Episode Description
This week traffic was a mess in Las #Vegas as the massive Tropicana interchange project closed the freeway, Tropicana and caused massive backups. It’s a good thing snow visited the valley as well to cheer everyone up.
In #other news we got an update timeline on the new #Durango casino and also confirmation of an opening date for Wildfire Fremont. This is Las Vegas’ newest casino and will fill the local market for people who live Downtown but want to avoid Fremont Street proper. We also discuss a dramatic Strip rescue and the first rumblings of the Mirage to Hard Rock transition.

That strip fire rescue looks straight out of an old CHiP's episode. John was in uniform, but Ponch was off duty.
Hmmmm, why is Virgin having issues? Let's see…could it be that it's well off the Strip with the cheapest room being $88 on a Monday? No, wait. Maybe it's the $51 resort fee for a non-Strip property! Heck, I can get a Strip room for just a few dollars more than the resort fee at Virgin. I would love to stay at the property, but Virgin (and many other LV properties) are going to have to figure out that the ridiculously high resort (and now parking) fees are driving away many of us.
Thank God, you guys haven’t talked about ChatGPT. It’s what the rest of the world seems to want to talk about… 😅
Maybe Virgin can open a buffet similar to the Palms, a lobster buffet one night, crab and seafood buffet another night, prime rib night l etc, etc, seems to working for the Palms,
Amazing to see that person dragged in the nick of time!!!
Yay for our civilian heroes 👊🏼
many blessings you two & fam 🤍
It was a pretty bad movie but it’s pretty funny when you’re baked lol
gee you think the guy who hit a tree might have been drunk? i wonder
Diver: DUI.. mutiple counts.. what an idiot
The Mirage is thinking you see a sold out audience at a Chris Angel show
MTM should show a graphic of what the new Tropicana Interchange will look like.
Will the new Interchange be a waste of money, time and convenience?????

Joe Biden was at the ribbon cutting ceremony for a billion dollar tunnel in NYC built with federal tax money.
NYC voted about 80% for Biden in the election, so NYC gets billions of dollars in pork barrel projects.
Gooey slimy politicians giving out hundreds of billions of pork to other gooey slimy politicians from Biden's Trillion dollar "Great Leap Forward" bills.
Corruption, corruption and more corruption.
Thanks guys these updates are great. You know you are going to regret throwing Jasmine under the bus. lol
Do you guys ever report on the different video poker payout structures at different casinos? Vegas used to have all of these 10/7/5 machines, but I think those days are long gone now.
I wouldn't say I am worried, but have plans to stay at HOME2SUITES just a 10 minute walk West of Excalibur in Early April. Sort of wondering what traffic will be like in and around the Tropicana interchange.
Chris Angel was hanging from a freeway overpass, that’s why there was cars were stopped! The magic trick gone awry.
Sheesh imagine being in that stopped traffic for hours and having to really go bathroom 😬😆
There are other video views on that car fire on LVB. The police acted a little casual. There are pedestrians yelling "its still burning! Still burning!" as cops meander away, leave guy in car, take time stopping traffic. It's wild. My joke, only because longer video shows driver is ok.. " see, people don't have to worry about losing the volcano – there's always pyrotechnic entertainment on LVB!"
$100 at Denny’s??? I’d take a Circus Circus buffet jump the line pass!!
I heard Planet Hollywood is running a contest promotion – First Prize is 2 Criss Angel tickets, Second Prize is 8 Criss Angel tickets.
The sad thing is that now that I’ve typed Criss Angel on my phone, I’m going to be seeing ads for his show every day for the next 6 months
Hey Mark….WILD WILD WEST!!
I just came home from LV. Glad I knew about Dropicana… just avoided the area altogether. At least it didn't cause backups onto LVB Blvd further north. I was at Wynn… they've put a letter in every guest room warning people about the huge project.
Nice video about Mirage. Thank that I got 2 different offers to match my Gold Mlife. 4 days each for 800 free play, 400 fb. No resort fees
Wonder I get Dimond stats after Icon stats from Unity 🤝
You’re overthinking the car on fire. It’s a white beamer, so of course the driver was doing something stupid.
Awesome police work!
There is a coming soon sign for a wild fire casino on Kyle canyon road and the 95.
Is station casinos ever gonna build on their flamingo and hualapai property?
I actually won tickets to chis angel. I would take a used gift card to dennys over those tickets.
Troy says he saw a background cat. I want to know if you have a cat.
