag Sameachβ which means βHappy Festival.β Iβm in Brazil and today is a holiday hereβmostly still a Catholic culture.
I always enjoy your discussions guys. Happy Easter!
Thank you to our hosts Shawn and Mark for this fun segment. Yes, I agree βgoodwillβ by Caesarβs. Probably not a legal issue, but terrible PR move. We vote with our feet.
Thanks guys, great information as always π.
Happy to learn about Peppermill. Always Ike to dine there.
Mezcal is to tequila as scotch and bourbon is to whiskey. I'm about 70% committed to attending that festival at Resorts World. I can see Mark's perspective for sure. Some mezcals are super smoky and tend to be more refreshing mixed or frozen/blended.
Jing in DT:Summerlin also has a drink where you eat a flower and it has an effect on the pallet. Super cool!
The signage at the Harmon corner retail complex says "Fall 2022".
Itβs yin and yang with you two π I always agree with everything Shawn says and Iβm awkwardly laughing at all the weird dad jokes/comments Mark says
The people got the joke right away.
Caesar's was probably taking it in the shorts with bookings to do the reversal but the damage was already done for some who won't be returning. I just hope MGM doesn't ruin Cosmo too, we shall see. Verbena is the drink name you are discussing at Cosmo Chandelier bar, thanks guys.
Lol, π I got it
Nice video
Crack me up what you said about the local guy who won looking like someone kicked him in the junk! I know once I was waiting for a handpay and the loud noise and music coming from the machine was getting on my last nerve because it was going on for over 20 minutes and giving me a headache so aparently I did the same thing because a woman who walked up behind me said to her friend. " she just hit a jackpot you would think she would be happy" so I told her I was until i sat there for 20 minutes with that gawd awful noise! Maybe angry Henry was tired of the noise. HAHAHA ππ
The people appreciate the joke Mark. How did Shawn not get it? smh
was in vegas the past 10 days one thing i noticed which maybe not big deal to most but i always liked riding the deuce and sdx but for the 10 days i was there i never saw one sdx bus i got deuce to downtown and when it came to getting back to strip i had get a cab as i waited over an hour for sdx it didnt arrive and then went to duece stop and waited another hour until i gave up.i asked rtc about it and was told people not coming back to work especially for sdx.no idea how people get to premium outlets now as sdx was only bus that went to them outlets
