Welcome to MtM Vegas – Our weekly look at the cool news and happenings in Sin City.
This week we talk about Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas. With fairly substantial crowds and sports betting apps stressed to their limits, it was an interesting few days. Thankfully all worked out and many fans ended up with hundreds of dollars in free bonuses.
We also discuss the room renovations coming to Bellagio and Wynn. Shawn loves both while Mark thinks Wynn’s new rooms are a bit dated already. We also discuss Why Tom Brady is the GOAT and how Caesars Entertainment is cutting back booze at some properties. Are bean counters ruining Las Vegas?

A lot of people from California now have relatives and friends they can stay with in Vegas or as a friend told me, a whole house AirBNB rental costs less than staying at a hotel on the Strip with its resort fees.
Tom Brady is a cheater. He has a record of it, and if he really was the best ever he wouldn't have to do that.
damn, I would have checked out if I saw hair in my bed. I dare you guys to stay overnight at the Plaza, just one night is all I am asking for hahaha I jumped from the bed to the bathroom floor, no idea how but I did.
Cheers Shawn & Mark for a great vlog. I look forward to the chat every wk and gives me something to look forward too whilst on lockdown here in the Uk. I hope they don’t cut back on the free drinks because that’s why us Brits come on over for!!🇬🇧
Yo I’mma be there next week! Hook me up!
Great show guys, Thanks!
I stayed at encore in September and I love the way the rooms are. Good quality yes some of the furniture is dark but it’s almost like a warm residential feeling when you stay in those rooms. Like your home. Nothing wrong with an update. Also was the video glitching? Or was that my end ?
The Casinos that limit pours are just shooting themselves in the foot. Clearly they are catering to richer clientele that don't care to pay for 10 drinks, but those are the same people they should want to get drunk lol!
“Are the bean counters killing Las Vegas”
Are, have, has and will
Hi Shawn! Thanks so much for the updates, and I agree with you completely on all topics with the exception of the room make overs at the Wynn. Colors are a throwback! However, their client base are older and wealthy and they are catering to them. Mark; I know you can get that resort fee removed upon check in. Stay safe and healthy out there! CAB😊
Super bowl betting lines have nothing on Thursday morning lines during MM
I was at the Linq for Super Bowl weekend, it was also packed as well. Same goes for Caesar’s, especially their sports book.
regards drinks, exactly what you said , short measures , poor service especially in strip properties, i stay , drink, eat and gamble downtown, i would never put a cent into a strip casino unless i was desperate, i usually stay 4 queens, great cocktail service and as u say , the more you drink the more you gamble , so why cut the measures, its madness. most of the downtown properties have great service and everyone should go at least once.
Shawn, Mark – great video as per usual- informative, entertaining, colorful, insightful and downright funny sometimes.
Keep up the good work.
See you later,
Steve

Hey guys. Just wanted to put this out there……You probably know this, but I’m guessing that a lot of your viewers are not aware……
Resort fees are NOT for the stated purpose, Internet, pool, gym and so on.
The reason for resort fees is no more complicated than understanding third party booking.
If I book a room on Expedia or any third party sight, they are paid X amount of dollars based on the posted price of the room.
So…You pay $100 for a room on Expedia, and Expedia receives X % of that $100. But the hotel still puts the resort fee up your behind, and pays no % of the resort fee to the third party booking agent. It’s really no more complicated that that.
If they give you an honest price, let’s say $150…….the third party agent would receive that % on $150 instead of $100. I just wish the legislature would get involved and address the issue. But I think we all know who is in charge of who. It’s just a way to keep the money in house.
Thank you to our hosts Shawn and Mark. Shawn nailed it: Tom Brady and he did not have to resort to deflating the game footballs. Ha! K C Chiefs are a great team, but not on Super Bowl Sunday. They impersonated my Denver Broncos: when you absolutely need seven points, settle for three.
They are making it easier to just stay home and go to the local casino. Too bad cause I've gone every year for years.
Not sure when the short measures and watering down happened in Vegas, I was there last February and my 'free' Rum and Cokes were definitely doubles in most places. The ones at TI and the Mirage in particular kicked like a mule, which makes total sense if they want you to gamble while you are hammered.
I've always taken my own booze when I go. I was really happy when Total Wine opened up at Town Square.
There might be another reason for limiting the size of the comped drinks, pours, and limiting the Red Bull is that they might be trying to dampen down the "party bros" and "bro dudes" and folks who just act the fool, especially if they are not gambling that much but are being a big nuisance and or screeching like a pack of hyenas. Just a theory.
in michigan all bets are paid off instantly.
